- Abstract
- This paper has two objectives – to emphasize the importance of technical standards for digital cinema, and to describe a set of other issues that must be addressed before distributors and exhibitors can begin a serious roll out of the new technology. As for the former, the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) strongly endorses the standards-setting efforts of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. This paper offers suggestions for continued SMPTE progress in the context of multiple standards-setting organizations. As for the second objective – analyzing pending issues other than standards – exhibitors and distributors must address costs, control, quality, security, alternative product, participation, and legal issues before the transition can occur. The paper concludes with a note of optimism that industry leaders will find a way to address the difficult issues and that a careful transition to digital cinema will occur.
