Executive Summary

January 2010 by Michael Karagosian

  • Avatar’s success will have an impact on digital cinema and motion pictures for years to come.
  • DCIP update. Rumors are that they have the money…so what’s the holdup?
  • ISDCF update. The March SMPTE DCP demonstration has generated incredible response from manufacturers striving to meeting SMPTE DCP and SMPTE closed caption standards.
  • SMPTE progress report. New standards in ballot, TI finally publishes its interface, and closed caption standards get stuck in the publication process over a slash.
  • Is DCI still relevant? With no products having passed DCI’s test plan, more changes to the spec to come, and a growing base of installations, the question is more pertinent than ever.
  • Rave acquired most of National Amusements.
  • AMC acquired the majority of Kerasotes.
  • NATO and MPTAC will demonstrate accessibility systems at ShoWest and Show Canada (respectively).
  • Larger Than Life 3D, an ambitious step taken to bring 3-D alternative entertainment to theatres, bombs at the box office.
  • MasterImage was purchased by Symphony 3D Holdings.
  • Kudos to David Hancock of Screen Digest for accurately predicting in 2006 the number of digital screens in 2010.
