Executive Summary

by

  • State of the Industry. Our bi-annual summary of issues that face the industry. These issues are addressed in more detail throughout the report.
  • 3-D and Expectations. 3-D has been a significant driver for converting to digital cinema. But is 3-D sustainable, and will 3-D for the home undermine 3-D in the cinema?
  • The Fulfillment Game. Fulfillment companies look to satellite for lowering the cost of distribution. But is this the only game in town?
  • Content Mastering and Security Key Management. These are the services that have become synonymous with fulfillment. But fulfillment companies have not been doing their job of managing the cost of these services, and could be facing difficulties as a result.
  • The Projection Booth. There is room for improvement in the projection booth. We explore where “cinema-in-a-box” technology will lead.
  • DCI Compliance and its Future With NIST. Now bed pals with the ever-evolving NIST FIPS 140 spec, studios could be boxing themselves in.
  • Deployment Entities and the Transition. The industry is enjoying perhaps the highest rate of technology adoption that it may ever see. But are we taking the right steps to ensure reasonable access to this technology for everyone?
