The EDCINE FP6 project proposal • Optimisation, enhancement and interoperability issues of future Digital Cinema standards. Main challenges • Could JPEG-2000 and MPEG-2 coexist with the ‘DCI specifications’ ? • Is it possible to secure and control cinema content from every studio to every screen? • Is optimal quality possible even with complex distribution schemes, including wireless transmission? (From EDCF Level 4 to Level 1)
The EDCINE Goals • EDCINE will push the limits of the SMPTE specs by including : • quality optimisation, • robustness to transmission errors, • content security tools, • stereoscopic imaging, • interactive access, • forensic marking, • metadata for indexing and retrieval. • and will study: • transcoding to/from MPEG-2 and JPEG2000, • end-to-end security from production to projection, • others content distribution markets (e.g. television, Internet, wireless access for mobile devices), • Networked access to cinema archives.
EDCINE, DCI and EDCF • EDCINE will demonstrate interoperable solutions between the DCI requirements and the European digital cinema needs. • EDCINE will ensure control and security of the content along the distribution chain. • EDCINE developments will be actively pushed at the ITU, SMPTE, JPEG and MPEG standard bodies, directly and through the European Digital Cinema Forum (EDCF).
