Inter-Society Digital Cinema Forum (ISDCF)

Inter-Society was founded in 1978 for the purpose of fostering inter-active dialogue and joint projects among distribution, exhibition and trade organizations. The Inter-Society Digital Cinema Forum (ISDCF) is a sub-group of the Inter-Society, providing the industry with a forum where issues related to launch of digital cinema can be discussed. More information on these organizations can be found at Inter-Society and ISDCF. ISDCF has released important information related to the development of digital cinema, the most important of which we post here for wide dissemination. While some of these doucments may appear dated, they are the most current version available. Upgrade Schedule To Meet SMPTE Distribution StandardsThis is the only document that explains the "Transitional 3" upgrade. Please note that the dates in this schedule are a year early. Transitional 3 is now scheduled for April 2009. InteropRoadmap20070716.pdfKDM Distribution and the Cinema Control Message - early draftsThe documents below capture early thinking towards managing KDM distribution, including the use of the Cinema Control Message, or CCM. The CCM is not about control, as the name may imply. Instead, it is a message type for carrying payloads such as KDMs (Key Delivery Messages), FLMs (Facility List Messages), and logs. Ideas are presented for using the CCM with a web services framework and with SMTP. These documents are a snapshot of work-in-discussion, and posted here to inform the many developers of digital cinema systems of this effort. These topics move quickly, and may have advanced beyond what has been recorded in document form. Please contact ISDCF to participate in this work. SMTP feature set 0.1.pdfKDM Distribution Portal (draft v2).pdf Facility IdentifiersFacility Identifiers provide the mechanism for a unique ID for a theatre location that is managed by the theatre owner or designated representative. A use case would be inclusion in the SMPTE 430-7 Facility List Message (FLM). A more formal identifier than that in the document below will be registered with IANA by NATO and posted here when available. 2008-6-16 Facility Identifiers - NATO.pdfDigital Cinema Content Naming Convention v2.1The content name displayed by digital cinema servers can become confusing when trailers or other movie versions have the same name as the movie version to be shown. The Digital Cinema Naming Convention was created to address this problem. A web site exists at DigitalCinemaNamingConvention.com. Please note, however, that the file posted below is a newer version from that posted at the time of this writing on the web site. DigitalCinemaNamingConventionV2-1.pdf |
