“…The color gamut is determined by the dyes in the film, and restricted to much less than all the colors visible to the human eye (the film gamut is roughly the same as television's). Film is visually better than television, even HDTV [4], in some respects (e.g, contrast ratio and chroma information), but much less than what d-cinema could be. Movies are made with technology that long ago nearly reached to its peak.…”

Film has been used for movies for over 100 years. D-cinema will soon produce images that equal or surpass film. When that happens, movies will take their basis from computer technology, leading to higher quality, lower cost, and greater flexibility for all aspects of the industry. For example, d-cinema will allow higher frame rates, flexible subtitles, alternative content, and resolutions and color spaces beyond film. Given these opportunities, we must not simply emulate the mechanical past. Insisting, for instance, on a single type of compression or security scheme is misguided. Both these areas are evolving, and we should take advantage of that evolution, while promoting standards that allow that evolution to happen in an orderly way. Mechanical projectors can play back only one kind of film; computer servers can play back any number of formats. It would be wrong to select a single format at this time, only to have the technology become more capable in the near future. We must allow the continuously evolving technology that characterizes computers, not the frozen technology that has characterized mechanical systems. We must work toward an environment that allows interoperability of d-cinema technologies-not systems that limit us to a single technology.

“…High Definition Television (HDTV) has been hailed as the world's most significant new technology, stirring a transformation of markets for information and entertainment [2,23,69,72). The main objective of HDTV development is to provide a high quality widescreen image comparable to that of motion pictures [4,9,63,66]. An HDTV image has four times the luminance definition of the conventional NTSC images.…”
