	About Digital Cinema Report
		Digital cinema faces several obstacles on the road to widespread implementation.
		For now, until the world "goes totally digital," we see the first step as helping exhibitors and the Hollywood community feel confident that their Digital Cinema projection can coexist next to their 35mm film projection system, and that they can conduct operations seamlessly with either system.
		HD should be the minimum digital cinema standard in a hierarchy of various technical capabilities....the main reason is cost and proximity to implementation.

	Lev Manovich \| Essays : What is Digital Cinema?
		Cinema's most basic gesture is to open the shutter and to start the film rolling, recording whatever happens to be in front of the lens.
		Cinema traditionally involved arranging physical reality to be filmed though the use of sets, models, art direction, cinematography, etc. Occasional manipulation of recorded film (for instance, through optical printing) was negligible compared to the extensive manipulation of reality in front of a camera.
		Cinema followed this principle as well: it replaced all other modes of narration with a sequential narrative, an assembly line of shots which appear on the screen one at a time.

	Digital Cinema
		Digital Cinema describes the use of movies with a digital data representation in best quality.
		In contrast to Electronic Cinema, which uses the digitization of the film for new commercialization pathes, Digital Cinema replaces only the film chain from the acquisition to the film theatres. Therefore Digital Cinema must achieve and surpass today's best film quality.
		Other requirements for Digital Cinema are the use of sequences with single frame files, synchronisation with audio or metadata descriptions for extended metadata sets.
