‘Interoperable Master Format’ Aims to Take Industry Into a File-based World
Written by Carolyn Giardina
Industry professionals are well aware of the celebrated Digital Cinema Initiatives, or DCI, a joint venture of Disney, Fox, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal and Warner Bros. Studios.
