Digital Cinema Providers Group Announces Formation of New Trade Association

DCPG To Work With Allied Organizations To Assist Commercialization Of Digital Cinema
At ShoWest, digital cinema industry providers today announced the formation of a new digital cinema trade organization, the Digital Cinema Providers Group (DCPG), which has been created to provide a forum for digital cinema equipment and service providers to respond to market needs and concerns in order to promote the further commercialization of digital cinema.
 
Membership in DCPG will be comprised of entities that sell products, provide services or make technologies related to digital cinema. Charter members of DCPG include: Avica, BARCO, Christie Digital Systems, Dolby Laboratories, EVS Digital Cinema, NEC Viewtechnology/Digital Projection International, QuVIS, and Texas Instruments.
 
DCPG will work in conjunction with existing industry representative organizations such as Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) and the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO), and standards organizations such as SMPTE, to provide recommendations to enable a viable and sustainable commercial scale rollout of digital cinema technology. In addition, DCPG will establish mechanisms to inform, educate and advocate the benefits of digital cinema and its application to feature film production, distribution and exhibition.
 
Industry pioneer Curt Behlmer will serve as DCPG Executive Director, with members of the governing board to be announced soon. Additional organization resources, including DCPG materials and website, are currently being developed and will be available in the coming weeks.
 
"DCPG consists of a core group of digital cinema manufacturers dedicated to meeting the needs of all industry stakeholders and advancing digital cinema in a method that realizes long term viability," said Curt Behlmer. "By joining together key manufacturers, integrators and technology licensees, DCPG will address technology issues and suggest solutions that provide interoperability and a complete digital cinema system. We are excited about the opportunity to provide comprehensive and accurate information to educate the motion picture industry and consumers on the benefits and ongoing progress of digital cinema."
