CineCert’s John Hurst, co-chair of SMPTE 21DC, kicked off an
update of the technology committee’s work by reporting that the bulk of DCI
standards have now been published but this current platform is “just beginning
of what is possible” in cinema.
MKPE Consulting’s founder Michael Karagosian—who co-chairs
21DC’s HFR study group with Kommer Kleijn and David Stump—said the group is
focusing on HFR mastering and distribution through exhibition.
He reported that 428-7 is a subtitling spec that the group aims
to finalize for 3D applications—though it is not clear how HFR subtitles will
be accomplished. Karagosian added that the The Hobbit (which opens Dec. 14) is
not expected to offer subtitles on its HFR versions.
The study group is also planning a shoot to create HFR test
material, which would be made available to all vendors to test developing HFR
technology for production, postproduction and exhibition.
Director of photography David Stump is creating a shot list
for this production.
