About Us

In the Fraunhofer Alliance DIGITAL CINEMA four institutes are working together to develop key components for a complete digital cinema workflow and for multi-format and multi-platform content creation and distribution. The institutes offer research and development in the areas of production (camera and storage), audio systems, data compression, post processing, transmission, projection, distribution and digital archiving.

As an one-stop competence center for digital cinema we provide for our customers scientific know-how and the development of solutions that can be integrated in workflows and optimize process steps.

The members of the Digital Cinema Network are actively working in reputated organizations and bodies like International Standardization Organization ISO, ISDCF (Inter-Society Digital Cinema Forum), SMPTE (Society for Motion Picture and Television Engineers), FKTG (German Society for Broadcast and Motion Picture), and in the EDCF (European Digital Cinema Forum). These contributions enable research and development activities based on international standards.
