Author Topic: ECA Technical Delivery Handbook Jason Metcalfe Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Austin, TX, U.S. Registered: May 2010 posted 01-23-2015 06:55 PM                     Especially you folks across the pond, any familiarity with the ECA or this handbook? Looks like it's being led by distributors and cinema owners, I don't see what they're offering that DCI doesn't unless it's just the European answer to DCI. I'm very curious about what's in this "handbook" Forgot to include the link Edit: I guess this focuses more on live event deliverables than features, still, can anyone vouch for this association?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-24-2015 08:45 AM                     It's a practical guide on how to use, among other techniques, DCI systems. As such, it is not intended as a 'competitor' to DCI or 'an answer to DCI'. DCI/SMPTE has a very limited scope on technical equipment characteristics. It doesn't deal with 'best practices' type of guides, e.g. alternative content. So, as the Digital Cinema Naming Convention, the ISDCF and EDCF guides, the NATO Digital Cinema System Requeirements, etc. the ECA handbook complements DCI/SMPTE standards. ECA covers a rather small, but growing segment of the overall cinema market: http://www.eventcinemaassociation.org/event-cinema.html - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
