Welcome to ISDCF

The Inter-Society Digital Cinema Forum (ISDCF) discusses technical and deployment issues for theatrical digital cinema deployment. Digital cinema technology is our wheelhouse — DCP, KDM, FLM, TDL, drive formatting, FIPS-140, DCI, upgrade scheduling, 3D luminance, subtitles, captions, and the many other SMPTE specifications that keep digital cinema and audio running smoothly.

ISDCF holds meetings about every 6 weeks either hybrid or remote-only. Meetings are open to members and guests in good standing.

The ISDCF is a project of Inter-Society.

New website is upon us!

Our new website is online (as you will have noticed)!

The new site is entirely maintained on our GitHub repo (as opposed to WordPress) and is intended to ease maintenance and contributions.

We have not touched the naming convention part of the website, which we will work on as the next step. We have made every effort to preserve all critical information, but something might have fallen between the track, so do not hesitate to file an issue on our GitHub repo or email us.

A dedicated Inter-Society website has also been created.

Our old website will continue to live at https://old.isdcf.com for a little while longer.
