[Frameworks] film to digi exhibition - its already happening

[mat fleming]

How does someone author a piece to be compatible with 2k or 4k d-cinema

Is it possible outside of post production houses - just a case of project
and export settings? Or is it a protected, propriety file format with a
matching exclusive price tag necessitating the use of particular post
houses?
