[Frameworks] film to digi exhibition - its already happening

[Pip Chodorov]

This is generally a DCP (Digital Cinema Package) containing JPEG 2000 
files, 5.1 soundtrack files and subtitle files organized into folders 
along with data files in XML format. It generally resembles the file 
structure of a DVD, but can be encoded in 2K or 4K. The cinemas use 
Adobe or Doremi severs, and they have to ingest the files into their 
server before screening. This can take up to the real time of the 
film.
Information about the file structure and the software used to create 
it can be found on the wiki page
