The EDCine project is focussing on the optimisation, enhancement and interoperability issues of JPEG 2000 based Digital Cinema.

EDCine will optimise and improve the DCI specifications in quality, robustness to transmission errors, content security, stereoscopic imaging, live events and transcoding for digital archiving and interactive access on various devices. All optimisations will be validated through subjective evaluations with real users in real theatres.

Lots of publications were edited by the EDCINE partners that explain our new technogical developments.
