Results of the Digital Cinema Survey

The results are presented in two different documents:

• Firstly, a "Survey Hightlights" have been created. These are a transcription of a very large selection of answers. Note that for the sake of conciseness this first part generally presents the answers that received the most answers only. Look at this document if you just want to have the "quick tour" on the survey results.

You will find this document here: Survey Hightlights.

• Secondly, you also have access to the full and detailed answer report. Note that personal comments from the respondants are only available in this document: Detailed answer report.

     It displays the following information:

• Section: specifies which of the three profiles – Distributor, Exhibitor, Post/Productor – we addressed.

• Question Number.

• Question: The fact that no question propositions appear means that it was an open question, answers then appear in the "Comments" column.

• Answer possibilities: Presents the different possibilities that were offered to choose. Answer possibilities that have not received any answer have often been omitted.

• Answer Qty: Presents the number of answers each specific answer proposition received. Note that the total number of answers is displayed for each question under a solid blue line. The whole total number of answers of the survey is displayed in that same column at the bottom of the document. 

• Answer Ratio.

• Answer average: Where applicable, it displays the average of the given questions, for some open questions.

• Comments.

      Note: Answers that stand out enough from the rest or seemed interesting for some reason within
      each question, have been highlighted in bold.

• Finally but more importantly, whether the number of answers make the results significant or not is in the eye of the beholder, and depends on the aim and context of their use. Either way, this is not a scientific survey and there are quite a few answers that are not significant, independently of the context or aim, and have to be referred to with precaution. However, it has been without a doubt a great opportunity for European cinema professionals to express their views, and each of them counts.
