Digital Cinema Initiatives pyytää digitaalisen elokuvan
laitteistovalmistajia (serverit ja projektorit) osallistumaan
Fraunhofer instituutin testiohjelmaan.
Serfioinnin puutetta on pidetty digitaalisen elokuvaesityksen
ongelmana. Fraunhofer instituutti on nyt valittu sertifiointien
tekijäksi. Sertifioinnilla todetaan "DCI-yhteensopivuus", joka takaa
Hollywood elokuvien saannin teattereille.
