Adobe Rolls Out Cinema DNG

Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) on Monday announced what it hopes will become a new industry standard for digital cinema files, CinemaDNG, in Las Vegas at the National Association of Broadcasters Show. Defining an industry-wide open file format will streamline workflows and serve to ensure easy archiving and exchange for video editing professionals, according to Adobe. The prospective standard is based on Adobe’s Digital Negative (DNG) format for raw digital still images.

Joining Adobe in the initiative are camera manufacturers, including Panavision, Silicon Imaging, Dalsa, Weisscam and ARRI, as well as software vendors Iridas and The Foundry. CineForm, a codec provider, rounds out the partnerships, all of which will work to define the requirements for the open standard, which will be available to manufacturers at no charge.

“To ensure broad adoption, CinemaDNG will be a product of open discussions with manufacturers and customers throughout the industry. We also expect this collaboration to speed adoption,” said Michael Coleman, product manager for after effects at Adobe.
