The goal of ISDCF is to provide a forum to discuss issues for the World Wide launch of Digital Cinema. We have over 170 members participating including Studios, Exhibitors, Integrators, Equipment Manufacturers, Consultants, and other committees.

Our main method of work is through meetings - held about once a month in Los Angeles / Burbank. We encourage call-in participation. We have a reflector on yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ISDCF) and all are welcome to join. We post meeting notes, files, schedules in a private section of this site. (Private mainly to keep spiders and spamers at a distance. Send an email to ispassword@isdcf.com and it will auto-respond with the password.)

We have one active sub-group for KDM (Key Delivery Message). This is a more technical group focusing on the Key Delivery. It has another reflector (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ISDCF_KDM) for discussion.

Inter-Society is the organizing group
