Dummy sub Files

Currently this is needed for SMPTE DCP (like in IMF) and there is no documented practice –  currently we are doing a single “offscreen” sub. Items for discussion:

Format will need to be decided

Testing will need to be done (Plugfest)

ISDCF Doc will need to be written

Push written ISDCF Doc to 21DC

Incorporate into 429-2 or RDD52 revision or separate doc?

===

SMPTE-DCP

Move B2.1 as a reference document in ISDCF?

Clairmeta DCP Quality Assurance Report

===

The restart? 

Content Test material: ISDCF test content (encrypted)

===

Terminology Document?

One of the topics that would be interesting to consider in the ISDCF document list is “Terminology”. It should include primarily all new terms and descriptions related to the latest evolution of the industry in which ISDCF is involved.
