dobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today
announced that it plans to lead an initiative to define an industry-wide open file format for digital cinema files to
streamline workflows and help ensure easy archiving and exchange. Adobe intends to leverage its successful Digital
Negative Specification (DNG) file format as a foundation, and Adobe plans to work with a broad coalition of leading
camera manufacturers, including Panavision, Silicon Imaging, Dalsa, Weisscam, and ARRI—along with software
vendors, including Iridas and The Foundry, and codec provider CineForm—to define the requirements for an open,
publicly documented file format that it plans to call CinemaDNG.

Adobe and open? Open means closed in Adobe's dictionary. Adobe's own products always get better results and more options than products of other vendors.
