CinemaDNG is the result of an Adobe-led initiative to define an industry-wide open file format for digital cinema files.〔Adobe Press Release: (Adobe Starts Initiative to Develop Open Format for Digital Cinema Files )〕 CinemaDNG caters for sets of movie clips, each of which is a sequence of raw video images, accompanied by audio and metadata. CinemaDNG supports stereoscopic cameras and multiple audio channels. CinemaDNG specifies directory structures containing one or more video clips, and specifies requirements and constraints for the open format files, (DNG, TIFF, XMP, and/or MXF), within those directories, that contain the content of those clips.〔Adobe Labs: (CinemaDNG - Image Data Format Specification (Version 1.0.0.0) ) (PDF)〕 CinemaDNG is different from the Adobe DNG (Digital Negative) format that is primarily used as a raw image format for still cameras. However, each CinemaDNG image is encoded using that DNG image format. The image stream can then be stored in one of two formats: either as video essence using frame-based wrapping in an MXF file, or as a sequence of DNG image files in a specified file directory. Each clip uses just one of these formats, but the set of clips in a movie may use both. ==Rationale== The purpose of CinemaDNG is to streamline workflows and help ensure easy archiving and exchange. There are several advantages from using raw image data for cinema, just as there are for still photography, but like the latter the presence of proprietary raw formats can inhibit the required integration. Movie development typically involves complicated workflows involving many stages and multiple suppliers of software and hardware components.〔Adobe Labs: (CinemaDNG Workflow - Using the CinemaDNG File Format in Cinema Workflows ) (PDF)〕 All of these indicate the desirability of using open formats. The ability to store images either within an MXF wrapper or as a DNG-sequence, with the ability to transfer from one to the other, provides extra flexibility. An additional benefit of using DNG is that there can be interchange between a CinemaDNG workflow and a still camera workflow.〔 One use is to extract stills from a movie for publicity or other purposes. The DNG images that Adobe provided in the short example of how to store a video clip as a sequence of DNG files,〔Adobe Labs Downloads: (CinemaDNG )〕 (see "Tangible deliverables"), were taken with a Canon EOS 30D dSLR camera, (and converted to DNG), rather than with a more conventional movie camera. This shows how any boundaries between different types of photography are weak, and illustrates why such open formats are important for the workflows of the future. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CinemaDNG」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
