San Francisco, August 22, 2017: Motion Pictures Laboratories, Inc. (MovieLabs), the technology consortium representing Hollywood studios, has published a white paper entitled: “Industry Rallies Around the Digital Supply Chain Automation”. The white paper examines the concerted effort from studios, retailers, service providers and industry consortiums to create a collection of specifications that can transform the supply chain into a tool for delivering the best possible user experience efficiently and inexpensively across many devices in as many markets as possible. The white paper is aimed at CTOs of digital platforms and broadcasters around the world.
Kip Welch, Vice President Business Development, MovieLabs, said: “Making digital distribution less expensive, more scalable, and more profitable is a major goal of MovieLabs.
