Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Good news for digi fans
by Livia Cseresova

Digi lovers have something big to look forward to! A group of companies from the media industry announced its plan to create a digital world. In that world, video devices and content websites will ‘live’ together absolutely harmonically, and also consumers will be able to securely store their digital content and access it whenever and wherever.

Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (or shortened simply DECE) is the name of the group of Hollywood studios, service providers, retailers as well as consumer electronics and information technology companies, which is now trying to form a uniform digital media experience. DECE is working hard but will not say any more details until January. In January, there will be the Consumer Electronics Show and more detailed information will be given about the project.

According to the president of the mentioned group, Mitch Singer, the plan is to call for interoperability of websites and devices and also usage of rules allowing consumers to copy content into household playback devices and to burn the content to physical media.

Singer said that providing customers a rights locker or a virtual library where consumers’ digital video buys would be stored for recovery in a similar way to accessing an email account is a part of the plan too.

A special unique logo will be designed for the group and put on products and websites, so the consumers will recognize immediately that the services and products are compatible with the standards of DECE.

Singer also said that they will “be developing a specification that services and device makers can license. They can use the logo to associate their device, knowing that when the consumer goes to buy the content, they know it will play.”
