The proposed standard — Media Entertainment Core Metadata — calls for all the basic information expected with digital content (titles, actors, etc.), along with individual encodes for audio, video and subtitle streams.
Besides EMA and DEG, the standard has been endorsed by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE), the cross-industry consortium behind UltraViolet, and the Entertainment Identifier Registry (EIDR), the unique identifier system that puts a digital tag on movies and TV programs.
The groups tapped Craig Seidel, VP of distribution technology for studio-funded tech research company MovieLabs, as the technical architect behind the standard.
