The DCS is proud to unveil our new and improved website.  Highlights include the DCS Illuminates Cinema Lighting portal, a comprehensive International Events Calendar, as well as a graphic refresh of the entire site with better organization of our vast archive of event and trade show coverage going back almost 20 years to the dawn of Digital Cinema.

DCS Illuminates:  Online Cinema Lighting Knowledge on Demand

The Digital Cinema Society already possessed a vast archive from our past Cinema Lighting Expos and workshops with scores of interviews and practical demos with world renowned cinematographers and other industry experts. We have added to this trove of high quality content with new custom demos and gear evaluations as well as curated content submitted by our supporters that we think will be of particular interest to lighting professionals.  Current featured content includes A Road Test of the Cineo ReFlex r15, a review of the Rotolight Titan with Roy Wagner, ASC, and an educational overview of the latest lighting control technology we call DMX for DP’s.  Other currently featured content includes Lighting Miniatures with Dedolight, Commercial Lighting Basics with ARRI’s Art Adams, and an exploration of the ROSCO RDX Lab System.  Take a tour of DCS Illuminates at: https://dcsonline.org/dcs-illuminates/
