Cinema composition and screening records for AI
Two digital cinema compositions can have the same public title and different audio or subtitle versions.
NAICS 512131 · Motion Picture Theaters (except Drive-Ins)
Two digital cinema compositions can have the same public title and different audio or subtitle versions. Digital Cinema Initiatives documents composition and packaging concepts. A theater can test whether an assistant matches a practice booking to the intended composition without sharing a film or system access. Digital Cinema Initiatives specification
Invent two titles and two composition variants. Give one booking a language and accessibility requirement, plus a matching mock inventory record. Give another an asset with a similar name but the wrong track. Ask what the records support and what an authorized operator must confirm.
Do not include actual films, keys, credentials, screen schedules, supplier terms or customer data. Use independently written records and nonvalid identifiers. The model does not control playback.
Describe a screening records test
Original Fiund exercise
A matching public title can conceal the wrong track version
Nonvalid composition identifiers and invented booking records describe a fictional film. No media, keys, playback control or actual screen schedule is supplied.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| CI1 | Practice booking | Title Lantern; requested audio language L1 and caption variant C2. |
| CI2 | Dummy composition inventory | COMP-A: Lantern, L1/C1. COMP-B: Lantern, L1/C2. |
| CI3 | Playlist record | Proposed playlist references COMP-A. Inventory confirms COMP-B present, but no authorized playlist amendment recorded. |
Question for the model
Which composition matches the booking metadata, and does its inventory presence establish that the proposed playlist uses it?
Show the reference answer and checks
CI1 and CI2 identify COMP-B as matching both L1 audio and C2 captions. COMP-A matches the title and language but has C1 captions. CI3's proposed playlist still names COMP-A; COMP-B's presence in inventory does not amend that reference. Flag the playlist-to-booking mismatch for an authorized operator rather than claiming the correct composition is selected or controlling playback.
- Matching on title and audio language while dropping the caption variant.
- Treating an available composition as the one referenced in the playlist.
Fields to preserve
- Composition ID and track variants
- Disambiguates packages sharing a title.
- Booking requirements
- Defines the intended metadata match.
- Inventory versus playlist reference
- Separates availability from selection.
Test another case
Add COMP-C with C2 captions but language L2. Require the model to check both dimensions instead of selecting whichever record contains C2.
Use independent records and dummy IDs. Exclude films, keys, credentials, supplier terms, real screening schedules and customer data.
