Identification and description

Relationship to other formats
Full name	JPEG 2000 jp2 file format with profile 3 encoding
Description	JPEG 2000 core (part 1) wrapper containing encoded data that conforms to Profile 3. In this preliminary description, the compiler notes that this combination may be hypothetical: in the digital cinema application for which profile 3 was developed, the critical wrapper is the MXF Generic Container (MXF_GC). Within MXF_GC, the JPEG 2000 codestream may or may not also be wrapped in JP2_FF format.
Production phase	Final-state content distribution by those who follow the Digital Cinema Initiative DCP_1_0 specification.
Subtype of	JP2_FF, JPEG 2000 Part 1 (Core) jp2 File Format
Contains	J2K_C_Profile_3, JPEG 2000 Part 1, Core Coding, Profile 3
