In ISDCF digital cinema naming the language field lists the audio language first and subtitle languages after it; upper case means the projector renders the subtitles and lower case means they are burned in; the same languages are mirrored in the CPL (MainSound and MainSubtitle Language, MainSubtitleLanguageList). Curator qualifications: Registry pages and Doc 7 read 2026-10-22; no DCP built or validated. XX/UND and caption marker (CCAP/OCAP/OPNCAP) rules from producer reading. Limitations: Registry pages and Doc 7 read 2026-10-22; no DCP built or validated. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
