Fuji Photo Film Co, Eastman Kodak, and Konica Minolta Photo Imaging announced the completion of a set of standards for the consumer imaging and electronics industries, setting a path to help ensure compatibility of digital photos and motion images on CDs, DVDs or other media with a broad range of consumer products.

- PASS Originating/Authoring System Requirements Specification. This
specification describes the capabilities needed by a system that creates PASS discs. - PASS Receiving/Playback System Requirements Specification. This specification describes the capabilities needed.
