License: The License is used to activate the purchased modules on a specific
hardware server.
Server Certificate: Each DCP render (referred in the industry as an “Instance”) using
encryption or decryption has an individual server certificate. This certificate is required
to be able to receive Key Delivery Messages (KDMs), which unlock encrypted DCPs.
Signer Certificate: A Signer Certificate is used to sign certain files within a DCP
package and/or Key Delivery Message (KDM) to verify which authority generated the
DCP instance.
Importing Your Server Certificate Set
Once generated and downloaded to your DaVinci Resolve server, the Server Certificate Set
needs to be imported into DaVinci Resolve.
To import your server certificate:
1 Choose File > easyDCP > Import License and Certificates.
2 Use the Import Server Certificate dialog to select the file, enter your Certificate Set
password, then click Import.
3 To verify your easyDCP license and the Server Certificates, choose easyDCP >
AbouteasyDCP.
From this point onward, you can use the controls from within the Settings window, the Deliver
page, and the File menu to master and play DCPs.
Limitations of the Demo Version of easyDCP
The demo version of the DCP encoder embeds visible DaVinci Resolve and easyDCP
logo watermarks in the rendered Digital Cinema Package (DCP) images. The demo
version does not include encryption so these DCPs can be used for screening in a
digital equipped cinema. The demo version of the DCP playback module will play
15seconds in full quality. After that playback quality reduces drastically. Furthermore,
audio won’t be rendered after 15 seconds of playback.
