Using the DCP and Self KDM
5.1 Configurations for a Self KDM
The necessary configurations to create a self KDM have to be made
during the creation of the DCP (see chapter “Creating the DCP” on
page 4-1 for further details):
When these settings are made, the self KDM will be created during the
finalizing of the DCP. It will be stored at the same location as the other
files of the DCP with the file name KDM_self_<ID>.xml. This file can
then be used to load an encrypted DCP in CLIPSTER, for example, to
check its contents.
1. During the preparations for the DCP’s creation some general set-
tings have to be made in the Configuration Tool of CLIPSTER (tab
Defaults » group DCI, see also section “Configurations” on
page 4-3): In the field Certificate of the area Self KDM you have
to enter the path to the file (*.cer or *.pem) that holds the
public key of the CLIPSTER where the DCP should be loaded.
Figure 5-1: Setting the public key for a CLIPSTER DCI Mastering system
This public key file can be found either already stored in the in-
stallation directory of the CLIPSTER software or on a separate
CD-ROM.
Because the settings on the Defaults tab are general settings of
the CLIPSTER software, they will be set and available for each ini-
tialized new project. This way you do not have to configure the
path to the public key file of the respective CLIPSTER again when
creating other DCPs in the future.
2. When setting up the creation of the KDMs in the finalize dialog
(button KEY…), you have to activate the creation of the self
KDM. In the dialog for the KDMs enable the check box Create a
KDM for current Clipster (see also section “Finalize Settings –
KDM” on page 4-10).
Figure 5-2: Activating the creation of the self KDM
The described procedure to create a self KDM is available for
convenience reason: You have to set it only once and its gen-
eration can be turned on or off via a check box. A self KDM is
just another KDM, only that it is made for a CLIPSTER DCI
Mastering system. If wanted, you may create a self KDM the
same way the other KDMs are generated.
