2.2.3 The Steps to Prepare JPEG2000 Data
JPEG2000 data that is already adapted for digital cinema will normally
be in the format of the final DCP in 12 bit X’Y’Z’. In so far it resembles
a DCDM and thus the steps to use such data for the creation of a DCP
are almost the same:
 Open a new project in the Edit Tool.
 With the button SETTINGS… of the timeline area configure the
timeline output settings so that they match the format of the
JPEG2000 data (normally the same as the final DCP format).
 Add the required clips (video as well as audio) to the bin, for exam-
ple, by dragging them to the contents area of the bin from a file
manager or by using the menu option Add clip… of the bin’s con-
text menu.
Afterwards the clips will be visible in the contents area of the bin and
they will be automatically set to the correct color space.
 Next, add the JPEG2000 clip(s) to the video track(s) of the timeline.
 Add the audio clip(s) to the audio tracks of the timeline.
 If necessary adapt the routing of the audio tracks that now contain
audio data so that they are suited for the DCP to be created (see
section “Possible Formats for a DCI Mastering” on page 2-4).
With this the clips have been added to the timeline of the Edit Tool and
they will be used for the creation of the DCP. You may now continue
the preparation as described later in this chapter (see section “Adding
Subtitles” on page 2-10 and/or section “Setting Reels” on page 2-18).
