Digital Cinema Delivery Tool

The digital cinema delivery tool is the recommended way to create

DCPs or an intermediate state towards one. Its usage is most conve-

nient because it will lead you step by step through the different config-

urations required to create a DCP.

This chapter explains the digital cinema delivery tool in detail. First, it

will be described how to get the delivery tool started, followed by an

overview of its user interface. After this the individual configuration

steps will be described.

Because some of the configuration steps are not required for certain de-

livery types, the section where you have to select the delivery type will

also summarize the steps that are necessary for a delivery type. Subse-

quently all available configuration steps will be described (e.g. as they

have to be specified when creating an encrypted DCP).

Once you are through with the steps/screens of the digital cinema de-

livery tool, the chosen delivery type can be created. This chapter will be

concluded with a description of the resulting output.
