3.4 The Generated Files
The generation of the digital cinema content initiates a standard final-
izing process that will create the content according to your settings. The
output of the intermediate steps for a DCDM or JPEG2000 files will be
as described in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide.
When creating a DCP, the finalizing generates the video files as well as
the audio data according to your settings (e.g. the chosen DCP stan-
dard, see section “DCP Standards” on page 2-6) and afterwards wraps
them in separate MXF containers. If reels were set in the timeline, you
will receive for each reel one MXF file per output format (video and/or
audio).
For a DCP in SMPTE Phase 0 or 1 the specified subtitle files for the reels
will be sorted into subfolders. For a SMPTE DCP (SMPTE Phase 2) they
will be wrapped in MXF containers as well. Additionally, the CPL, the
KDM(s), a PKL, an Asset Map file, as well as a Volume Index file are cre-
ated.
For a SMPTE DCP you can expect the following output:

files), i.e. for each reel one video and one audio
file. Additionally, if subtitles have been speci-
fied, they will be wrapped in MXF as well, i.e.
for each reel one MXF file per subtitle track
(generated only if subtitles were present in the
reel/subtitle track).
