Digital Cinema Delivery Tool
Once these files are available, you have successfully created a compli-
ant Digital Cinema Package (DCP) with the DVS software that is ready
for distribution.
CPL_*.xml The Composition Playlist specifying the se-
quence of the track files and thus the order of
the play-out. Contains hash values of the DCP’s
track files, certificates and a signature for veri-
fication purposes as well.
ASSETMAP The Asset Map details the content of the deliv-
ered DCP and the paths to its files relative to
the Asset Map. It can be loaded by D-Cinema
players which use it to reconstruct the track
files.
PKL_*.xml Packing List containing information and IDs
about the files of a DCP. Thus it allows for asset
management of the delivered DCP. Contains
hash values of most of the DCP’s files, certifi-
cates and a signature for verification purposes
as well.
VOLINDEX The Volume Index is used to map the assets of
a DCP when they are stored across several stor-
age volumes (e.g. if the DCP is larger than a
single storage medium). The creation of a
multi-volume distribution is currently not sup-
ported.
KDM_*.xml Key Delivery Message containing the encrypt-
ed key for the content as well as certificates and
a signature for verification purposes. One for
each playback system (D-Cinema player).
KDM_self_*.xml Key Delivery Message for a DVS DCI Mastering
system. The self KDM is not intended for D-Cin-
ema players and should only be used to admin-
ister the DCP on site (e.g. for quality checks).
This file is essential to create new KDMs or load
an encrypted DCP (see chapter “Using the
DCP and Self KDM” on page 4-1).
