Using the DCP and Self KDM
4.2 Loading the DCP
After a DCP has been created it can be loaded with the DVS software.
Unencrypted DCPs can be loaded on every DVS system that provides
the DCI Mastering feature. Encrypted DCPs, however, require a self
KDM and can be loaded only on the system for which the self KDM has
been intended, i.e. on the DCI Mastering system that holds the com-
plementary key (private RSA key) to the public key that was entered in
the Configuration Tool (see section “Configurations for a Self KDM” on
page 4-2).
To load a DCP perform the following:
 In the DVS software open the dialog window to load a project
(Project » Open…).
 Switch to the directory where the DCP or, more explicitly, the CPL is
stored.
 Select as the file type to be displayed in the ’Load Project’ window
the setting Digital Cinema Composition Playlist
files (combo box Files of type):

When loading a DCP the DCP standard configured for the sys-
tem (see section “DCP Standards” on page 2-6) should be set
to the same that the DCP was created in. Otherwise you may
receive error messages.
