Using the DCP and Self KDM
The extra files of the DCP (in *.xml format) will be displayed in the
dialog window.
Select the CPL of the DCP that you want to load and open it with
the DVS software by clicking the button OPEN.
This will check the CPL if the DCP contains encrypted content. When
this is the case, the DVS software will search for an appropriate KDM
for the DCP (i.e. the self KDM) in the directory level of the extra files of
the DCP. If none can be found, a dialog window for the selection of a
file will appear, asking you for the location of the file. Once the KDM
has been found and/or loaded, the content of the DCP will be opened
in the Edit Tool and you will see it in the timeline.
Afterwards you can use the DCP, for example, to play out the timeline
and review the content of the DCP for quality checks.
A loaded CPL is not a DVS project file. Therefore, certain set-
tings may not be configured correctly and you may have to set
them again.
A loaded DCP can be saved as a project file. This way you can
work on an already finished DCP and save your work’s prog-
ress, e.g. when modifying it.
If you want to view the DCP on an XYZ projector, you have to
deactivate the automatic color conversion from X’Y’Z’ to RGB
of the DVS software. For this you have to alter the color spaces
of the clips in the bin of the Edit Tool and set them to RGB. For
further hints about how to do this see section “The Steps to
Prepare a DCDM” on page 2-7.
