Using the DCP and Self KDM

The option Automatically set DC reels… sets virtual DC reels for the

timeline which will include only the changed material. For the example

timeline shown in figure 4-4 on page 4-8 this would mean reels like the

following:

Figure 4-6: Reels to be created

Our example (see figure 4-4 on page 4-8) would create two reels for

video and a whole new set of reels for audio and subtitles. The remain-

ing video data (parts in light grey in the figure above) would not be

generated anew. During the creation process they can be either copied

to the supplemental DCP or left in the master DCP. With the latter the

new CPL of the supplemental DCP will reference to them. Please note

that the total amount of reels increases when using automatically set

DC reels.

When using the option Currently set DC reels, the reels as currently

configured for the DCP in the timeline will be used. If not manually ad-

justed by you in the meantime, they will be set to the reel settings of

the master DCP. By configuring the DC reels in the timeline manually

prior to creating a supplemental DCP, you can achieve reels according

to your needs.

According to SMPTE a reel must have a duration of at least one

second.

Some digital cinema players may be unable to display reels that

are shorter than 5 seconds.

For further information about DC reels see section “Setting

Reels” on page 2-18.
