Manual Creation of a DCP
Every state towards a DCP or the final DCP itself can also be created
manually by using the finalizing dialog of the DVS software. This way
to create digital cinema material is not as intuitive and forthcoming as
the digital cinema delivery tool (see chapter “Digital Cinema Delivery
Tool” on page 3-1), but it is to some extent more flexible regarding the
created output.
This section describes how to create digital cinema material manually
via finalizing(s), i.e. the following will be explained:
1. How to create a DCDM from a DSM, i.e. a sequence of TIFF
image files in 16 bit X’Y’Z’ (see also section “Digital Cinema Dis-
tribution Master (DCDM)” on page 2-3).
2. How to create JPEG2000 compressed data optimized for the digi-
tal cinema either from a DSM or DCDM, i.e. a sequence of
JPEG2000 files in 12 bit X’Y’Z’ (see also section “JPEG2000” on
page 2-3).
3. How to create a DCP either unencrypted (e.g. for trailers or adver-
tisements) or encrypted (e.g. for a feature film) from a DSM, a
DCDM or digital cinema compliant JPEG2000 data (see also sec-
tion “Digital Cinema Package (DCP)” on page 2-4).
Additionally, it will be described how to use the finalizing dialog to cre-
ate additional KDMs or to modify a DCP manually.
