Manual Creation of a DCP
5.3 Creating a DCP Manually
This section describes how to create a DCP either unencrypted (e.g. for
trailers or advertisements) or encrypted (e.g. for a feature film) from a
DSM, a DCDM or digital cinema compliant JPEG2000 data. For further
information about this see section “Digital Cinema Package (DCP)” on
page 2-4:
To create a DCP the source data has to be prepared first as described in
chapter “Getting Started” on page 2-1, i.e. it has to be prepared and
reels, subtitles as well as the general configurations have to be set. Af-
terwards the finalizing has to be configured and as the final step the
project has to be rendered which will result in the final DCP. These last
two steps are described in this section.
5.3.1 Finalize Settings – Naming and Storage Options
With the project properly prepared for the creation of the DCP (see
chapter “Getting Started” on page 2-1) you can begin to set up the
DCP finalizing:
 Call up the finalize dialog of the DVS software (menu Project »
Finalize…).
 Next choose a name and storage location for the finalized files
according to your project’s needs. To set the file name(s) you can
also use a variable naming with the button NAME OPTIONS….
Figure 5-8: File name and storage location
With this the file naming and storage location are determined. Next you
have to continue with section “Finalize Settings – File and Video For-
mat” on page 5-7 and set the video format for the DCP.
5.3.2 Finalize Settings – File and Video Format
In this step you have to configure the file and video format of the DCP:
 If not already set select DC MXF as the file format.
This will automatically set the file type to 12 bit XYZ and the audio
file format to DC MXF.
