Manual Creation of a DCP
 Next, you have to refine the compression type and set it according
to the DCP standard that the DCP should be created in (see section
“DCP Standards” on page 2-6):
– Either configure the JPEG2000 encoding options as described in
section “JPEG2000 Options” on page 6-9 or
– select MPEG2 VES (instead of 12 bit XYZ) as the file type to
create an MPEG compressed DCP. This can also be configured
further same way as the JPEG2000 options.
 Make sure that the hardware finalize support is activated.
 Use the settings items in the middle of the finalize dialog to specify
the video format. If not already set correctly adjust them to the for-
mat that the final DCP should provide (see also section “Possible
Formats for a DCI Mastering” on page 2-4).

With this the file and video format are set properly and you can contin-
ue the configuration of the finalizing by setting up the CPL (see section
“Finalize Settings – CPL” on page 5-9).
The available MPEG compression settings are the de-
fault ones. Explanations for them can be found, for ex-
ample, at http://www.mpeg.org.
