6.1 Stereoscopic DCP
With the DCI Mastering feature you can also create a stereoscopic DCP
and thus material to be screened in 3D. This section explains the items
that are specifically available for a stereoscopic DCP and how to create
one.
6.1.1 Preparing a 3D DCP
The creation of a 3D/stereoscopic DCP has to be prepared same way
as described in chapter “Getting Started” on page 2-1. However, in-
stead of single tracks the content of your project must be available in
3D stereo tracks (see the “CLIPSTER 3D/Stereoscopy” supplement user
guide for further information about this).
This applies to subtitles as well: In order to have subtitles in 3D in the
DCP the subtitle timeline elements have to be placed in a 3D stereo
track instead of a single track. With this you will get in the timeline el-
ement properties of a subtitle timeline element for the Position set-
tings the Z position slider. It can be used to adjust the 3D effect of the
selected subtitle(s):

Apart from this subtitles in a 3D stereo track can be used same as the
standard subtitles in the Edit Tool (see section “Adding Subtitles” on
page 2-10 for further information).
Once your project is properly prepared, you can start the creation of the
DCP.
The general items available for working with 3D material are
not described in this manual. A description of them can be
found in the “CLIPSTER 3D/Stereoscopy” supplement user
guide accessible via the software’s online help. Please note that
for a DCI Mastering not all items described in the above men-
tioned manual may be available to you.
A stereoscopic DCP always starts with the left eye clip as the
first frame.
