Overview

The ultimate theatrical master.

A Digital Cinema Package is not just a wrapped video file. It requires precise matrix math to convert RGB pixels into the XYZ colour space used by cinema projectors, frame-accurate JPEG2000 encoding, and a strict folder structure that every digital cinema server in the world expects to see.

We build DCPs on enterprise-grade hardware encoders. We support 2K, 4K, high-frame-rate, 3D and immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos — encrypted with KDM where required, or unencrypted for festivals and review screenings.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does a DCP take to build?

Standard turnaround is 24–72 hours from source upload to QC-passed DCP. Rush turnaround available for festival deadlines.

What master files do you accept?

ProRes 4444, ProRes 422 HQ, DNxHR, DPX image sequences, EXR, MXF, MP4 H.264/H.265. Audio as WAV BWF, AIFF or embedded.

Do I need encryption?

Most festivals prefer unencrypted DCPs. Commercial theatrical releases usually require KDM encryption tied to each venue's projector certificate. We handle both.

Can you include subtitles?

Yes — open subtitles burned into the picture, or closed subtitles as separate CineCanvas XML tracks projected by the cinema server.
