A digital cinema package is a digital version of the 35mm film print. The process converts analog films into digital films. DCP repackaging is important as it enables showcasing films on a digital platform. It configures the audio, video, and metadata for cinema servers. The digital cinema comes in a yellow or orange briefcase and features a manual, a drive, a power brick and cord, and a USB cable. The advantages of DCPs include:
Protection from Tamper
The heavy-duty DCP repackaging case protects the films from external damage. The manuals outline clear use to ensure a smooth running of the film when shown.
Ability to Update Easily
The compartmentalization of DCPs into audio, video, and metadata files makes updating or editing the file easy. One file can be customized in different ways. Configurable but detachable components create flexibility and ease of use.
Verifiability of Files
The security systems in DCPs ensure that it is modified only by authorized people. Blocking access to unauthorized personnel ensures no part of the film is left out or lost during the repackaging process.
Make it at Home
DCPs are more expensive than the original film because of the process of remaking. You can make a DCP using the tools available online. In addition to being a hobby, it can be a source of income.
Compatibility with PC and Mac
Initially, viewing a DCP film required a theatre with D-Cinema Server. However, some software now allows viewing the film on your computer.
