What is a DCP?

Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is the digital negative of a film, in high quality and includes the picture, audio, subtitles, and auxiliary data elements. Each one of these elements follows strict specifications and standards during authoring to ensure that the final DCP is compatible with any cinema screen and DCP server around the world. 

DCP is the only digital solution that can achieve performance, reliability, and quality in screening compared to other file formats such as PRORES, MP4, or DVDs offering the same quality of image and sound across the world.

There is an option for encryption and easy delivery through the internet offering privacy, security and availability 24/7 around the globe.

Accessibility for disabled people is now available through DCP’s capability to deliver captions and video with signed language for hearing impaired people and audio description for visually impaired people.

Last but not least you can always re-version your film. New subtitles, new sound mixing, festival credits, or distribution credits can now easily be added, edited, or removed without the need to replace the original copy. Logistics are now easier.​
