DCP Supplemental

What is an optional package?
Supplemental — an additional package to DCP, which allows you to add or replace an audio track, add subtitles or ad units.

When distributors release a film in several languages, they use additional DCP packages. The same DCP is played in three languages — it saves time and resources for recoding and transporting heavy files.

Make an additional package (with the main DCP) — faster and cheaper.

How to prepare video for DCP

Technical details
Film in production

If the film is in production, then follow the recommendations:
  • for the Flat format (porridge) — 1998×1080, 24 frames per second;
  • for the Scope format (wide) — 2048×858, 24 frames per second.
We recommend exporting files in two formats:
  • codec — ProRes;
  • container — MOV;
  • bitrate — from 50 m / bit (for 4K - 150 m / bit);
or
  • codec — h.264 or h.265;
  • container — MP4;
  • bitrate — from 50 m / bit (for 4K - 200 m / bit).
Preferred audio codecs are PCM (wav) or AC3.
The film is ready

DCP requirement — 24 frames per second. If your film has a frequency of 25 frames per second, then it must be converted to 24 frames.

  • Method 1: conversion of 25 fps frames to 24 fps with loss of quality due to frame deletion. The sound remains unchanged.
  • Method 2: conversion with preservation of all frames, but with a frequency of 24 frames per second. The timing of the video is increased by 4%, while maintaining the quality of the film. The sound is synchronized without changing the pitch.
The film is ready in 1920x1080

If the film is ready, calculated in 1920x1080 resolution (or in another) and there is no possibility to edit, then there are two options:

  • Option 1: mechanically stretch the image and crop around the edges;
  • Option 2: leave the original size. In the latter case, in the FLAT version, small black fields will remain on the left and right sides (this will not be noticeable in the cinema hall). The fields for the SCOPE format will be slightly larger.
Adapting non-standard files
We adapt the film for display in the cinema, even if the source file does not meet the technical requirements.
