Digital Cinema : DVS Creates Facts

"The DI system CLIPSTER performs essential steps in the creation chain of a digital cinema movie, from the digital cinema distribution master (DCDM), over the digital cinema package (DCP) to encoding the data with the key delivery message (KDM).

In order to create a DCDM, post production houses require DI systems that finalize with a high performance. Ideally the data consist of 16 bit TIFF X’Y’Z’. CLIPSTER, DVS’ DI workstation, performs this process. Of course, CLIPSTER will also carry out the whole DCI mastering, then compressing the data in JPEG2000 in real time at this stage.

Together with audio tracks, subtitles and other metadata, these files are finalized as the DCP by bundling all source data as MXF files. CLIPSTER thus allows the delivery of the data package in the correct container format via satellite, messenger or server to its final destination."
