Digital cinema began transitioning to digital formats in 1999 and by 2012, 80% of screens worldwide had converted. Digital offers several advantages over analog film formats, including easier distribution and ability to preserve content for longer. Digital cinema uses DCP files rather than film reels and digital projectors like DLP rather than traditional film projectors. It provides security including frame-by-frame encryption and requires KDM keys to play content, securing the distribution process.

Film Reel DCP(Digital Cinema
Package)

4. ANALOG
 Uses film camera.
 Good Color Spacing
 Less Secure.
 Can’t preserve for
long years.
 Distribution is
difficult.
DIGITAL
o Uses both film
camera and digital
camera.
o Similar color Spacing
that off analog.
o Highly Secure.
o Can preserve for long
years.
o Distribution is much
easier.

11. How Digital Cinema
works ?
►System Interoperability
►Broadcast Server Model
►Data Centric Model
►Security
►Theatre Operations
►Distribution Packaging

12. System Interoperability
 The DCP that created in QUBE
MASTER must work in DOREMI Server
which is situated in NEW YORK and
also in the same way a DCP created in
DOREMI Rapid Mastering Station must
work in a QUBE Server which is situated
in INDIA

13. Broadcast Server Model

14. Data Centric Model

15. QUBE Server

16. Security
 Conversion into D5 tapes take place at a
dedicated media centre with bio-metric access
control
 Civolution (Forensic Water Marking)
 License to play the film is given via Digital Video
Broadband Link onto the smart cards installed in
the servers
 Transfer of content from server to projector is
secured by means of a HDCP(High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) cable.
 192 bit AES encryption system encrypts the film,
frame by frame.

17. KDM(Key Delivery Message)

18. Theatre Operations
 Show Scheduling
 Show "Make-Up"
 Asset (Content) Management
 Show Logs
 Equipment Monitoring

19. Distribution Packaging
 MXF( Material eXchange Format)
 JPEG 2000
 MPEG-2
 Created DCP is stored in a HDD and it
is cased in a CRU drive.
