Summary0001083: Add crop area
Description

In some theatres image projections out of screen area, and as result - subtitles are projected out of visible area.
At the moment problem's decision is the remastering of master-image with reducing visible area, which is long and tiresome.

When image needs to be cropped in an installation for some obscure reason, or for example in a flat venue where heads will hide the lower part of the screen, some systems (at least Barco projectors) allow to add an offset to the subtitles to ensure readability. It's an installation configuration and not DCP dependent.

I don't know about Barco, but Christie 2220/30 projections as is. It doesn't know, how far image hiding lower and/or upper part of screen. That's why I need in some cases consider potential crop area

This goes towards creating screen specific DCPs. Not a good idea. This issue needs to be resolved through the projector installation, not the DCP.

You may add screen specific notes to the cinema database, covering such issues, and then you may create a VF with upshifted subs.

Having a generic crop/masking option in DOM will make scaling, aspect ratio and container choices even more complicated.
