DCP-o-matic

Why do you need a separate 2k DCP?

What type of material is this?

If it lacks detail, colors, etc., it may come out a lot smaller. e.g. dark or black scenes compress very well. You should stay away from 250MBit/s. If your content has detail in 4k, actual 250MBit/s frames may crash some playback servers.

Depends on the J2K encoding bitrate you set under the DCP tab. You should probably set it to 200MBit/s for standard 4k/24fps content.

Can you show us a screenshot of your audio matrix under 'Content' -> 'Audio'?

You could also open audio analysis and show us a screenshot.

Sounds like file corruption. How did you transfer the DCP to the cinema?

Can you transfer it again? How large is it?


First of all, you should load your own original/copy of this DCP into DCP-o-matic player and perform a validation. That will make sure at least your 'master' is correct.

This cinema has an issue with their speakers. If your L/R levels are correct in DCP-o-matic's audio level graph, they the DCP is correct they probably have a technical issue. These issues are not rare, but are usually masked when playing mainstream 5.1 or 7.1 content. You could play a test DCP there...

Are you sure the KDM you received is actually targeted towards your own Barco ICMP or DCP-o-matic installation? KDMs are not universal keys - they only work on a specific device. You can not just copy it to another device and play the content with it. I also know that some countries have strange spe...

I don't think this has to do with the 23.9760 fps conversion. Pretty sure there is an issue in the source file.

Wondering wether DCP-o-matic would simply pass through z-axis parameters? Maybe one could add them externally.
