I guess this should cover your question:

The trouble is - you are not able to use any special IMAX laser features (dual projector, 12ch audio), without the DCP going through IMAX own (expensive) mastering. You can play plain vanilla flat/HD/scope DCPs through a single IMAX projector, but that's it for the D.I.Y approach. DCPs enabling IMAX special features need to be signed with a special IMAX certificate that you can't spoof.

Carsten I know but there is actually a way to spoof it. I need a 1.43:1 IMAX trailer to have the process complete. Recent could be Lightyear or Eternals, etc. Carsten do you have an 1.43:1 IMAX DCP? You can share.

What makes you think you can spoof a certificate? From what I know about the IMAX Laser anamorphic, it is very unlikely that they have common trailers in 1.43 AR.
They certainly have a few IMAX brand logo snipes etc., but I have no ways to access one. You probably need to find an actual IMAX laser projectionist.

I do see the occasional IMAX laser trailer for mainstream movies on our trailer download portal, but they are all plain flat or scope, as far as I can see. 1:43 AR DCPs will probably only be distributed by IMAX themselves through their company network.

Im talking there is a way for both projectors to work, there simply Is. And I have been working with it on IMAX 2.39:1 and 1.90:1. Flat (In IMAX Flat means 1.90:1) and Scope DCPs are the only kinds IMAX makes. And all IMAX trailers are distributed by IMAX. But Trailers are promotional Material. All the IMAX trailers you see shared are by projectionist themselfs, heck there is an Explicit NAS with the name of the chain that people access and has IMAX DCPs, but as their IMAXs are 1.90:1, IMAX only sends them 1.90:1 trailers. I was talking with someone that has access to an 1.43:1 IMAX, a projectionist. He could easily share a single 1.43:1 Trailer, but says he can't. I think he is exagerating the risk (none existent since trailers are promotional material, and as i told you about the NAS you can come to conclussions, if IMAX dont bother with that with him that is annonymous... You get it). I just need a 1.43:1 trailer to decipher and that is it and will share the findings with you about all three. Just have 2.39:1 and 1.90:1, need 1.43:1. Please.
