Introduction
This is a step-by-step guide for converting a video to a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) which we can play from our digital projection system. The main steps are:
- Log on to the WSCDCP account on 192.168.1.36. All necessary software is installed on this computer.
- Obtain the highest quality copy of the source video you can.
- Set up an appropriate sequence in Premiere Pro, based on the aspect ratio and frame rate of the source video.
- Export the soundtrack as a multi-channel WAV file, after volume correction in Soundbooth.
- Export the picture sequence as JPEG2000 files from Premiere Pro, after any necessary scaling, cropping and masking.
- Combine the sound and picture streams into a DCP using OpenDCP.
- Ingest the finished DCP and ensure it gets tested before use in a playlist. You will need a qualified projectionist to help with testing.
