The DC-Post cinema server is a modification of the popular DCP-2K4, one of the industry’s first commercially available servers capable of playing JPEG2000 digital movies conforming to DCI specifications. The DC-Post contains all the features of Doremi’s standard digital cinema servers, but adds additional speed and functionality specifically suited for the postproduction workflow including:

  • Playback of high bit rate, visually lossless 400Mb/s digital cinema packages (DCPs)
  • Unpackaged JPEG2000 playback
  • Up to 200% speed playback (picture, sound and subtitles in sync) forward or backward
  • Individual 3D DCP eye stream playback (while rendering its subtitling)
  • Fixed latency playback and external sync

An exciting feature of the DC-Post is the ability to render, adjust and edit SMPTE subtitles (2D and 3D) on the fly. Each unit is shipped with a CPL Authoring tool that allows for font customization, color selection, timing, fades, and defining the Z position for 3D subtitles.

The DC-Post plays JPEG2000 and MPEG2 MXF files which brings an added layer of content security to the postproduction operation. It has a DVD-ROM and removable SATA ingest inputs as well as a gigabit Ethernet and USB ingest port for flexibility of how content is ingested from various sources.

Each DC-Post includes the CineLister software utility that provides easy scheduling and playlist administration. It can be networked to support playback from several theaters within the post house.

CineLister allows the operator to build and play composition playlists as well as full session playlists. Playlists can include both JPEG2000 and MPEG2 movie files and pre-show content files.

The graphic user interface simplifies the management of image files and creation of new image clips. CineLister’s extensive playlist creation capability can be used for on-line playback and play list scheduling.
