DCP software

Recommended Posts

One of the fastest software for DCP FinalDCP http://www.innovative-pixel.de/shop/finaldcp/
but the qualitative results can be achieved using EasyDCP Creator https://www.easydcp.com/product.php?id=1.

And there are turnkey systems (Hardware+software solution)

This is the paid solution, but you can use free software

OpenDCP https://www.opendcp.org/

You don't need Tornado for creating a DCP - this is only for high throughput orchestrated use.

For creating and authoring DCPs you can use Marquise Technologies MIST:

Other than that, there's other commercial softwares (cheaper), such as Fraunhofer EasyDCP, Wraptor, FinalDCP.

On the freeware-side: I don't like OpenDCP, as it has not been doing a great job for me - gamma-wise and also metadata-wise.

When you check an OpenDCP-created DCP with a validation tool (like MIST), you'll see that it produces lots of metadata errors.

I can recommend DCP Creator on the freeware side: www.terminal-entry.de.

There's also DCP-builder and DCP-o-matic.

Plus, here's tutorial on SCRATCH, where you can do a very controlled gamma / color space transform in SCRATCH,

plus do the jpeg2000 encoding there, so in the end you just need to re-wrap your content to MXF/DCP,

but not encode it a second time:

This workflow should also work with any other grading package - principle is the same.
