Creation of a DCP 2398 PSFPosted by ditzydame
Hello,
I'm looking at trying to do a screening at the Lammle theater. The man who they are bringing in to do digital projections says that he needs a DCP 2398i Is that something I can do myself from my uncompressed 8 bit 1080 file? And what, if I can, would I need to output it as? Thanks Carole
I think he is alluding to 23.976fps video.
I googles your term DCP 2398 PSF and came up dry. Do you know what frame rate your video is in? ditzydame Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Hello, > > I'm looking at trying to do a screening at the > Lammle theater.

Now that I think of it, I think it's unlikely this has anything to do with the DCI spec. That spec mandates 24 frames per second exactly, not 23.976. Anything that's 23.976 would be incompatible with the DCI specification.
So I take it back. I have absolutely no idea what we're talking about here. Sorry.
No - I mean the person who is giving you the specs isn't giving you accurate tech-talk to work with. You could certainly try the Creative Cow or 2-Pop forums, but these are not terms that any of us have ever heard, so it's likely to be bad information to begin with.
It's like they are saying 'I want an animal. The one with legs on three and a half, with ears, that does that thing when it moves.'
I found one reference to that term - it could be they want a 'Digital Cinema Package'. According to the Wiki ...
"Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a joint venture of the six major studios, published a system specification for digital cinema.[1] Briefly, the specification calls for picture encoding using the ISO/IEC 15444-1 "JPEG2000" (.jp2) standard and use of the CIE XYZ color space at 12 bits per component encoded with a 2.6 gamma applied at projection, and audio using the "Broadcast Wave" (.wav) format at 24 bits and 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling, controlled by an XML-format Composition Playlist, into an MXF-compliant file at a maximum data rate of 250 Mbit/s. Details about encryption, key management, and logging are all discussed in the specification as are the minimum specifications for the projectors employed including the color gamut, the contrast ratio and the brightness of the image. While much of the specification codifies work that had already been ongoing in the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), the specification is important in establishing a content owner framework for the distribution and security of first-release motion picture content." If I were you, I would be contacting a post house that does this for a living.
