[qodef_dropcaps type=”circle” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#b2dd4c”]1[/qodef_dropcaps]A film can be uploaded through the form as a HD file in one of the following formats:

 

  • .mpg,
  • .mp4,
  • .mkv,
  • .mov.

 

If your film is in another format, please contact us beforehand to discuss possible solutions.

[qodef_dropcaps type=”circle” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#b2dd4c”]2[/qodef_dropcaps]If your file is large, the upload procedure takes more time. Please be patient  until uploading is complete.

[qodef_dropcaps type=”circle” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#b2dd4c”]3[/qodef_dropcaps]If you upload a video file that is longer than five (5) minutes, additional costs apply.  Please see our pricing list for more information.

[qodef_dropcaps type=”circle” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#b2dd4c”]6[/qodef_dropcaps]If you are in a hurry, select RUSH and your DCP will be delivered in 24 hours. Otherwise choose STANDARD and your DCP will be ready in 4-7 days.

 

[qodef_dropcaps type=”circle” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#b2dd4c”]7[/qodef_dropcaps]While newer Digital Cinema servers are capable of playing back films at many different frame rates, the vast majority of servers can only play content reliably at 24 fps.

 

[qodef_dropcaps type=”circle” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#b2dd4c”]8[/qodef_dropcaps]According to the specifications the following aspect ratios for DCPs are valid: 1998×1080 (2K Flat), 2048×858 (2K Scope), 2048×1080 (2K Full). If your HD file has 1920×1080 (Full HD resolution), we recommend using Flat (with black bars left and right).

 

[qodef_dropcaps type=”circle” color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#b2dd4c”]9[/qodef_dropcaps]If you have seperate audio tracks, you can send them to us too. According to SMPTE and DCI standards, audio samples should be 24 Bit. When using 16 bit samples as input, the bit depth will be automatically up – converted to 24 bit. You can upload WAV files with these specifications:

 

  •    WAV, 16 Bit, 48kHz or 96 kHz, mono, uncompressed
  •    WAV, 24 Bit, 48kHz or 96 kHz, mono, uncompressed

This means that during the period of one year you can share the link for transferring the DCP film copy e.g. with festivals, cinemas or other venues. The service also comprises high speed data transfer, which we ensure in cooperation with an external provider. Standard service means, that the link for downloading your DCP is valid for 1 week (7 days).
