Digital Cinema Packages

FotoKem masters encrypted and non-encrypted DCI-compliant 2D and 3D digital cinema packages for global
theatrical distribution, from virtually any source type and resolution. Mastering content at the DCI maximum bit
rate of 250Mb/s, DCPs can be encoded with an even number of audio channels, up to 16. For MOS projects,
silent tracks can be created for maximum compatibility.

Encrypted, watermarked content can be distributed with a KDM (Key Delivery Message) that allows the owner
of the content to choose when / where the content is to be displayed.

FotoKem can add subtitles to 2D packages, either burned into picture, or overlaid at time of projection.
3D package subtitles can go through an enhanced pipeline using depth settings for each shot.

Critical quality assurance is part of the DCP workflow at FotoKem. Tools for QC include the Doremi DMS
2000 server, the largest installed base of servers in the field.

Content can be mastered to CD/DVD, Firewire, with Q/C and distribution. Additionally, FotoKem can mass
duplicate and distribute flash drives.
