Let’s set the resolution, (frame size) first. The image below illustrates how HD fits into the DCP dimensions: Then we have to convert it into a tiff sequence. We have to re-size this to either fit into 1998×1080 or 2048×858 resolution. I’ll start by assuming you have a Master Export in 1920×1080 resolution with Stereo sound. The minimum requirements for admission to the academy awards are the same as above with the exception that it has to be 24fps and Audio must either be 3 channel (Left, Centre, Right) or 5.1 Stereo / 5.1 separate WAVE Mono files 48kHz, 24bit unencrypted PCM. Let’s start by looking at what specs SterKinekor requires the DCP to be delivered. If this is the case, the workflow below will work perfectly for you. For many editors this is not possible either their source footage is only HD, which is very common for documentary projects and lower budget productions. Thus if you are following a professional online-edit and colour-correction workflow, you should export to DCP directly from your online package. The DCP format can store much more colour information than a Prores 422 file, and since the resolution is larger some scaling will occur. It has to be said that creating a DCP using a HD file is not ideal. The software we will be using is MPEGStremclip and OpenDCP. The Ster Kinekor Cinema’s have recently upgraded all their projectors to “ Christie Solaria One“. This article demonstrates a fast and effective way to create a DCP (Digital Cinema package) that meets the requirements for screening in Ster Kinekor cinema’s in South Africa, using only a 1920×1080 Prores or equivalent Export and free software.
