Catcher – DCP Delivery and Library Management

Home - Catcher – DCP Delivery and Library Management

AutoDelivery workflows are now covered by Catcher / CatcherTMS. Catcher is free cinema content-operations software for receiving, organising, checking and transferring digital cinema content. The detailed product pages on tools.d-cine.net describe its capabilities and development status.

From delivery to a managed cinema library

  • Receive DCPs from physical media and configured network sources.
  • Keep packages, compositions and media records organised in the cinema library.
  • Review transfer progress and inspect content before preparing it for the cinema’s players.
  • Use media previews, DCP-to-MP4 conversion and audio QC to investigate content when required.

Network delivery depends on the source service, access permissions, storage and available bandwidth. Catcher does not replace a distributor agreement or provide access to every delivery platform. Allow time for transfers and checks before the first session.

Version 4 and theatre management

The new CatcherTMS version 4 web interface brings the content workflows together. Its TMS schedule, show-building and publishing area is active development work. Review the roadmap before relying on those upcoming functions for live cinema operation.
