Home - FREE DCP Quality Assurance & AUDIO level assurance tools

With the numerous DCP creation tools available, the reliability of DCPs you receive as an exhibitor or a cinema content vendor can be a major technical challenge. DCP compatibility with the mixture of vendor equipment in the world can be very hit and miss. Ensuring there are no dark screens or failed to play for a DCP you receive or supply can be a very expensive exercise. Many take the expensive step of purchasing and learning complex DCP authoring tools that can insure these issues do not occur.

Preshow audio levels can also be a huge issue. A DCP may play, but has the audio been suitable leveled to theatrical standards? Cinema is not the same as typical audio production, and annoying jumps in loudness levels from DCP to DCP can result. This is especially common today as anyone can make a DCP but not everyone has a theatrical dubbing theatre to quality check audio levels.
