[DCP-o-matic] XYZ image sequence colour problems

by Jim Dummett

Hi all. I'm trying to make a DCP from a TIFF image sequence. The post house providing the image sequence say that it's XYZ colour space. But when I create a DCP from it, it comes out with a green tinge. I've used colour conversion "none" setting and this is on DCP-o-matic v2.10.5. I don't have access to a projector, so am judging the success (or not) of the conversion using two methods: 1. Viewing in Easy DCP Player demo 2. Converting DCP to ProResHQ Quicktime with ffmeg (ffmpeg -i j2c_...mxf -c:v prores -profile:v 3 output.mov) Here's an example still from the sequence: http://www.cinebox.co/clock.tiff. The clock should be white but instead has a green tinge. I can see 4 possibilities: 1. DCP-o-matic is erroneously introducing a green hue 2. I'm using wrong settings in DCP-o-matic 3. My methods for viewing the resulting DCP aren't colour-accurate 4. The image sequence isn't in fact XYZ Can anyone offer any suggestions? Many thanks, Jim

[DCP-o-matic] Video getting cut by the edges

by Armand Kruger

Dear, We converted a video and via the program it showed that it was fine but when we played it through the Projector it cut of some of the video via sides. We had wording on the sides of the video and it cut off. The Video resolution was 2048x858. Via the program we saved it via 2 types. 16x9 flat and full frame flat.(16x9 didn't cut but it went skew. Our projector can display 2k. Is there anyway of fixing this issue or converting it via a different scale or anything we can do by our end. Regards Armand

What am I not doing, or not understanding with these 3D trailers? I tried it and it seems the file is no problem (3d-lg-sports-highlight-(www.demolandia.net).m2ts) - Create a new project - add m2TS file - under Content ->Video, choose ‚3D left/right‘ If you play preview already now, you should see the image stretched properly in the preview area, and while playing, you see a ‚jittering image‘, L and R plays frame consecutive. Now, under DCP make a checkbox at ‚Video‘ - ‚3D' The Left Eye/Right Eye selector will then become active below the preview image, and you can switch between left eye only and right eye only for preview. And the jitter goes away. Then hit ‚Make DCP‘. So, in short words - you need to tell DCP-o-matic which 3D format your source is, and tell DCP-o-matic you actually want to create a 3D DCP. - Carsten

What am I not doing, or not understanding with these 3D trailers? That appears to be a side-by-side 3D clip - left and right in one image. I assume you made yourself familiar with these types? You have to configure the proper content 3D type so DCO-o-matic knows where to look for the left and right side images in your content. I’ll try this one and see wether it works for me... - Carsten

As such, DCP-o-matic can not create a 3D DCP from it. It can not do depth-conversion from 2D to 3D. It can of course do a ‚flat‘ conversion, that is, create a 3D DCP that looks like 2D (L and R eye identical). But that makes no sense usually as most projection systems can play 2D and 3D content mixed anyway (doing the same thing, duplicating L/R on the fly during playout to keep the whole playlist in 3D mode). - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] GREETINGS FROM THE ICA IN LONDON

by Marc Brown

Hi Carl, I hope you're well. I did email you a while ago regarding encrypted DCPs but I've hit a new unrelated wall I'm hoping you can help with. So I'm hoping to rip this crappy 30fps NTSC DVD that's 1:66:1 "floating" in a 16:9 container. I've done all the zoom ups, re-sized and re-edited the subs and my master MOV file is free of deinterlacing errors. I'm very happy with it....well, as happy as you can be from such a crappy source :-/ But here's the very weird thing. DCP'ing "creates" visible deinterlacing errors?? Ones not present (or atleast visible on the master file) but very pronounced on the DCP. [cid:image003.jpg@01D2DC72.F21C9E70] I suspect it's picking up on imperfections in the image?? Never had this with DCP O'Matic before, it usually does the opposite and removes the imperfections?? The obvious suggestion is to re-encode using one of your de-interlacing filters...the trouble is that's what you're looking at above, the second pass with the first filter enabled :( All it seemed to do was smear the image. Do you have any advice with this? I don't want to keep doing multiple passes and hit the same issues as sadly the film is feature length with no other masters available :( Huge thanks as always. Feel free to add the Institute of Contemporary Arts in the UK to your impressive roster of clients. We're on the Mall, so you're (rightly) a stone's throw away from royalty now and deservedly so :) Thanks again! M A R C

[DCP-o-matic] dcp sound worries

by Nehtarios Kapatsoris

Dear Carl, First and foremost, thank you very much for your manual and generally your kind support. Secondly, i have created for the first time a dcp and i am bit worried about the sound.In detail, you say at your manual (7.2 Show audio) that 0dB represents full scale so if there is anything near this we are in danger of clipping the projector's audio inputs.What exactly are the dangers?And secondly i hava attached a print screen of my audio show.Could you please check it and if it is not good could you please advice me how to change it?

[DCP-o-matic] Kinothek Stuttgart. Installationsproblem ...

by Kinothek Stuttgart

Hello together, sorry for taking your time. Perhaps you can answer me, if you are so kind. Thank you very much. We are using DCP-o-matic for a long time, exclusively till now for making slides without audio tracks. There were no problems. Just till now. After received error messages, we uninstalled the whole program, and we installed it new (site: dcpomatic.com). After downloading and doing the whole procedure (>executing>setup wizard>licence agreement>destination folder C:\Program Files\DCP-o-matic 2>choose components) there is a window with the error message: Error opening file for writing (C:\Programfiles\DCP-o-matic2\bin\libintl-8.dll), then the installing process doesn´t continue (Can´t write). What´s wrong? Perhaps there´s a little link for it, otherwise I have to instruct my system supervisor to have a look. Kind regards from Stuttgart. Kinothek Stuttgart. Asangstrasse 15. 70329 Stuttgart. P.S. : Is it the problem to do a registration?

[DCP-o-matic] 3D Slide show generation very slow V2.10 compared to version 1.79

by Andrew Hurst

I used DCP-o-matic 1.79 2 years ago to successfully run a 3D convention in the UK. After 2 years I now have to do some more and loaded version 2.10.5 I am only trying to generate a test slide show of still images and where version 1.79 rips through in no time version 2.10 is taking for ever. It is as if it isn't realising it is using the same still image for all 240 frames of 10 seconds and doing the same calculations over and over again which 1.79 certainly didn't appear to do, it distinctly did it for one frame and quickly repeated it. Is there a setting I need to change or is it a bug in some new code? I am primarily using it on a MAC with OS-X 10.6.8 But I have just downloaded the latest version to a PC with Windows 10 and although it is 10 times quicker as a machine it still took 5 minutes to generate a 6 image slideshow of 10 seconds each. Any help appreciated. Andrew

[DCP-o-matic] 3D Slide show generation very slow V2.10 compared to version 1.79

by Andrew Hurst

I just thought to test with 3D turned off on both content and output and it behaves as I would expect creating the slide show in a matter of seconds. I then tried 2D Content to 3D output which is quick and 3D content to 2D output equally quick. Changing the input scaling each time to force regeneration of the video files. Only 3D content to 3D output slows down and just munches through every frame like its never seen it before. Hope that helps, and may be explains why the bug has gone unnoticed, there won't be many of us making 3D slide shows.

[DCP-o-matic] Sony Encrypted SMPTE Test

by Carsten Kurz

Okay, I tried a KDM created by KDM-Studio, and it didn’t work. Same result as with the KDMs created by DCP-o-matic directly. I don’t create KDMs too often, so I had to rethink the whole process, here is what I did: I had created the SONY as a screen in KDM Studio before. For the same DCP-o-matic project I created SMPTE KDMs for, I created a DKDM using the certificate KDM-Studio provides. No complaints. I created a new screen in DCP-o-matic using this certificate, and created a KDM (DKDM) for it. I created a new production and booking in KDM Studio with this DKDM. I made sure all the windows fit. Then issued KDMs, received them via email (see below), and ingested them on the Sony. Ingested the feature on the Sony. KDM was shown attached to the feature as in all my previous Sony tests. Tried to play - got the same result… I will now try to replicate this same process with IOP. - Carsten > Anfang der weitergeleiteten Nachricht: > > Von: KDM Studio <delivery(a)dcptools.com> > Betreff: KDM Delivery 'Test_SMPTE' 'Test für Sony' for 'Linden-Theater' > Datum: 13.

[DCP-o-matic] Pleeeeeeeeze...!

by Carsten Kurz

Okay, before I go to sleep, I want to say something: There is currently a limitation in DCP-o-matic concerning encrypted SMPTE DCPs that won’t play on Sony SRX-R515/510 systems. This bugs us for more than two years now. Or even since the 515 was launched. You will not believe how much time/effort Carl (with some minor help of some other people) put’s into resolving this. Things like this typically go mostly unnoticed, because it doesn’t actually sell as a new feature. And all this while Carl, among other things, is working hard on implementing audio in preview, and DCP export. So. Pleeeeeeeeeze! Donate! <http://dcpomatic.com/donate> Good night, and good luck - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] mute audio sub wav file

by Allen Milford Vanik

Hi Carl ,.. Thank you for all the time you've spent making DCP-o-matic for the rest of us. It is gratefully appreciated. I have a Final Cut Pro exported MXF file with video and audio. I want to mute the audio then substitute a WAV file for the audio that's in the Final Cut Pro MXF file. I can Import the Final Cut Pro MXF and the WAV files into the DCP film I'm making; and, I'm guessing I can go to the Audio map for the MXF file and de-select everything. Then, select the WAV file, go to the Audio Map for the WAV file and route the audio to the DCP channels .. Will this do the trick? Or, is there a better way to mute the audio in the MXF file and substitute the WAV audio for it? When I look at the Audio map for the Final Cut Pro MXF file, it comes out as a Single channel (Center) - and it doesn't sound like Stereo. The WAV file - IS - Stereo, I can hear it. I wish I had 5.1 audio to work with but I had the audio Mastered as Stereo (this is before I started to learn about DCP's from reading your DCP-o-matic manual ..). Also, the Timing of the MXF video and the WAV audio is sync'ed; so, I think it should come out sync'ed in the DCP or will that change when I make the DCP? Please, let me know .. thank you .. -- Allen Milford Vanik Phoenix, Arizona USA (602) 952-2771 allen(a)allenmilfordvanik.com www.allenmilfordvanik.com
