Hi,
I made dcp format for the cinema, but in the cinema they can't play it correctly. The
colors are different (the picture below).
I don't have already any idea how to fix it.
Could you please help me?
Hi Dušan,
I am nearly sure that the frame rate of your DCP (and source media) is to high. Very
often, with source frame rates higher than 30fps, and not considering DCP-o-matics
settings and warnings/hints, a DCP with 50 or 60 frames per seconds is created. Many
servers interpret this as a 3D DCP, and switch color processing/transport to 3D mode,
which is different from 2D mode.
Many cameras nowadays can record at 50 or 60 fps, so this happens quite often with source
media that has higher frame rates than 24/25/30fps.
Reopen your DCP-o-matic project, go to the DCP tab, and check DCP frame rate. Force it to
half the source frame rate, e.g. 25fps for 50p source frame rate or 30fps for 60fps.
I am nearly sure that this will fix the issue.
