Other Information
  • Film elements are digitally captured at 2K raw DPX files in-house. The creation of the DCP from the 2K raw DPX files is done by an external vendor. The 2K DPX files are not retained after the creation of the DCP.
  • Due to its very large file size, this product is not accessed directly by researchers and is only used for theatrical exhibition.
  • The integrity of the sources aspect ratio will be maintained.

Rationale

Because they are intended for exhibition, DCPs often contain additional image improvements such as the use of restoration tools including dust and scratch removal as needed and scene-by-scene color correction.
