Digital Cinema Package (DCP)
Professional DCP creation ensuring flawless theatrical presentation and worldwide cinema distribution.
Here is how this works in practice. A Digital Cinema Package is the standardized format for theatrical film distribution, containing encrypted video, audio, and subtitle data that cinema projectors read and display. DCP mastering needs precise tech specs for resolution, frame rate, color space, and audio channel setup to make sure proper playback.
Here is the short of it. We set up DCP creation with mastering facilities certified for digital cinema distribution. Our team manages the tech specs, encryption, and quality verification process to make sure your Digital Cinema Package plays flawlessly in theaters and meets the delivery standards needed by your distribution partners.

Poland's DCP houses in Warsaw and Łódź build DCI-compliant Digital Cinema Packages for theatrical release and the festival circuit — the Gdynia Film Festival and EnergaCAMERIMAGE in Toruń.
Here is how this works in practice. We create Digital Cinema Packages from facilities in Warsaw and Łódź, building DCI-compliant masters for theatrical release and festival submission. Our team handles JPEG 2000 encoding, color conversion to the DCI XYZ color space, 5.1 and 7.1 audio packaging, subtitle and caption integration, and the creation of composition playlists and KDM key running for encrypted delivery. We test each DCP on cinema servers before delivery to confirm playback, sync and color, and we produce the supplemental packages festivals and distributors need.
Here is the short of it. Łódź — home of the legendary national film school. The Opus Film studio behind the Oscar-winning 'Ida' and 'Cold War' — concentrates strong theatrical-finishing talent. The Polish Film Institute's 30% cash rebates keeps DCP mastering affordable for incoming shoots. We deliver to the exact specs of cinemas and festivals worldwide and quote budgets in Polish złoty with 23% VAT applied.
Here is the breakdown. Poland's DCP work is anchored by a vibrant festival circuit. The Gdynia Film Festival. This awards the Golden Lions for the best in Polish cinema. EnergaCAMERIMAGE in Toruń — the world's top festival dedicated to the art of cinematography — both run on DCI-compliant Digital Cinema Packages, alongside the Krakow Film Festival. Polish cinema has a strong theatrical pedigree: Roman Polański's 'The Pianist' took three Oscars. Paweł Pawlikowski's 'Ida' and 'Cold War' earned global acclaim and theatrical runs worldwide.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our team prepares DCPs to the tech and language needs of person venues. This includes the encrypted KDM-covered packages distributors need for wide release. Whether a project is bound for a festival premiere or a national theatrical rollout, we deliver tested, DCI-compliant packages ready for the projection booth.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DCP and why do I need one?
Here is the breakdown. A Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is the industry-standard format for theatrical exhibition. If you want to show your film in commercial cinemas or submit to major film festivals, you need a DCP. It makes sure your content displays correctly on pro digital projection systems with proper image and sound quality.
What's the difference between encrypted and unencrypted DCPs?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Encrypted DCPs need a KDM (Key Delivery Message) for each specific projector and time window, giving content protection for commercial releases. Unencrypted DCPs are mostly used for film festival submissions where security is less key and simplicity is preferred.
How long does DCP creation take?
Standard DCP creation mostly takes 1-3 business days based on the length and complexity of your project. We give rush services for urgent deadlines. Feature films need longer encoding times than shorts, and 4K DCPs take longer than 2K versions.
Can you create multiple versions of my DCP?
Yes, we often create many DCP versions including different audio configurations (5.1, 7.1, Atmos), subtitle options, language versions, and aspect ratios. We'll work with you to determine which versions you need for your distribution strategy.
