Ideally, when using this system, I'd like to just patch into my current signal at the top level. I see SDI out, which is great, but the manual suggests that the SDI is meant to interface with other downstream Dolby surround controllers. Basically I want the peace of mind that a DCP we create WILL play back in an actual cinema environment.Īnyone have experience with this piece of gear? Rather than going the route of EasyDCP player as a solution for playing back encrypted DCPs, I'm thinking, per suggestion of Salvo, of buying a used DCP player. Or has anyone tried to upgrade their software outside of the 6-month standard support period and can give a sense of the cost? Presumably no handshake is happening in that scenario.Īnyone have experience using easyDCP Player+ to playback encrypted DCPs over a DeckLink SDI connection?
I also wonder whether I will run into a problem with HDCP when playing an encrypted DCP via DeckLink. Need to know this solution will work on my system before buying. I'm not so much complaining about the price as I am the unknowns.Īs a business owner, just need to plan expenses and weigh against income from DCP screenings.ĭitto for the tech side. That's all fine, but I'd like to know things like how often software updates come out, what makes a software update a must have, and if you are out of service, how much are you paying for the upgrade? And they're saying if you don't pay for the service (essentially a subscription), you can't get software upgrades. But you can also pay $50-ish a month for support, which is required for software updates.
$3,000 is totally reasonable as a permanent license. Even one minute could be enough, or playback with a watermark. Feels unnecessarily stingy as a trial restriction. Though the trial, which only allows for 15 seconds of playback, may not be enough for me to judge things like playback audio sync or video stutter. Ah, EasyDCP Player+ does seem to do what I need.
