DCM Cinema Production Requirements 2D 2K Digital Cinema Exhibition Here are the items we require for cinema production of 2D commercials running across digital cinema screens. We handle the video to 2D 2K DCP (Digital Cinema Package) transfer and the digital distribution to DCM screens for the campaign. Please note that copy supply from you to us is fully electronic.

Copy Clearance Copy clearance submissions should be underway as soon as possible, to be confirmed by the copy deadline. From Thurs 31 March 2016 the CAA is the sole clearance body for most commercial advertising in UK cinemas. However, public information / campaigning films will still need BBFC certification. If you are unsure whether your advertisement is a public information / campaigning film please contact the BBFC Helpline who will be happy to help you. Please refer to our Copy clearance procedure guide for information on the submissions process: http://www.dcm.co.uk/production-and-services

Please ensure we receive the same picture that the Dolby 5.1 is mixed against to avoid sync issues later on. Note that if you are mixing against a 25fps picture this is the one we need. In this scenario your sound studio will need to stretch the Dolby mix to 24fps before supply to us as per the audio specification overleaf.
