Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is a 35mm digital film alternative. The DCP’s support and demand for the past years has been significantly increased in theaters and film festivals around the world, virtually replacing the 35mm film projection with digital projection systems.

DCP has several advantages over the traditional film workflow:

• It is a standardized format (created by a consortium of the six major film studios), ensuring compatibility and interoperability worldwide.
• DCP production is often 80% -90% cheaper than 35mm film printing. It is also cheaper to produce additional copies.
• Enables the flexibility of DCP subtitles. In the case of the film subtitling has proven to be challenging and often the film subtitles would need to be burnt in or projected using separate subtitling system. DCP resolves this issue easily.
• Unlike the film DCP does not lose the quality during copying.
• DCP allows encryption,resulting in protected content restricted to be playable only on particular projector for a specific period of time.
• DCP supports 3D movies.

GFM Studio offers a variety of services for DCP production.
