DCP (Digital Cinema Package)

A Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is a standardized collection of digital files used to store and deliver movies for cinema projection. It contains the film’s high-quality audio, video, and subtitles, all organized systematically for playback on digital cinema projectors. Think of it as a digital film reel that ensures movies look and sound their best on cinema screens, maintaining picture and sound quality throughout distribution. DCPs enable efficient, secure transfer of films from studios to theaters worldwide, replacing traditional physical film prints with a reliable digital format.
