SCENE 01 / DIGITAL CINEMA PACKAGE DCP
Digital Cinema Package (DCP)
Professional DCP creation ensuring flawless theatrical presentation and worldwide cinema distribution.
A Digital Cinema Package is the standard format for theatrical film release. It holds encrypted video, audio, and subtitle data that cinema projectors read and display. DCP mastering needs precise specs for resolution, frame rate, color space, and audio channel setup, so playback runs as it should.
We run DCP creation with mastering facilities certified for digital cinema release. Our team handles the specs, encryption, and quality checks, so your Digital Cinema Package plays flawlessly in theaters. It also meets the delivery standards your distribution partners need.

DCP mastering for Peruvian and festival cinema release
Digital Cinema Packages for theatrical release in Peru are built to the same DCI specs used worldwide. But the real needs of the home cinema circuit shape how we build them. Cineplanet, run by the Centenario Group, is the country's largest chain. Cinemark Perú, UVK Multicines, and Cinépolis Perú run most of the multiplex screens. Arthouse venues such as Cine Pacífico in Miraflores and the Filmoteca PUCP cinematheque handle specialty releases and retrospectives. Each one keeps preferred ingest profiles for audio channel mapping, Spanish subtitle delivery, and trailer-versus-feature CPL structure.
Our DCP team produces SMPTE-compliant packages at Cinesphere DI Lima and partner finishing houses. Interop variants are ready where festival or legacy projectors need them. We deliver 2K and 4K resolutions, with 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos audio and many subtitle languages. Aspect-ratio variants are assembled as supplemental packages, which avoids copying the main feature payload.
For festival submissions to the Festival de Lima run by PUCP, Trasandino in Arequipa, regional Latin American festivals, or global circuits, encryption is mostly left off to keep playback simple. Commercial theatrical releases through the Cineplanet or Cinemark Perú circuit are wrapped with pro KDM workflows, scoped to specific projector certificates and screening windows. Each package is checked on a reference cinema server before delivery. That step confirms load behaviour, audio mapping, subtitle timing, and CPL integrity against the production's release plan.
Turnaround for a standard feature DCP is one to three business days, with rush services ready for festival deadlines or last-minute global screenings. Once delivered, packages are archived against the production's preservation master at Filmoteca PUCP or partner facilities. This lets us re-issue them — for anniversary screenings, DAFO-recognised re-releases, or new area deals — without re-mastering from scratch.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DCP and why do I need one?
A Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is the industry-standard format for theatrical release. You need one to show your film in commercial cinemas or submit to major film festivals. It makes sure your content shows correctly on pro digital projectors, with proper image and sound quality.
What's the difference between encrypted and unencrypted DCPs?
Encrypted DCPs need a KDM (Key Delivery Message) for each projector and time window, which protects content for commercial releases. Unencrypted DCPs are mostly used for film festival submissions, where security matters less and simplicity is preferred.
How long does DCP creation take?
Standard DCP creation usually takes 1-3 business days, based on your project's length and how complex it is. We offer rush services for tight deadlines. Feature films need longer encoding 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 setups (5.1, 7.1, Atmos), subtitle options, language versions, and aspect ratios. We'll work with you to pick which versions fit your distribution plan.
