The CineAsset Editor is used to create the 2D or 3D compositions from audio/video files (QuickTime,
MXF, AVI, WMV, etc.) or image sequences (TIFF, JPEG, BMP, TARGA, etc.) apply filters such as Color
conversion and add encryption. CineAsset Editor seamlessly passes the composition to CineAsset
Schedule, which handles the conversion and encryption and places the DCP in the database. Once
the DCP is in the database, the CineAsset GUI is used to generate KDMs, if the content is encrypted,
and transfer the DCPs to a server.
CineAsset now includes a DCP Player application called CinePlayer. CinePlayer can be used to QC
encrypted and unencrypted DCPs. DCPs in the CineAsset database can be sent to CinePlayer for
playback with the click of a button. CinePlayer can also playback encrypted and unencrypted DCPs
generated by anyone as well as any video file type supported by CineAsset.
Moreover, for Mac users, CineAsset includes Doremi CineExport. Doremi CineExport is a software
plug-in for Apple’s Compressor application and allows the creation of Digital Cinema Packages (DCP)
from Final Cut Pro sequences and other common video files.

Editor interface.
3.2.1.2.1 Codec Tab
The Codec tab is used to set the video compression type and settings used such as bitrate.
The available compression types are JPEG2000, MPEG2, H264 and VC1.
Note: CineAsset does not include a VC1 encoder. To use the VC1 codec, the source file must also be
VC1.
The “Rule” options allow you to control the encoding process. “Encode if necessary” will only
re-encode source files that do not match the project settings, “Encode all files” tells CineAsset
to re-encode any source file regardless of the project settings and “Encode all files except I-
Only (mpeg only)” tells CineAsset to only re-encode long GOP MPEG files. The Rule allows
you to force re-encode JP2K source files.
For JPEG2000, the maximum bitrate is 250Mb/s for frame rates at and below 30. For frame
rates above 30, 500Mb/s is the maximum bitrate.
To encrypt the DCP, click the “Encrypt content” check-box (see Figure 39).
The package standard can be set to either SMPTE or Interop.
The package category can be set using the “Category” drop-down box. The available selections
are Feature, Test, Trailer, Teaser, Rating, Advertisement, Short, Transitional, PSA, and Policy.
The Audio configuration down-box is used to set the audio track assignments for the DCP.
Hovering over the configuration will show the audio track labels.

The available scaling modes are Aspect (scale and maintain the aspect ratio), Fit Horizontally,
Fit Vertically, and Fill & Canvas (adds a border around the image).
The force Resolution drop-down box is used to force the video into a specific video format.
The scaling can also be adjusted later using the Editor interface.
CineAsset supports High Frame Rates, standard frame rates, and archive frame rates. The
available settings are 16, 18.18, 20, 21.82, 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 47.95, 48, 50, 59.94, 60,
72, 95.90, 96, 100, 119.88, and 120.
• The available filters that can be set as default are Color Conversion, Overlay, Burn and
Lead/Trail.
To enable color conversion, check the Color conversion check-box in the Default filters tab (see
Figure 43).
Choose Conversion type (RGB to XYZ, XYZ to RGB or P3 to XYZ).
Once color conversion is checked, there are 3 options (see Figure 44).
o Use default LUT – use the CineAsset default RGB to XYZ' LUT.
o Use Custom input LUT - This option will allow the color conversion to be edited
manually using slides to adjust the gamma curves or by using a .csv LUT file.
o Offset - Adjust the image brightness.
o Gamma - Set the input de-gamma. exp. If the input is Rec709, which uses an encoding
gamma of 0.45, the correct setting would be 2.22 (1/0.45).
o Gain - Adjust the image contrast.
Note: Custom LUT files accepted must be 12 or 16 bits with size equal to 512, 1024, 2048, 4096,
8192, 16394, 32768, or 65536.
• Use 3D LUT – this option will allow the use of a .3dl LUT file.

To work with an encrypted DCP from a third party mastering facility, follow these steps:
• Export and send the CineAsset certificates to the content owner so they can issue a DKDM for
the CineAsset dongle in use.
• Using the CineAsset Editor, create a project with settings that match the DCP to be used.
• If encryption is enabled in the project settings, the DCP will be imported to the
CineAsset database as encrypted and new KDM’s can be created with CineAsset.
• If encryption is not enabled in the project settings, the DCP will be saved in the
CineAsset database as an un-encrypted DCP.
• Import the DCP to the project timeline.
• When prompted, supply the location of the DKDM.
• Create a name for the DCP and select Generate.
• The DCP will be imported to the CineAsset database.
Once the DCP is in the CineAsset Database, new KDM’s can be made for it as needed. New versions
of the DCP can also be created by importing the DCP into a new project.
