Abstract

With the digital technology developments, Digital Cinema outperforms traditional films and attracts the movie industry. The first edition Digital Cinema System Specification was released by Digital Cinema Initiatives, LLC (DCI) in 2005, which advances the Digital Cinema development. We have developed a Digital Cinema Playback system compliant with the DCI Specification. It can extract and play the 2 K-resolution component from the 2 K/4 K DCP (Digital Cinema Package) files at 24 fps, and support an up to 350 Mbps video streaming service. Connected to Barco projector and Dolby digital device, this system can display the standard fully or partially encrypted test materials fluently and correctly. The synchronization of audio and video meets the DCI Specification.
