Creating the DSM

The first step to create a DCI compliant Distribution Package for digital

cinemas is the same as with most projects. You simply have to assemble

your project in the timeline of the CLIPSTER Edit Tool and edit it as de-

sired with, for example, trimmings, transitions, color corrections, etc. It

is this ’master project’ that can then be converted to different formats

for various applications, such as a Digital Cinema Distribution Master

(DCDM), a home video master or a master for archiving purposes.

The DCI clearly states that the Digital Source Master (DSM) itself is not

defined, i.e. it ’can be made of any color space, resolution, sampling

frequency, color component bit depths and many other metrics.’

Therefore, it lies totally in your own discretion how to prepare a project

and thus the Digital Source Master.

However, for best results when making a DCI Mastering, it is recom-

mended that the timeline of the DSM consists of clips in the RGB color

space only.
