Open Cinema Tools Description

Open Cinema Tools is a software application designed to help you create digital cinema packages. This means you will be able to create DC audio, image, and data streams. By creating DC packages you can free up the space from your computer, as they contain files that are compressed, encoded and decrypted. Since this is a portable version, you can copy the program on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to design DCPs. It sports a simplistic interface with all its options neatly displayed in the main window. You cannot drag and drop the items directly into the main window, so you are required to use the built-in browse button. Open Cinema Tools allows users to select the type of package they want to create between two modes: 2D or 3D movies. It supports the JPEG 2000 image compression mode, and you can browse the computer for adding an entire folder to the list. The application offers users the possibility of selecting audio files for different audio channels, such as left, right, center, low-frequency effects, and left and right surround. It can only work with a single file format, namely WAV. Moreover, you can include in your package video and audio files, provided that the file format is MXF. It is also possible to select a description for the movies from a preset list (e.g. feature, trailer, test, teaser, rating, advertisement), add a movie title, annotation text and information about issuers, rating agency and rating. You can also add details about the packing list and asset map, by specifying the issuer and including a text message. The packing list will contain all the files in the composition, stored in XML format, while the asset map file lists the items that are comprised in the DCP file type. In conclusion, Open Cinema Tools proves to a reliable tool that can help you design digital cinema packages quickly and easily. It doesn’t take a lot of time to get used to working with this tool, as it appeals to beginners and professionals alike. Reviewed by Ana Marculescu, last updated on July 2nd, 2013
