[QUOTE="SDCR, post: 31039440, member: 576715"] Hollywood films are sent to theaters today primarily via Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs), which are hard drives or USB drives containing the movie files that are shipped to theaters. Some theaters also receive movies via satellite, where they are downloaded and activated for playback. Each DCP contains the film and a license key, which is sent separately via email or a USB drive to allow the projectionist to unlock and play the content. Digital Cinema Package (DCP) [LIST] [*]The most common method of distribution. [*]The movie is loaded onto a hard drive or USB drive. [*]The drive is shipped to the theater, often in a protective case. [*]The files on the drive are encrypted and require a separate, unique license key to be unlocked. [*]The license key is usually sent to the theater via email or another digital method. [/LIST] Satellite distribution [LIST] [*]A growing and increasingly popular method for larger theaters and chains. [*]The movie is downloaded from a secure server via a satellite dish. [*]The film is activated for playback using a license key, often through a remote, centralized system. [*]This method can reduce distribution costs and logistics compared to physical shipping. [/LIST] How it works in the theater [LIST=1] [*][B]Delivery:[/B] A hard drive or the movie's satellite feed arrives at the theater. [*][B]Ingest:[/B] The film files are transferred from the drive to the theater's local server. [*][B]Activation:[/B] The projectionist receives the license key (often by email) and loads it into the system to unlock the movie content. [*][B]Playback:[/B] Once unlocked, the movie can be played in the auditorium. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
