Approved screens, portable workflows

DDL - D-Cine Display Lock

Bind protected playback to one or more qualified display chains without forcing a post-production player to remain in one room.

Read the DDL guide

Enroll several displays

Approve grading monitors, client projectors, screening rooms and controlled service replacements for one player.

Content-selected assurance

One player certificate supports DDL1, DDL2 or DDL3 targeting through the KDM’s signed AnnotationText—compatible with familiar KDM creation workflows.

Qualified control

Authority-managed user permission controls enrollment and removal, with a reviewable record of successful and denied requests.

Recognisable display inventory

Pair the authoritative EDID fingerprint with available manufacturer, model, serial, manufacture date and physical-size details.

Layered identity

Use authenticated HDCP for DDL1, enrolled EDID fingerprints for DDL2, and authenticated receiver identity/topology for hardware-qualified DDL3.

Two-year activity history

Signed-in Authority users can review authorization, enrollment and removal history—including player serial, requested/achieved level and display identity—for 730 days.

Visible and fail-closed: the player reports Unlocked, DDL1, DDL2 or DDL3 at the top of the interface. DDL3’s signed kernel installer is offered only to explicitly qualified GPU IDs. Hardware qualification is in progress; no GPU is yet advertised as production-qualified.
