Daily workflow

DCP Cine Player operations

Purpose-built pages keep ingest, playlist construction, automation, scheduling and live control clear for projectionists, managers, technicians and integrators.

Check

Review dashboard health, storage, licence, trusted clock, output protection and upcoming schedule.

Ingest

Define a DCP, IMF, EAR, media or KDM source; scan, choose the composition and monitor validation.

Unlock

Import KDMs and confirm recipient, validity, composition and key readiness. Unsupported encryption fails closed.

Build

Arrange graphically identified clips, black, delays, timed cues, macros and event streams in the searchable Show Editor.

Schedule

Place reusable shows on the weekly calendar, copy a week and control automatic playback.

Monitor

Follow the active item, timeline, output/DDL level, HUD, audio and automation state from Player.

D-Cine Player weekly scheduler

Repeatable, visible scheduling

The scheduler centralises planned playback and uses trusted player time. Shows remain reusable library objects, while calendar entries identify exactly what should run and when.
