If you own a theater that has not yet transferred to displaying digital movies, then you might be wondering what all the fuss is about and if it is truly worth it. In fact, using digital cinema packages is definitely a great choice. There are plenty of reasons why this is so.
Security
DCPs offer a very high level of security. While an unlimited number of copies can be made, no copy can work without the proper KDM digital key to open it. This protects not only the filmmaker but the theater owner as well from theft that could result in prosecution. Everything is safe and well-protected when a DCP is used.
Easily Delivered
Gone are the days of waiting for a shipping company to deliver 35mm rolls of actual film to arrive at the theater. Digital content can be delivered either via satellite or through more terrestrial ISP methods. There is no more worry of them being delivered in a damaged condition and not having the movie ready to play when customers are expecting it.
Economical
Using digital cinema packages from a movie studio is much more economical than the old-fashioned methods of getting a movie. Since you are saving in costs, your bottom line will increase. This is great news for theaters that are already experiencing a razor-thin profit margin.
