Enter the 3rd dimension
CLIPSTER® now enables you to generate DCI Masters with stereoscopic content. By following the DCI specification CLIPSTER® gives you the ability to create fast and secure stereoscopic 3D Digital Cinema Packages (DCP). CLIPSTER’s DCI Mastering Wizard lets you easily perform all steps of the stereoscopic DCI Mastering process including interleaving, encoding, encryption and wrapping into MXF files. Thanks to CLIPSTER’s unique hardware accelerator this process can be accomplished in real time.
3D conforming
Conforming 3D content is easy with CLIPSTER’s sophisticated conforming tool. Just drag and drop the left- and right-eye stream EDL into the timeline and the stereoscopic images are created. You can edit stereo tracks as regular video tracks. Once both streams are synchronized, there’s no need to edit left and right eye separately. You can play out and control both streams simultaneously over HD-SDI or DVI. A routing feature allows you to define where the left and right eye outputs should be. Control depth using two projectors or a special 3D panel.
The stereoscopic DCI Mastering process
Two separate video streams – one for each eye – are merged together when mastering the 3D stereoscopic DCP. The final DCP comprises an interleaved stream having at first the picture for left eye and afterwards the right eye. This follows the DCI specification. The frame rate of this stream must be 48 frames per second and encoded into JPEG2000 file sequences.
