Ensuring DCI Compliance is a big deal in making sure that your film is able to be presented on many of the world’s most prestigious screens. The Westside Media Group Digital Cinema Packages service takes whatever format your film is in and transcodes all of your channels perfectly to the DCI Compliant Digital Cinema Packages format. The Digital Cinema Packages format is the most widely accepted digital file format for presenting cinema. This file format is based on the JPEG-2000 codec, and features the pristine clarity of both audio and video that you are used to experiencing at the theater.

When transcoding your film between file formats, the transcoding has to be done the right way, and on the best equipment, in order to guarantee that all the depth and richness of both the audio and video is preserved. Not only that, but poor transcoding can lead to sync’ing issues between your audio and video channels. Don’t wait until 90 minutes into your film to figure out why you should have mastered your film with the real pros. Get it done right, by the right people, the first time, and enjoy the results.

For all of your film mastering needs, including creating DCI Compliant Digital Cinema Packages, Westside Media Group has the pride, expertise, and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver a film master that presents your film exactly as you want – pristine, and error-free. With our DCI Compliant Digital Cinema Packages service, your film will be ready to take on the world’s biggest screens.

Contact Westside Media Group to learn more about our DCI Compliant Digital Cinema Packages service, and our other film mastering services today.

AVID Mojo DX Hardware with PCI Host Card – LITE USAGE

Mojo DX I/O & Monitoring Hardware from Avid is an input/output and monitoring solution that enjoys tight integration with your host computer’s CPU and GPU, thanks to the Avid Intelligent Architecture that’s featured in Media Composer, Symphony, and NewsCutter software programs. The integration of Mojo DX with your computer hardware creates a high-bandwidth, high-performance effects engine that optimizes CPU and GPU performance for HD video.

Mojo DX connects to your computer via PCIe. The device offers HD/SD-SDI input and output, as well as analog & digital audio I/O and an HDMI output port for monitoring. It features an RS-422 input for machine control, word clock output, and a BNC input for either blackburst or tri-level reference sync, helping you integrate the device with the facility’s broader video system.

The I/O hardware features onboard support for thin raster, which means Mojo DX shoulders the burden of stretching anamorphic footage (e.g., 1440 x 1080 frames) so your host computer’s resources are free for other tasks.
