DCP Quote Form - Comprehensive Quote

Fill out the details on this form to get a detailed quote for your DCP based on the assets you can supply.

ABOUT YOUR FILM
Please complete the form below with regard to the picture and sound assets you will supply for your DCP. We have designed it to give you the most accurate quote we can.
Film Name*
Film Length*
DCP Type
What is your film's current Frame Size?
Measurements are given in pixels.
- 2k Flat: 1998x1080 (Regular)
- 2k Scope: 2048x858 (Cinemascope)
- 2k Full: 2048x1080 (Not advised)
- HD (1920x1080) Regular Video size
- None of the above

NOTE: DCPs display at Flat, Scope or Full in 2K or 4K. No other size is permitted. A different image size can sit within these frames, but this should be used for achive style material only. Anything that is not Flat or Scope is generally considered non-standard and not all cinemas will be able to accommodate the picture correctly. Therefore your film may not display exactly how you intend it at different venues. Please be aware of this.

Is your picture letterboxed within the 1920x1080 frame?
- Yes
- No (full frame image)
Please re-size my picture to fit a Scope ratio.
Re-sizing from HD will scale the image up. Please check you have used a 2.39 mask and not a 2.35 else we may have to do some cropping left and right. If we do not scale up your image may end up both pillar-boxed and letterboxed in a very non-standard way.
- Yes
- No
HD to Scope re-size
Price: £ 0.00
Please resize my image to fit a Flat ratio.
You can leave your film as it is (fitting the height) which will have some black bars on the left and right. These won't be noticeable on most screens. Or we can fit the width but then a small amount of cropping happens to the top and bottom of the picture. Only 2% on each.
- Yes
- No
HD to Flat re-size
Price: £ 0.00
Choose one of the following:
- Please re-size my picture to Flat or Scope appropriately.
- Please do not re-size my picture.
We will contact you to discuss the best options before we make any adjustments to your image. Your image will need to sit within a Flat, Scope or Full container for cinema exhibition.

High frame rate DCP encode surcharge
Price: £ 0.00
There's considerably more data, it takes longer to crunch and more room on our systems.
NOTE: You must supply your source files in the same aspect ratio as chosen above. Otherwise a conversion charge is applicable.
Best File Format you can give us

NOTE: This format is heavily compressed. We do not recommend using this for a DCP conversion. For best results a ProRes 422 HQ or 4444 or a TIFF Sequence generated out of your grade project is advised.

HDCam / HDCam SR digitising surcharge
Price: £ 300.00
A DCP is file based format, we must first convert your tape back into file format.
Your film's current Frame Rate

NOTE: To be truly universal like film DCPs were originally designed to only run at 24 fps. Modern updated DCP projectors can playback at 25 or 48 fps and other frame rates but there are still older systems out there in the world that may not. So you should check the compatibility of your film at the venues you intend to exhibit. If you do not know for certain, we recommend creating a 24 fps DCP.

Please choose from the following:
- Please convert my film to 24 fps to be compatible with solder systems.
- Do not convert my frame rate. I have checked with the venue/festival they can playback a DCP at my chosen fps.
Audio speed change conversion
Price: £ 0.00
Your Audio Soundtrack Mix is...
Stereo to 5.1 conversion
Price: £ 0.00

NOTE: As a matter of course Stereo films are converted to a 5.1 layout. If we do not do this the centre track (used for dialogue) is left empty and the film does exhibit correctly in cinemas. This process does not change the mix or levels of your audio.

DCP ENCODE SUBTOTAL
