Delivering DCP and IMF

For projects requiring Digital Cinema Package (DCP) or Interoperable Master Format (IMF) mastering for digital cinema or broadcast distribution, DaVinci Resolve allows native DCP and IMF encoding and decoding for the creation and playback of unencrypted DCP and IMF deliverables, or it can be integrated with Fraunhofer’s easyDCP application in order to master fully encrypted DCP files, play them back for testing, and generate Key Delivery

Messages (KDMs) for theatrical distribution, all directly within DaVinci Resolve.


This means you can encode a DCP or IMF master straight from your program’s source media, all within the 32-bit floating point image processing pipeline of DaVinci Resolve, for the highest possible quality result.
