Our Theater Management System (TMS) is the central mass storage for all DCPs. During the ingest, the system performs an automated short validation of all DCPs to ensure that everything is playable. DCPs are processed so that version files are automatically combined with OV assets, ensuring incomplete VF delivery becomes a thing of the past.
All incoming data is secured in the so-called "ingest" and mirrored daily to another, separate storage. Thus, the most important data is protected with the highest possible protection against, for example, hard disk defects, environmental damage, user error, and all other unlikely events.

Common problems with DCPs, such as the incorrect naming of the playlist or defective or incorrect metadata, are quickly corrected by our team without further ado.
