About this Guide
This guide provides detailed information about the JPEG 2000 Encoder software, including
software installation and encoding procedure. In this guide, “J2KENC” refers to the
lite version of JPEG 2000 Encoder and “J2KENC-PRO” refers to the full version. Notes
distinguish where the two versions differ.
About the JPEG 2000 Encoder
The Extron JPEG 2000 Encoder is available in two versions on the disc that is shipped with
the JMP 9600 JPEG 2000 Media Player. These two versions are:
z
JPEG 2000 Encoder “Lite” — Provided free of charge to all purchasers of the
JMP 9600. This version is the default when the JPEG 2000 Encoder software is first
installed on your encoding computer. The application has basic functionality powerful
enough for situations that require encoding short clips with a single audio (stereo) file.
z
JPEG 2000 Encoder “Full” — When the license and activation key are received from
Extron, all functionality of the full version is enabled without further software installation
(the full version is loaded as part of the initial installation on the encoding computer but
is disabled until licensed).
The software runs on Microsoft
®
Windows
®
7 or Windows XP operating systems and
allows you to prepare content for playback on the JMP 9600 without the need for external
encoding services. It constructs visually lossless MXF wrapped Digital Cinema Package (DCP)
files. The DCP includes video, audio, and other associated data encoded to comply with the
DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives, LLC) requirements for unencrypted content. The DCPs that
are generated by the JPEG 2000 Encoder are subsequently transferred to the JMP 9600 for
playback.
