Doremi Rapid and Rapid-2x - Manual (Page 6)

1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The RAPID is a Digital Cinema Mastering Station compliant with DCI specifications. Mastering
and Generation, of a DCP package, is made in two steps:
• Compressing/Encoding video content into JPEG-2000 files following DCI specified
standards using the RAPID Encoder.
• Generating a DCP package using the JPEG-2000 compressed video content and the
audio, subtitle and projector configuration files.
Note: This user manual describes the Encoding Process, refer to the MXF Wrapping User
Manual for information on how to generate a DCP package.
This User Manual also describes the RAPID Player (see Section “RAPID Player” below). It is
recommended that the RAPID Player be used to preview the encoded files to ensure the quality
of the images.
The RAPID Player serves two functions:
1) It can be used to playback compressed and uncompressed files.
2) It can be used to preview the encoded files to ensure their quality (i.e., color, resolution,
sharpness, etc).
Note: This user manual describes the encoding process, refer to the MXF Wrapping User Guide
for information on how to generate a DCP package.
