The cinemas can run DCPs on their own, whereas the diversity of non-standard digital source formats would be much more problematic. It means we don&#8217;t have to spend a lot of money putting extra equipment, and the extra staff needed to run it, into all our venues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rice feels\u00a0the advantage DVS Clipster has over the many other DCP encoding technologies out there is speed. \u201cIt has the power and range to meet our requirements,\u201d he qualifies.\u00a0\u201cIt converted more than 100 hours of content to DCP in the space of the couple weeks before EIFF.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9645\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9645\" class=\"wp-image-9645 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/fbdimg\/2014\/06\/Hyena-Opening-Ceremony-EIFF-2014.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chris Fujiwara at the Hyena Opening Ceremony, Edinburgh Festival Theatre, June 2014.

All of the screens in EIFF cinemas are now served by digital projectors. \u201cWe have a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, with many terabytes of storage, onto which we load as many DCPs as possible for transfer out to our main external venue,\u201d Rice explains. \u201cRather than having to send a hundred or so individual hard drives down to another site, we load them all onto the NAS, which fits in a carrier bag, and then take that to the venue and integrate it with the existing LMS system. This reduces logistical complexity, and also reduces the workload for the cinema venue, as they don&#8217;t need to ingest all the DCPs individually. We&#8217;re now starting to work with the CAN network, and with their help we hope in future to remove physical transfer completely, by transferring all the required DCP content out to participating cinemas via a fibre network connection.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9587\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9587\" class=\"wp-image-9587 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/fbdimg\/2014\/06\/OpeningNight_190613_LS_028.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"OpeningNight_190613_LS_028\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/OpeningNight_190613_LS_028.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/OpeningNight_190613_LS_028.jpg?resize=480%2C320&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/OpeningNight_190613_LS_028.jpg?resize=510%2C340&amp;ssl=1 510w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EIFF 2013 Opening Night<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Digital cinema technology has also significantly improved the flexibility with which the EIFF can schedule films in different cinemas. \u201cOne DCP can be loaded on multiple servers, says Rice. \u201cThis is superior logistically to a 35mm print, which can only be shown in one place at a time, so moving films between venues for their showings is less problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only cinema where EIFF can run archival 35mm print requiring a two projector changeover system for 35mm is Filmhouse. \u201cRetrospective screenings have generally had to be restricted to Filmhouse,\u201d says Rice. \u00a0\u201cNow that an increasing number of older films are becoming available on DCP, or can be made into DCP from existing high quality digital masters, we have more options to schedule certain films at any venue we wish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to EIFF, the same team also operates Filmhouse in Edinburgh, and now the Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen, with year-round cinema programmes at both sites, including lots of smaller festivals. \u00a0\u201cWe additionally put out the occasional nationwide theatrical film releases, and we also have other stand-alone projects,\u201d says Rice. \u201cFor example, for &#8216;Cinema of Childhood&#8217;, we revived more than fifteen older films from around the world and toured them to eighty sites around the UK. \u00a0We make heavy use of our DCP encoding capabilities to service our year-round programming, including various smaller festivals, as well as other projects such as theatrical distribution or major film touring programmes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe now offer DCP encoding services to external clients on a commercial basis, or indeed sell on the DCPs we&#8217;ve already created for EIFF or other projects,\u201d adds Rice. \u201cThis is a service that&#8217;s really helped us support local filmmakers. \u00a0So as well as revolutionising the convenience, security, and logistics of implementing EIFF, our DCP encoding capabilities have opened up a wide range of other possibilities for programming and distribution projects, while also becoming a whole new income stream for our business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9583 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/fbdimg\/2014\/06\/WhatMaisieKnew200613_LS_007.jpg?resize=800%2C517&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"WhatMaisieKnew200613_LS_007\" width=\"800\" height=\"517\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/WhatMaisieKnew200613_LS_007.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/WhatMaisieKnew200613_LS_007.jpg?resize=495%2C320&amp;ssl=1 495w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firedbydesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/WhatMaisieKnew200613_LS_007.jpg?resize=526%2C340&amp;ssl=1 526w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/517;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alternative content, such as live theatre or concert footage streamed to cinemas, is another stream of revenue enabled by digital cinema technology.
