M I S T is the unique professional solution delivering an interactive DCP mastering process in a large number of configurations. Customers can choose between software only options and turn-key solutions with 2K or 4K hardware acceleration, according to their needs and budget.
Marquise Technologies announced today the new powerful DCI mastering features available for the DI deck M I S T.
The DCI mastering in M I S T is an option providing a tool-set of functionalities for mastering and encoding a DCP in real-time. The assembling of the elements needed for the package and their control are done naturally in the Time Line of M I S T, giving the ability to control the process at any time. Whatever the digital source master is made of, no need to pre-transcode, as M I S T works natively with all major formats, including DPX, TIFF, Apple ProRes, QuickTime, Sony XDCAM or H264 from DSLRs like Canon 5D, independently of resolution or frame rate.

M I S T DCI Mastering option is not only encoding a compliant DCP in SMPTE or JPEG Interop, but also much more. It allows an immediate visualization of the master on a DCI projector, regardless of format or color space, permitting the color integrity control in theater mode.
The editing, afterthoughts or modifications of the master are always possible, through the management of all DCP assets (video, audio, subtitles) in a traditional timeline. The subtitles are fully supported, with the ability to read and edit them, leaving the choice of either export them in the DC package, or to burn them in the image.
The final encoding of the DCP is done with all precautions, for ensuring the integrity of the deliverables and their internationalization, through the aid of DCP’s name creation tool and the support of facility code tables. Encoding is real-time in 2K, and also available for 4K, accelerated by a JPEG2000 encoder board.
Flexibility remains with the manipulation of DCPs: the same hardware allows a real-time playback of the DCP. The versioning and repackaging of the files are managed like any other projects, including the MXF Interop (or MPEG Interop) support for new standard changes.
“M I S T allowing the export and output to any media and format, the DCP support was a natural step. M I S T is now the most comprehensive tool on the market, from the acquisition and processing of dailies, to the media conforming and finally the broadcast and DCI mastering.” says Laurence Stoll, CEO at Marquise Technologies.
The DCP encryption features and KDM management tools will be available in Quarter 3, 2012.
