SMPTE
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers - A global organization, based in the United
States, that sets standards for baseband visual communications. This includes film as well
video standards.

4:2:2
A commonly used term for a component digital video format. A ratio of sampling frequencies
used to digitize the luminance and color difference components (Y, R-Y, B-Y) of a video signal.
It is generally used as shorthand for ITU-R 601. The term 4:2:2 describes that for every four
samples of Y, there are two samples each of R-Y and B-Y, giving more chrominance bandwidth
in relation to luminance compared to 4:1:1 sampling.

4:4:4
Similar to 4:2:2, except that for every four luminance samples, the color channels are also
sampled four times.

Overview
• What is Resizing?
• Resizing with the arrow keys
• Resizing with direct user input
• Letterbox function

Displaying test patterns to check resizing: make sure the anamorphic lens factor is set
correctly.

Resizing images are only give as an illustration to explain the principle. There is a dif-
ference between the DP30-DP50 and DP100-DP90.

4.8.5.1 What is Resizing?


Definition
With the resizing tool it is possible to adapt the projected image on the screen size (defining the area
available for image display). So, look always to the screen when resizing the image.
The projector will always attempt to keep the image centered within this defined area, and the correct
aspect ratio of the image will always be preserved.
The key function that determines how the image will be displayed is the Letterbox function. For a more
detailed explanation, see "Letterbox function", page 60.

As the D-Cine Premiere project an image under an angle, the original image will be shown
as trapezium.
The image will be squared with the masking function by masking the shaded areas.

4.8.5.2 Resizing with the arrow keys

Click on to return to the initial values for the selected dots while resizing the image.

Before starting the resizing, it is preferable to select a test pattern.

How to resize?

3. Select a red button (indicated by an arrow in the image 4-38) by clicking on it. To select both buttons
together, select first one button, hold the shift key down and select the second button.
A selected button becomes clear red.
4. Move the selected button by pressing on the arrow keys on your keyboard.
Or,
by pressing the arrows of the keypad interface.
Note: The representation on the interface is not an exact representation of the resizing on the screen.
Therefor, always look to the screen to see the exact resizing.
The image will move in the direction of the clicked arrow. Yellow arrows on the interface image will
indicate the direction. The values in the corner will change accordingly. (image 4-40)
5. When finished, press Exit to return to the Projector Configuration menu.
Note: Before pressing Exit, it is possible to save the screen setting. see "Saving Screen Settings while

Function
The letterbox function determines how the image will be displayed.
If Letterbox enabled is checked, the system will show all of the original image data on the screen. This
may require that the system letterbox the image, either on the top and bottom, or left and right side.
If Letterbox enabled is not checked, the system will fill all the screen with image data. This may require
that the system discard image data, either from the top and bottom, or the left and right side.
The following two examples show what will be displayed based on the state of the letterbox function.

4.9.3.3 Frame rate multiplication


Introduction
The system provides the capability to do frame rate multiplication based on an N/M system.
For this system, M and N are defined as follows:
• M is defined as the number of input frames of data (defined by input vertical sync) that are required to
constitute a full frame of image data. This parameter is used to determine the “base” or “full” image
frame rate for the input data, in the form: Base rate (Hz) = Input frame rate (Hz) / M.
• N is defined as the number of frames of data to be displayed during a base rate time. This parameter
is used to determine the output vertical rate, in the form: Output rate (Hz) = Base rate (Hz) * N
The following are a few examples:
Example 1:

• Full frame of picture data input each vsync, therefore M = 1


• One frame of picture data output each base rate, therefore N = 1
E.g. 24 Hz input, 24 Hz output (Normal projector use)
Example 2:

• ½ frame of picture data input each vsync, therefore M = 2


• frames of picture data output each base rate, therefore N = 4
E.g. LR data input at 48Hz, LRLR output at 96Hz (LRLR 3D)
4:2 is generally used for 3D.

4.9.3.4 3D Test pattern


What can be done?
With the 3D test pattern, it is possible to test the complete setup in combination with an external polarizer
system, or active polarity glasses. The output frequency of the test pattern can be entered so that the
simulation of the input signal is completely.

Entering the output frequency


1. Click in the input field next to the test pattern icon. (image 4-105)
2. Enter the new frequency with the keyboard.

Image 4-105
3D test pattern

How to check the complete setup


1. Click on the test pattern icon to run the test pattern.
A 3D test pattern generated on the interface board will be displayed.
Alternating, the left and the right pattern will be displayed.
For the best test pattern and to display the pattern for the left or the right eye:
- set the frequency on 48 Hz
- set frame rate multiplication on 4:2
- set 3D control, 3D L/R Input Reference on White Line Code True or Blue Line Code True.
- set 3D L/R Display Reference GPI on one of the GPIs.
- set 3D L/R Display Reference on Use assigned GPI (polarity = true)
- set 3D Dark Time Adjustment, 3D L/R Output Reference Delay and 3D L/R Output Reference Polarity
as needed.
Either the left or the right eye pattern will be displayed.
When e.g. the left pattern (indicated with L) is displayed, only the left eye may see this image. When it
is not so, the setup is wrong and should be corrected.
2. Change the 3D setting L/R Display Reference to Use assigned GPI (polarity = false).
When the left patterns was displayed, now the right pattern will be displayed. Only the right eye may
see this pattern. When it is not so, the setup is wrong and should be corrected.

About <White Line Code> or <Blue Line Code>


The White/Blue Line Code is an embedded methodology for specifying whether a specific frame of input
data has left or right eye data.

• The bottom pixel-row of the left-eye subfield should be pure white (blue) for the left-most 25% of the
pixel-row, and pure black for the remainder of the row.
• The bottom pixel-row of the right-eye subfield should be pure white(blue) for the left most 75% of the
pixel-row, and pure black for the remainder of the row.

The system will only sample the blue channel, allowing the external user to use either White or Blue Line
Code. The system will blank out the encoded line so that it is not displayed.
This mechanism is only relevant when using a single stream input. The input reference is encoded in the
content. (Information is on R, G and B channels).
This information can also be on blue channel only (Blue line bottom) Blue Line Code.

Input frame dominance


Only relevant for dual stream input.
The frames are arriving at the same time, but they will be inserted sequentially.
Insert order selection:
• Left (L1, R1, L2, R2 ...)
• Right (R1, L1, R2, L2 ...)

L/R Display Reference


The optional 3D L/R Display Reference signal is used to specify which frame of eye data is to be displayed
during a specific display frame. This signal is referenced to the display frame rate which is specified by the
Frame Rate Multiplication command. The system will sample this reference in the middle of each display
frame, inverting the sample for use during the following display frame.

Dark Time Adjustment


Between switching the frames the image needs to be black the same time the external devices need to
switch (external devices can be 3D Glasses, or polarizing filter).
For 3D applications, systems typically need a period of time where the image projected on the screen is
black. This black or “dark time” is used to switch the mechanism that controls what a viewers left eye and
right eye sees. This software command is used to adjust the projector dark time to meet the requirements
of whatever switching mechanism is being used.
3D dark time adjustment will be disabled (set to 0) whenever 3D is disabled. With 3D enabled and 3D
dark time adjustment disabled, the projector will be set to its default dark time of approximately 388 µs.
There is no dark time when 3D is disabled.
The system will have a minimum and maximum dark time that can be achieved. If the specified value is
smaller than the system can provide, the dark time will be set to the systems minimum value, which will
be reported as the actual dark time value. If the specified value is larger than the system can provide, the
dark time will be set to the systems maximum value, which will be reported as the actual dark time value.

For 3D applications, systems typically need a period of time where the image projected on the screen is
black. This black or “dark time” is used to switch the mechanism that controls what a viewers left eye and
right eye sees. For most 3D applications, the system will provide an output reference signal that indicates
whether left or right eye data is being displayed, as well as the start of dark time. This signal is the 3D L/R
Output Reference.

• Assign an Ethernet address via DHCP for the TI boards
• Manually assign an Ethernet address for the TI boards
• Assign an Ethernet address via DHCP for the Barco controller (only for DP100-DP90)
• Manually assign an Ethernet address for the Barco controller

5.3.1 Ethernet Connections

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

102 R5976166 D-CINE COMMUNICATOR 11/04/2006


5. Projector Configuration

For a DP100-DP90
In the user interface of the D-Cine Communicator two IP addresses can be changed:
• TI IP address – Cinema IP Address: this IP address is used as the primary access point. This is the
IP address used by the D-Cine Communicator and servers. The servers need to connect to the TI
interface board to send over Metadata and Subtitle data.
• Barco IP address – Projector IP Address: This IP address is used as the secondary access point.
This IP address is used to update the Barco controller DIM PC. It will also be used for third parties
that would like to integrate the projector into a custom system. E.g. Post houses that want to control
a projector through a Creston Controller.
When the projector is set up in a network configuration, those 2 different Ethernet address should be
applied to the projector.
Both Ethernet interfaces, from TI boards and from the Barco controller, are internally connected to a built-in
Ethernet Hub. Both Ethernet ports on the connection panel are also connected to that built-in Ethernet
hub. This hub detects automatically if a straight or crossover cable is used and adjusts this internally. Both
straight and crossed cable can be used.

For a DP50 or DP30


When the projector is set up in a network configuration, only one Ethernet address should be applied to
the projector. Only the TI boards are addressable via Ethernet. A crossed cable must be use to connect
a PC to the Ethernet port.

After changing any Ethernet configuration setting, it is NECESSARY to reset/restart the


projector’s electronics

Subnet mask
A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local
area network.

Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a
local network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the
Internet.

DNS server
Computers, Projectors connected to a network are referenced by their IP address. The only
problem is that remembering IP addresses is not easy. If you need to use hundreds of ad-
dresses then it will become impossible to remember them. This is why domain names are cre-
ated. Internet names (domain and host names) are just aliases to these IP addresses. When
you use an Internet address it is automatically translated to an IP address. In fact a program
or device that translates those Internet names to IP addresses is called a DNS Server.

Host name
This is the name that will be returned, along with the IP address in response to the UDP broad-
cast query for projectors.

R5976166 D-CINE COMMUNICATOR 11/04/2006 103


5. Projector Configuration

DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network
administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organi-
zation’s network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet
needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection
to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP ad-
dress must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location
in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network ad-
ministrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends
a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

UDP
User Datagram Protocol

What should be set up for each Ethernet address


2 ways can be used to assign addresses:

• use the DHCP setting so that a automatic address will be assigned.


• Assign manually an IP address, Subnet-mask, default gateway and DNS server address.
- Set the IP-Address field to the desired value. This must NOT be 0.0.0.0 for static IP-Address as-
signment. The IP address identifies a projector’s location on the network in the same way a street
address identifies a house on a city block. Just as a street address must identify a unique residence,
an IP address must be globally unique and have a uniform format.
- Set the Subnet-Mask as appropriate for the local subnet.
- Set the Default-Gateway to the IP-Address of the local router (MUST be on the local subnet!) on
the same network as this projector that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local
network. This must not be 0.0.0.0. If there is no router on the projector’s local subnet then just set
this field to any IP-Address on the subnet.
- Set the DNS server address to the IP address if the DNS server obtained from your network ad-
ministrator or Internet Service Provider. That address can be any address. The DNS Server might
be used in future releases to support the projector subtitling mechanism.

5.3.2 Assign a hostname to the projector

When using the type of projector as part of the hostname, the correct pictographic will
be displayed in the connection window. Otherwise a standard pictographic will be used.

How to set up
1. Click on the TI button. (image 5-6)
Note: For DP30 and DP50, the second part of the window (Barco settings) will be grayed out.
The Network settings window will open.
2. Click in the input field next to Hostname.

MACRO
A macro is file that contains a sequence of commands, internally to the projector, that must be
executed.

What is possible
This interface enables the user to configure the automation system that is present inside the projection
head (standard GPI configuration). The D-Cine Communicator enables the user to couple a macro file to
a rising edge or falling edge on one of the inputs of the GPI connector (DB37).

Next to this standard GPI connector, there are also GPIOs on the button module and
eventually on the optional automation modules.

6.2.1 Introduction
About Active Area
The active area within a source frame equals the relevant movie information within the movie stream. E.g.:
1280 x 1024 movie can be mastered in a 1920 x 1080 stream.
Only the 1280 x 1024 frame contains the relevant movie information. In this case, the active area is 1280
x 1024.

The original input color space (source colors) can be converted by 9 free coefficients C i and 3 offset coef-
ficient, one for each color. These 9 coefficients (C i) determine the relation between the input color space
and the output color space. When the coefficients on the diagonal from left up to right under are 1 and all
others are 0, then the input colors will be displayed as output colors if there is no offset.

G C1 C2 C3 G in - Gin offset Gout offset


R = C4 C5 C6 x R in - Rin offset + Rout offset
B C7 C8 C9 B in - Bin offset Bout offset
Image 6-29

The contrast, saturation, brightness and hue are modifiers applied on top of the C i and offset parameters.
The matrix is still used, as a base or starting point. The reason CSC files include Brightness, Contrast,
Saturation and Hue is that it gives the SCS creator the ability to ensure that they are all set to neutral
values. (neutral values are : contrast and saturation on 1, brightness and hue on 0).
Color space conversion takes place after resizing.

Color space sliders overview

The values installed by the software sliders will be translated to the appropriate hardware setting. Each
setting is split up in the 3 color components.
Ranges for the different settings :
• Brightness : -0.5 to 0.5
• Contrast : 0 to 2
• Hue : -180 degree to 180 degree
• Saturation : 0 to 2
The hue control is only used in the YUV color space. In the standard procedure the 3 hue values would
be linked together as otherwise the color difference signals are no longer orthogonal.
The saturation values are normally linked together, but in some cases it can be useful to have a deviation.

6.4.4.2 Possible adjustments


Overview
The following adjustments are possible for each setting:
• Adjusting color per color
• Adjusting the linked colors
• Leveling the values to those of one specific color.
For more explanation on how to adjust, see "The use of the sliders", page 127.

When using one of these adjustments the hardware will not perform the conversion as
indicated in the color space matrix.

Color Correction in Post Production is done on a Digital Intermediate. In traditional systems, the film needs
to be plotted and projected on a 35mm system before a colorist can check the final film look.

Film production

The process of plotting on a certain film stock and projecting it on a 35mm film results in a color transfor-
mation.
3D Color Lookup tables can be generated to simulate this process. If such a 3D Lookup tables is activated
in the projector, the projector output will match the projection of the 35mm print.
This allows the post house to check the final film look on a digital projector, without having to plot and
project a 35mm film.
To generate these 3D lookup tables, a set of film patches needs to be plotted. These patches have to be
projected on a film projector. These patches need to be measured on screen.
Also the behaviour of the DLP cinema projector needs to be modelled with a set of patches.
From the measurements taken on both systems one can create a 3D LUT.
The D-Cine Communicator does not have a GUI to generate 3D lookup tables. Custom 3D cubes can
be created by using the file format described in the Appendix. The custom tables can be uploaded and
activated by using the D-Cine Communicator file manager (Change view to LUT-CLUT). (see chapter "9.
File Manager", "Changing the view", page 174, select LUT_CLUT)
Instead of using a 3D cube, one can use a 1D Color transformation to match the 35mm process. This can
be done by creating a custom Gamma Lookup table. This process is also referred as Grayscale tracking.

About Gray scale tracking


First refer to see chapter "6. PCF Editor", "Introduction", page 140 before continuing.
Instead of using a 3D cube, one can use a 1D Color transformation to match the 35mm process. This can
be done by creating a custom Gamma Lookup table. This process is also referred as Grayscale tracking.

6.6.2 Creating you own gamma table


Introduction
A set of film patches must be created with values that range from 1 (represents a full black screen) to 1024
(represents a full white image). This patch of different gray scale images must be printed on a 35 mm film
and projected with a 35 mm film projector. For each gray scale value, the luminance must be measured.
To calculate a corresponding gamma lookup table, an Excel spreadsheet is provided.

Steps to be taken
1. Create a patch of different gray scale image.
2. Plot this patch on a 35 mm film.
3. Project the film with a 35 mm film projector.
4. Measure the luminance for each gray scale value.
5. Open the Excel sheet Makelut.xls and enable macros. (image 6-41)
Note: Check in Tools > AddIns if Analyse ToolPak and Solver Add-in are checked.
6. Enter the gray scale value in column 1 and the measured value in column 2. (image 6-42)
7. Click on Save LUT.

Overview
• Introduction
• Color selection
• Color coordinate of a point
• Gain (luminance) of a color
• White point adjustment in Normal mode
• White Point Tolerance Box
• White Clipping Mode
• Adding a Remark or Copyright notice

6.7.1 Introduction
Overview
The projector’s 3 primary, 3 secondary color points and the white point can be defined independently in
Normal mode. The White Clipping point can be defined in the White Clipping mode. This is what is called
the P7 color correction scheme.
Conventional system designs have three primaries. The electronics of these systems can control only the
primaries and white through the use of degamma or a 3x3 matrix. If the white or primary point is moved,
then the secondaries are constrained to move with the white point.
The seven primary system (P7) however allows for the primaries and secondaries and white to move
independently!
The Native color coordinates for the projected primary colors have to be measured on screen. The projec-
tor’s native colors will be different from setup to setup. This is due to the reflection on the screen, due to
the influence of the glass between the projection booth and the theatre or other environmental parameters.

148 R5976166 D-CINE COMMUNICATOR 11/04/2006


6. PCF Editor

These measured native color coordinates are references for the projector and will be entered so that the
projector knows how its primary native colors are projected on the screen. These measured colors are
stored into MCGD files.
The color corrected P7 points can move within the triangle of the native points. The P7 data can be found
in a TCGD File.
The square points on the chromaticity diagram represent the native colors of the projector. These points
are obtained via the Measure Color Gamut measuring in the Color Gamut tab. The triangle between these
points represent the color gamut (colors) that the projector can project.

Image 6-53
Chromaticity diagram

Note that it is common practice to set the targets outside the native gamut (P7v2 does this with Cyan and
Yellow). This implies there would be clipping if a fully saturated input was applied. In normal scenes, this
does not happen, and the extra gain or saturation helps balance the overall look. If clipping occurs, the
output section of P7 clips R, G and B separately. This means that there will typically be a hue shift when
one of R, G, B goes into clip ahead of the others. Another way of describing this is that as a color trajectory
hits the gamut boundary (of the projector optics), it will make a sharp turn and follow the gamut boundary,
rather than increasing in saturation. This is similar to the way film and other RGB systems clip.
The circular points represent the corrected colors. These corrected colors are the desired colors to project
a specific movie. All six points can be moved in any direction to obtain the desired value.
The white point can be defined exactly (as one point) or within a tolerance box.

6.7.4 Gain (luminance) of a color


About
In Normal mode, the gains or luminances of the colors are normalized to the luminance of white. Lowering
the gain of white will increase the gain of the other colors.
In White Clipping Mode, the gains of luminances of the colors are normalized to the luminance of white
clip (W-clip). Lowering the gain of W-clip will increase the gain of the other colors, including white. When
in White Clipping Mode, the gain of white can be changed individually without influencing the gain of the

A delta value is calculated (3). The delta value is the orthogonal distance between the white point and
the D-illuminant curve. (image 6-64)
3. Change the white point coordinates as you change the color coordinates of another color, see "Color
coordinate of a point", page 150
The corresponding temperature value changes accordingly.
Or,
change the temperature value to the desired value by clicking on the up/down arrow or by entering the
new value with the keyboard.
The coordinates for the chosen white point change accordingly.
4. Change the gain for white in the same way as for the other colors, see "Gain (luminance) of a color",

About Delta value


The Delta value expresses the deviation of the point (x,y) towards the D-illuminant curve, measured on
the isotemperature lines through that white point on the (u,v) chromaticity diagram.
Delta (∆) is positive if the point is positioned above the D-illuminant curve and negative when below this
curve.

6.7.6 White Point Tolerance Box


Why used
The white point tolerance box defines a region (four corners of a tolerance box) within which the corrected
white point can vary. The corrected white point will always move to the nearest possible point to the native
white point, but it will always remain within the tolerance box.
A white point tolerance box is introduced to loose a minimum of light when white point color correction is
performed. The maximum light output is obtained when the white point of the movie matches the native
white point of the projector.

The four corner points of the white point tolerance box must be entered in an order such that the lines of
the box do not cross each other. E.g. enter clockwise or anti-clockwise.

How to setup a tolerance box


1. Check first the use of the tolerance box (1). (image 6-67)
Note: When checked, the x, y coordinates entered in the white point coordinates box will not be used
anymore.
2. Select point 1, first corner of the tolerance box (2).
The color coordinates and corresponding temperature will be filled out in the White point coordinates
box.
3. Change the value in the same way as for the white point, see "White point adjustment in Normal mode",
page 153.
The result of the movement will be seen in the inlay of the chromaticity diagram. (image 6-68)
4. Repeat for step 2 for the other 3 corner points.

6.7.7 White Clipping Mode


About White Clip
In addition to the TCGD white point, there can optionally be a ’White Clip’ point. This point is used for the
gain normalization, instead of the white point. This is useful for large gamut encoding systems, such as
XYZ, where the encoding white point (Illuminant E at x,y=0.333,0.333) is not the white point of the image
data (which is nominally 0.314, 0.351 for digital cinema). If this were not done, the normalization would
cause the projector to lose 15% to 25% of its contrast and dynamic range.
The white clip point can also specify a luminance. This allows further adjustment of overall P7 gain. This
can be used in post-production to match the luminance of several TCGDs, without adjusting lamp current.
In white clipping mode the white point gain can be changed without changing the gain of primary and
secondary colors. The gain of the primary and secondary points is normalized to the gain of the white
clipping point. In normal operating mode the gain of primary and secondary points are normalized to the
gain of the white point.

8. Color Calibration

8. COLOR CALIBRATION
Overview
• Introduction to Color Calibration
• Color Correction

8.1 Introduction to Color Calibration


Overview
The color coordinates for the projected primary colors must be measured on the screen. The values can
be different than those originally inside the projector due to reflection on the screen or due to the influence
of the glass between the projection booth and the theatre and even the projected colors are different from
setup to setup.
These measured color coordinates are references for the projector and will be entered so that the projector
knows how its colors are projected on the screen.
This reference measuring, together with the delivered gamut file of the film will introduce a color correction
so that the film will be projected with the correct color settings.

8.2 Color Correction


Overview
• Color Correction Process
• Color Measuring
• Installing a Target Color Gamut file
• Verifying the colors after correction

8.2.1 Color Correction Process


Step to be taken
1. Measuring of the color gamut of the projector.
2. Select a target color gamut file or upload a target color gamut file.
3. Verify the colors on screen after correction (optional step).

While executing step 2, the previous color corrections on the projector will be removed.
3D tables are bypassed.

When standard processing is selected the cinema color correction is not valid. The
active TCGD data is not taken into account.

8.2.2 Color Measuring

CAUTION: Set anamorphic lens factor to 1.0 before starting the color measuring.

How to measure
1. Click on Measure Color Gamut. (image 8-1)
The Color Gamut Measurement window will be displayed showing the actual color values. (image 8-2)
2. Select a color by clicking on the color name. (image 8-3)
A loading color test pattern message will be displayed. After a while, the selected color will be projected
without any color correction on the screen. (image 8-4)
The selected input fields of that specific color becomes white.
3. Measure the color coordinates for that specific color.
4. Enter the measured coordinates in the white input fields. Enter just the digits of the decimal value.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other colors and for white by starting at step 2.
6. Do you want to use the color calibration values in a macro file?
If yes, press Save to file (image 8-3).
Tip: This is handy when using the same projector for normal cinema projection and for 3D cinema
projection. The color calibration can then be done via a macro file but first, both color calibration
files must be saved.
The Save measured colors to file window opens.
If no, continue with step 8.
7. Enter a name in the Filename input field and press Save.
The color values will be stored for later use.
8. To use the measured values immediately, press now Apply and Exit (image 8-3).
Note: It is still possible to return to the previous coordinates by clicking Cancel.

9.1 Introduction
Overview
The D-Cine Premiere makes use of an internal “disk chip”. This chip contains a file system that can han-
dled in a similar way as a file system on PC. That allows the D-Cine Premiere to make use of files and
directory structures similar to those found on a PC.
The D-Cine Premiere stores the state of the projector in something called ACTIVE. ACTIVE can be com-
pared with a file. Changes made to the projector are immediately reflected in ACTIVE. So ACTIVE always
represents the current state of the system. When powering up the latest state will be restored.
Within the interface it is possible to manage the internal file system and the ACTIVE configuration.

10. UPDATES
CAUTION: Do not perform any other hardware updates while updating the software.
Never reset the power off the projector while performing software updates.
Never break the connection between your projector and your PC while performing soft-
ware updates.
see "Upgrade Troubleshooting", page 203 if such an event would occur.

Overview

• General Updates
• Other individual upgrades
• Upgrade Troubleshooting

10.1 General overview


Updating
The D-Cine package contains only Barco updates. TI updates are done via a separate software package
(see "Updating TI boards", page 319).
The D-Cine Communicator enables the user to update Barco software and relevant settings to the D-Cine
Premiere module.

Way of updating for DP30 and DP50


There are three ways to update from a D-Cine package file:
• once a serial connection to RS232/RS422 and once a Serial connection to LoopIN/Out (Serial Bus
mode) to update the controller software.
• once a Ethernet connection and once a Serial connection to LoopIN/Out (Serial Bus mode) to update
the controller software. These method goes fast.
• the complete update via a Serial connection to Loop IN/Out but that can take 2 hours.

Way of updating for DP100-DP90


Updating should always be done via an Ethernet connection. Two connections are possible:
• Connect via the projector’s Barco IP address (preferred way).
• connect via the TI/Cinema IP address. This address must be within the same range as the Barco IP
address.

Upgrade recommendations
• When using Windows® XP with service pack 2, disable the internal firewall.
• For DP100-DP90, put the Barco IP address in the same range as the TI IP address (restore the IP
address after update to prevent problems with communication to other devices).

R5976166 D-CINE COMMUNICATOR 11/04/2006 195


10. Updates

10.2 General Updates


D-Cine Software updates
All Barco update files are combined in one package file (zip file). This D-Cine software package file con-
tains software, configuration files and file for the file system of the projector.

CAUTION: Do not power down the projector while upgrading.


Do not break the connection between the PC and the projector.

How to update
Updating via an Ethernet connection :
1. Click on D-Cine Update Manager. (image 10-1)
The update manager opens. (image 10-2)
2. Click on Open Package File.
A Browser window opens.
3. Select the package file and click on Open. (image 10-3)
A version check of the hardware is executed at the same time. That means that the update software
version must be compatible with the actual installed hardware version. If there is a difference, a mes-
sage request to replace the hardware component will be displayed. (image 10-4)
After the hardware version check, the software scans the projector to look up the version and the time
stamp of the files actually loaded on the projector. It compares this information with the information in
the package file and builds up a table. The checked items are those which are recommended to be
updated, the background will be light yellow. (image 10-5)
For DP30 and DP50, when updating via the Ethernet connection, the Control Software will not be check
and the background will be dark yellow as this item can only be updated via a serial connection.
When clicking on a file, a short description will be shown in the Description pane.
4. Click on Update now. (image 10-6)
The updating will be started but first a message will be displayed. (image 10-7)
5. Click on Ok, start update now.
When the update is finished, a message will be displayed to indicate how many updates are successful.
(image 10-8)
6. After update, immediately reset the projector.
The connection will be lost.

12. AUTOMATION
Overview
• Introduction
• Creating an Action List

12.1 Introduction
Overview
Each D-Cine Premiere is delivered with one button module. Optionally, it is possible to buy up to 4 general
purpose input output boards (GPIO) for automation purposes of other processes related to the cinema
projection. E.g. opening the curtains, dimming the lights, etc.
Button 1 to 4 of the button module are completely configurable. The 4 lower buttons are always predefined
and cannot be configured. The upper two are for powering on/off the projection head and the lamp. The
lower two are for opening or closing the dowser (shutter).
Each GPIO board has up to 8 configurable inputs. The D-Cine Communicator detects automatically the
automation modules and shows the result in the automation interface.
Pressing on the automation interface one of the configurable buttons of the button module or a button
on an extra GPIO board, opens the configuration panel. Each input of the GPIOs can be configured to

The following process happens :


Image information together with audio data enters the server. Next to it, separate subtitle files in multiple
languages are stored on the same server as well as metadata files.
The operator of the Cinema theatre selects the film and the additional subtitling on the server.
The image data will be sent over the SMPTE292 line to the projector. When the subtitling mechanism is
activated inside the projector, this projector will process subtitle data and timings which are sent over a
Ethernet network to the projector. The projector will render the subtitling in overlay to the image.

14.4.4 Time to live (TTL)


Why used
The TTL (Time to live) is a countdown time-out used to prevent subtitles from being left on the screen
through loss of communication.
The server or D-Cine Communicator will continuously ask for the subtitle status. As long as the ’time to
live’ counter has not been expired and the subtitle status command is executed, this TTL value will be
resetted to its original value set in the TTL interface.
If the TTL value reaches ’0’, the system will disable the subtitle function and the subtitling will be removed
from the screen.

How to set up
1. Click into the TTL input field and select the actual value. Change that value by entering the new value
with the digit keys on your keyboard (the value must be in seconds)
Or,
click on the up or down arrows next to the TTL input field to change the value to the desired one.

14.5 Metadata Control


Metadata
Generally referred to as "data about data" or "data describing other data". More specifically,
information that is considered ancillary to or otherwise directly complementary to the essence.
Any information that a content provider considers useful or of value when associated with the
essence being provided.

Overview
• Introduction
• Steps to be taken for metadata control
• Metadata server
• Metadata file
• Time to live (TTL)
• Metadata Control activation

14.5.1 Introduction
Overview
In case of a digital Cinema projector, Metadata contains all the data the projector needs, to be able to
display a certain content as it should be. Typically the Metadata is the data that we find in PCF files.
Metadata mode means that the server has control over the projector’s active PCF Data. Accessing the
Active PCF data of a projector in Metadata mode from the D-Cine Communicator or touch panel will fail.
Metadata Control needs to be disabled first.

Content of the metadata info


Metadata Control from a server:
• Provides projector setup instructions without operator action
• Contains instructions provided by content creator (PostProduction)
• Information sent from server to projector at start of the movie
• Setup parameters include:
- Target color space (7-point) (TCGD)
- Color space conversion parameters (CSC)
- Gamma (LUT-DG)
- Incoming image size (SOURCE)
- Projector Lookup tables (LUT-AL, LUT-CLUT)

automatically for the correct cable.

The PC’s IP Address MUST be within the same subnet as the projector’s IP Address in
order for communication to be possible. This requires checking the PC’s and projector’s
Subnet-Mask settings.

IP address examples
First example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.100.5
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : Communication possible. PC address is in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
Second example
• PC IP Address : 10.16.236.100
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : No communication possible. PC address is not in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
Third example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.200.1
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : No communication possible. PC address is not in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
The third group in the PC IP address and Projector IP address must be the same.
Fourth example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.200.1
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Remark : Communication possible. PC address is in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address. The
third group in the IP¨ addresses can be any value as the third group in the subnet mask is 0.

B.2 Active Area - Source Configuration File


Overview
This file contains the capture configuration of the data presented to the system. It defines the Active Area.
Background: The active area within a source frame equals the relevant movie information within the movie
stream. E.g. : 1280 x 1024 movie can be mastered in a 1920 x 1080 stream. Only the 1280 x 1024 frame
contains the relevant movie information. In this case, the active area is 1280 x 1024.

B. Appendix : File formats used by the D-Cine Premiere

Notes
1. Data bytes 1-4 refer to the size of the image (or sub-image) of interest that is to be captured from the
active data of the input data stream.
2. Data bytes 5-8 refer to the offset (if any) of the image of interest with respect to the active data of the
input data stream. The offset value is the difference from the center of the image of interest to the
center of the active data of the input data stream. A negative value moves the capture window of the
image of interest up or to the left, a positive value moves the capture window of the image of interest
down or to the right.
3. Bit order and weighting fro the 2’s complement image offset data.

6. If the value zero is placed in the Number Of Columns or Number Of Rows, the system will use the
entire active input.
7. If the value zero is placed in the Horizontal To Vertical Aspect Ratio, the system assumes square
pixels, and calculates the aspect ratio based on the active input.
Example: Aspect Ratio = 0, Active input data = 1280 x 1024: Calculated Aspect Ratio = 5/4
8. The system will use the SMALLER of: Incoming Active Data or Number Of Columns/Number of Rows
in the SOURCE command.
9. The cinema processing path makes use of the size, offset, and aspect ratio parameters available in
this command, while the non-Cinema processing path makes use of the size and offset parameters.

B. Appendix : File formats used by the D-Cine Premiere

Notes
1. Files can be uploaded using the D-Cine Communicator PCF Editor
2. A LUT-AL file can hold :
- One parametric value that is applied to all three colors as a power law function (one 16-bit value)
(example value = 2.65, therefore function applied to the data is x 2.65 )
- Three parametric values, one for each color applied as a power law function (three 16-bit values –
parametric order is G,R,B)
- One full table of data values that is applied to all three colors (4096, 16-bit values).
- Three full tables of data values, one for each color (12288 16-bit values – table order is G,R,B)
The size of the file is automatically determined by the amount of data that is sent. For example, if
4096 16-bit values are sent to a new file starting from location 0, the system will assume that this
is one table that should be applied to all three colors.
3. Bit order and weighting for the signed parametric values.

Notes
1. Files can be uploaded using the D-Cine Communicator (File Manager). In order to make these values
active, the file must be selected using the Select Active button.
2. The I-LUT portion of the LUT-CLUT file can hold:
- An inferred table from 0 to C-LUT size (a straight line), applied to all three colors : Size = 0
- One full table of data values that is applied to all three color : Size = 8192 (4096 16-bit values)
- Three full tables of data values, one for each color : Size = 24576 (12288 16-bit values – table order
is G,R,B)
3. The header information is to be sent once per file. This applies when the data to be sent exceeds the
65535 length maximum.
4. Bit order and weighting for the unsigned I-LUT data.

Image B-9
Bit weight definition for C-LUT of LUT-CLUT
7. When the data for the C-LUT does not end on a byte boundary (which will happen unless the length
of the data is divisible by 4), the extra undefined bits will be ignored by the hardware.
8. While the C-LUT hardware will support a table of approximately 101*101*101 (1,048,576 lattice points),
a software limit on the C-LUT file size (655,360 bytes) currently limits the table size to 49*49*49. A
future compression feature (not yet available) will allow a full table to be represented in compressed
form in 655,360 bytes.
9. For the C-LUT, the physical memory must be configured to be (4*N) + 1 on each dimension (G, R, and
B). For example, for a table to have a dimension of 16, a table must be created with a size of (4*4) +
1 = 17. Each dimension is considered separately, so a table of 17*33*49 can be implemented.
10. Conceptually, there are 3 tables, each with 3 inputs (RGB) and 1 output (R, G, or B). However, the
file is not structured this way. Instead, the GRB output values are stored together, more like a 3 input
- 3 output structure. The header has entries for G, R, and B CLUT sizes. These define the number
of lattice points in each of the input G, R, B dimensions, respectively. The number of points is equal
to the product of the G, R, and B CLUT sizes. These points form a 3-D cube structure, stored such
that the input G dimension varies the slowest, then R, and the B input dimension varies the fastest.
Each of the lattice points is stored as a packed 36-bit GRB triplet, which represents the output GRB
value at that point. So, the CLUT data consists of a series of packed 36-bit GRB output values, stored
in input GRB (row-major) order. If the total number of points does not add up to an even number of
bytes, the end of the data file must be extended with dummy data to maintain byte alignment. For
the convenience of the user, it may also be extended to maintain word or doubleword alignment. The
extra data is ignored by the projector.
11. The copyright notice is user definable. It could be used for other purposed, such as a string identifying
the file. It is ignored by the projector.

B.6 De Gamma Lookup Table (LUT-DG)


Description
Data Byte Description
1 Data (lsb)
2 Data (msb)
3 ... n Data

Notes
1. Files can be uploaded using the D-Cine Communicator (File Manager). In order to make these values
active, the file must be selected using the Select Active button.
2. A LUT-DG file can hold :
- One full table of data values that is applied to all three colors. File lengths for this type of file can
be 512,1024,4096, and 8192 bytes.
- Three full tables of data values, one table for each color (table order is G,R,B). File lengths for this
type of file can be 1536, 3072, 6144, 12288, and 24576 bytes.
- One parametric value that is applied to all three colors as a power law function (ex. value = 2.65,
therefore function applied to the data is x2.65 ) . The file length for this type of file is 2 bytes.
- Three parametric values, one for each color applied as a power law function (parametric order is
G,R,B). The file length for this type of file is 6 bytes.
- The system automatically determines how the file values should be used based on the file size.
Example: File with 1024 bytes (= 512 data values) assumes one full table of values to be applied
to all three colors
Example: File with 6 bytes assumes 3 parametric values, one for each color.
- The system will use the data values as appropriate for the TI hardware.
Example: File with one full table of 1024 data values. If hardware supports 1024, all data values
used.
Example: File with one full table of 1024 data values. If hardware supports 512, every other data
value used.
Example: File with one full table of 512 data values. If hardware supports 1024, each data value
used twice.

B.7 Target Color Gamut Data File (TCGD)


Overview
This file contains the target color gamut data.

340 R5976166 D-CINE COMMUNICATOR 11/04/2006


B. Appendix : File formats used by the D-Cine Premiere

Background: The color coordinates for the projected primary colors must be measured on the screen.
The values can be different than those originally inside the projector due to reflection of the screen or due
to the influence of the glass between the projection booth and the theatre and even the projected colors
are different from setup to setup.
These measured color coordinates are references for the projector and will be entered so that the projector
knows how its colors are projected on the screen. These measured colors are stored into MCGD files.
This reference measuring, together with the delivered color correction file of the film will introduce a color
correction so that the film will be projected with the correct color settings. The color correction data can
be found in this TCGD file.

Notes
1. Files can be uploaded using the D-Cine Communicator PCF Editor.
2. Bit order and weighting for the target color gamut data. These coefficients are 16 bit unsigned frac-
tions. This results in a range of about 0 to 1.

3. The WP_Tol_Box (White Point Tolerance Box) data describes the four corners of a tolerance box within
which the white point can vary. The corners must be entered in an order such that the lines of the box
do not cross, e.g. clockwise or anti-clockwise. Note that use of the tolerance box can be enabled or
disabled.
4. The luminances (Y) of the colors are normalized to the luminance of white. As an example, if Y of white
is equal to 0.5, the effective luminance of the other color points could range from 0 to approximately 2.
5. Use of the white “Tol_Box” and “White_Clip” functions are mutually exclusive. If both are activated,
the “White_Clip” function will take precedence.
6. The next figure shows the bit order and weighting for the White_Clip “Y” value. These are unsigned
values with a range of about 0 to 2.

B.8 Test Pattern TGA™ File


Notes
1. The system supports the TGA™ format as specified in Truevision TGA™, File Format Specification,
V2.0, with the restrictions specified in the next table.

Color Space Bits/Color Sampling Total Bits


w/ alpha5 w/o alpha

RGB 8 4:4:4 32 24

YC bC r 8 4:2:2 - 16

YC bC r 12 4:2:2 - 24

2. TGA™ Image Type support is limited to Uncompressed True Color and Run Length Encoded True
Color
3. The following TIFF™ Fields are also supported as specified in TIFF™ Specification, Adobe Systems
Inc, Rev 6.0. TIFF™ Fields are to be located in the TGA™ Developer Area, with a single “Mark VII”
Developer Directory entry providing TAG value (54), Byte Offset, and Field Size. TIFF™ data is to be
provided in little-endian byte order.

YC bC r Positioning 531 Short 1 2 = cosited

ReferenceBlackWhite 532 Rational 6

4. The system allows a slight modification in the use of the TGA™ Field Image Data (Field 8) and the
Extension Field Scan Line Table (Field 25). Normal usage has the Image Data Field containing all of
the pixels of the image, with each Scan Line Table offset pointing to the start of a unique scan line of
this image data. The TI modification is to allow each Scan Line Table offset to point to the start of any
scan line in the Image Data field, and to allow the Image Data field to contain less than the full size of
image data. This enables, as an example, the capability of specifying only one line of image data, to
be reference over and over by the scan line table.
5. TGA files are limited in size. Maximum file size is 640k bytes.

5. Alpha data is ignored

Glossary

GLOSSARY

292–DUAL
Input A and input B are combined to 1 input. From a complete signal, part is send to input A and the other
part to input B to reach bigger way through.

4:2:2
A commonly used term for a component digital video format. A ratio of sampling frequencies used to
digitize the luminance and color difference components (Y, R-Y, B-Y) of a video signal. It is generally used
as shorthand for ITU-R 601. The term 4:2:2 describes that for every four samples of Y, there are two
samples each of R-Y and B-Y, giving more chrominance bandwidth in relation to luminance compared to
4:1:1 sampling.

4:4:4
Similar to 4:2:2, except that for every four luminance samples, the color channels are also sampled four
times.

ACTIVE
Stores the current state of the projector.

Aspect ratio
Relation between the horizontal & vertical dimension in which the window will be displayed, e.g. 4 by 3 or
16 by 9.

Button Module Settings


Button module settings contains info on which actions are coupled to each button/input. For manual con-
figuration, see Automation tab.

CLO
Constant light output

CSC
Color Space Converter

Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a local network
(LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.

DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators
manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization’s network. Using the
Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an
organization sets up its computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned
to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer and, if com-
puters move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP
lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically
sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

Glossary

DNS server
Computers, Projectors connected to a network are referenced by their IP address. The only problem is
that remembering IP addresses is not easy. If you need to use hundreds of addresses then it will become
impossible to remember them. This is why domain names are created. Internet names (domain and host
names) are just aliases to these IP addresses. When you use an Internet address it is automatically trans-
lated to an IP address. In fact a program or device that translates those Internet names to IP addresses
is called a DNS Server.

DVI-EDID
Digital Visual Interface – Extended Display Identification Data
DVI sources that are reported to the projector via the VESA E-EDID standard. These will be autodetected
and displayed at the source format size, using standard processing.

GPI
General purpose Input/Output

Host name
This is the name that will be returned, along with the IP address in response to the UDP broadcast query
for projectors.

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Layout
A layout is a collection of windows. These windows are placed on a certain position within the screen.

Lut
Look up table

LUT

Metadata
Generally referred to as "data about data" or "data describing other data". More specifically, information
that is considered ancillary to or otherwise directly complementary to the essence. Any information that a
content provider considers useful or of value when associated with the essence being provided.

Native colors
Native colors are the colors without color correction

Null modem cable


An adapter cable or adapter piece to switch the receive and transmit line within a RS232 cable.
