6 qubemaster PRO 1 1 Introduction Digital Intermediate Digital Intermediate (DI) refers to the image and sound material in a digital state (file format) where the creative manipulation is carried out on digital equipment. DI post-production encompasses the stage which takes place after production and before digital cinema mastering whereas all of the processes are digital and not analog. The DI workflow can represent the scanning of 35mm film into 2K images, color correction, editing, compositing visual effects and dirt removal. All of the creative manipulation is finalized in this mastering stage producing a Digital Source Master (DSM). The DSM may be output to a film recorder for 35mm cinema release. Or the DSM may be output to a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) for digital cinema release. Digital Cinema Mastering Digital Cinema post-production encompasses the stage which takes place after DI post-production and before exhibition. Digital cinema mastering is the process of conforming the digital image file(s), digital sound file(s), and subtitle file(s), applying compression, (and encryption), and outputting a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) for digital cinema release. Outputting a DCP is the final step in Digital Cinema post-production. A DCP where the content has been encoded JPEG2000 must be DCI compliant. Why DCI? The goal of Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a consortium of movie studios and digital media facilities, is to provide a complete and standardized way to communicate movies between Digital Cinema post-production and exhibition. This standard format is called a Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM). A Digital Source Master (DSM) can be converted into a Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM). What is a DCDM? A DCI compliant Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) is a set of image, audio, subtitles and auxiliary data files containing all of the content required to provide a digital cinema presentation. A

7 2 Introduction DCDM is already conformed to the proper DCI specifications. All of the creative decisions have been finalized in the DI post-production process as well as any conversions from logarithmic to linear, rescaling, or color space conversions. What are the DCDM specifications? Images are TIFF files, 12 bit uncompressed in the XYZ color space mapped into the MXF format. Aspect Ratios 2K scope: 2048x858; 2K flat: 1998x1080 4K scope: 4096x1716; 4K flat: 3996x2160 Audio is a single uncompressed WAV file, 24 bit, fps playback, sampling at 48 khz. QubeMaster Models QubeMaster Pro QubeMaster Pro is a software based digital cinema mastering solution that imports digital images and audio and performs encoding into all supported image compression formats including JPEG2000, MPEG2, VC1, and CineForm with DCI specified encryption and MXF Wrapping. QubeMaster Pro can directly process the Digital Source Master and has the capability to output DCDM image files during the digital cinema mastering process. QubeMaster Pro provides a very powerful mastering interface mimicking the DCI object model. Media files are added to the database as Tracks. Picture, sound and subtitle Tracks are synced accurately to form Reels. Reels are combined to form Compositions. QubeMaster Pro produces standards compliant Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) and Key Delivery Messages (KDMs) for distribution to digital screens. What is a DCP? A DCP is a method to organize and wrap elements to make them suitable for storage and for the transmission to the destination. A DCP is a folder of files (assets) which include the Composition; the complete digital cinema work and the Packing List and Composition Play List; the information and ID for each of the individual files. The DCP can be digitally signed and can be encrypted using AES (advanced encryption standard) encryption. It can then be transported via hard drive, satellite transmission, or network. QubeMaster Xpress QubeMaster Xpress is a software based solution which allows the user to convert slides, animations and videos into ready-to-use Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) that will work on any digital cinema server. QubeMaster Xpress effortlessly guides the user through the process of converting JPEG, TIFF, TGA and BMP images, Flash animations as well as AVI and QuickTime movies into standards compliant DCPs in DCI JPEG2000 and MPEG2 MXF Interop formats.

9 4 2 Workflows Overview Most Digital Cinema post-production workflows fall into one of three categories. Working with a DCDM, a DSM, or compressed digital files. Importing a DCDM A sequence of image files in TIFF format meeting the DCDM specifications and single or multiple channel audio files also meeting the DCDM specifications, are imported into QubeMaster Pro and established as QubeMaster Pro Track Files. Track Files are linked together to form Reels, Reels are grouped to form Compositions and Shows are formed combining one or more Compositions. After the Composition is built, it will need to be encoded (and encrypted) into the JPEG2000 format, packaged as a DCP, after which a KDM can be generated if using encryption. Importing a DSM A Digital Source Master (DSM) in the form of a single or sequence of image files, and single or multiple channel audio files, is imported into QubeMaster Pro and established as QubeMaster Pro Track Files. Track Files are linked together to form Reels, Reels are grouped to form Compositions and Shows are formed combining one or more Compositions. After the Composition is built, it will need to be encoded (and encrypted). Necessary conversions from logarithmic to linear, rescaling, or color space conversion to adhere to the output format specifications require preprocessing in the encoder. After compression, the Composition can be packaged as a DCP, after which a KDM can be generated if using encryption. Importing compressed digital files A previously encoded Digital Source Master (DSM) in the form of a single image file and single or multiple channel audio is imported into QubeMaster Pro, wrapped into the MXF format and established as QubeMaster Pro Track Files. Track Files are linked together to form Reels, Reels are grouped to form Compositions and Shows are formed combining one or more Compositions. After the Composition is built, it can be packaged as a DCP, after which a KDM can be generated. Supported file formats TIF, TIFF, DPX, Cineon, TGA, BMP, MXF, WMV, WMA, M2V, MPG, J2C, SGI, MOV, AVI, WAV, MP4, M4V, 3GP, 3GP2, AMR, AIF, AIFF, FLC, CIF, TI CineCanvas

10 Qubemaster PrO 5 Wrapping When not to Wrap? MXF (Material exchange Format) wrapping will occur during the encoding process. Therefore, when a series of multiple TIFF, DPX, Cineon, BMP, TGA image files are imported into QubeMaster Pro as an Image Sequence Track File, these sequences do not undergo MXF wrapping as they are uncompressed and are too large in nature. This also applies to MOV (QuickTime) and AVI files which are imported as single QubeMaster Pro Track Files. When to Wrap? Wrapping is necessary for compressed supported file types. A compressed series of multiple J2C files can be wrapped after importing into QubeMaster Pro as an Image Sequence Track File. Or wrapping can be done at the Composition level using the Encoder and deselecting Compress. Compressed file types which are imported as single image or audio files and established as QubeMaster Pro Track Files such as M2V, MPEG2 and WMV will be wrapped at the Track Files level. Existing MXF files can be imported and rewrapped with the understanding that an MXF file is a wrapped file. Multiple channel WAV files when imported, are interleaved and simultaneously wrapped via the Interleaver. Importing a single WAV file can be wrapped via the MXF Wrapper UI. Encrypting QubeMaster Pro can perform 128-bit AES encryption and may be done either at the wrapping stage or in the encoder. Either image and/or audio can be encrypted and will be designated with a lock icon in QubeMaster Pro. To Wrap, right click on the QubeMaster Track File icon and select Wrap. Wrap activates the MXF Wrapper dialog box.

11 6 Workflows Select [OK]. Use the Location Browse [ ] function to designate a destination for the file created when wrapping a Track File. Check Wrap and/or Encrypt. Select [Wrap]. Wrapped audio MXF files will always have a channel bit depth of 24 bits. Wrapping adds the prefix Video or Audio to the QubeMaster Track File name. Each wrap function thereafter from the previously wrapped Track File adds an additional prefix Video or Audio to the QubeMaster Track File name.

12 Qubemaster PrO 7 Encoding For delivering a DCI compliant DCP, it is necessary to encode Compositions which have not yet been encoded in the JPEG2000 format. Compositions comprised of previously encoded essence only need to be wrapped and packaged. Otherwise additional compression will cause degradation. This includes M2V, MPEG2, WMV and J2C sequences which are imported into Qubemaster Pro and wrapped into the MXF format. To encode, right click on the QubeMaster Pro Composition icon and select Encode. Encode activates the Encoder dialog box. windows. Adding a handle to the InPoint and/or OutPoint will push the InPoint and/or OutPoint forward from where it is currently defined in the Trim Editor. Scroll (or type directly in the timecode display) to enter a timecode value to add handles to the encoded Composition. Select Process Entire Media to disregard the adjusted In and OutPoints defined in the Trim Editor and process the entire media. Select a Compress function from the drop-down list; DCI JPEG-2000 or MPEG-2. Assign a name for the encoded Composition in the New Composition Name text box. Use the ISDCF naming convention when assigning a name to this new Composition. Use the Media Folder [Browse ] function to designate a destination for the multiple files created when encoding a Composition. Check Encrypt Video and/or Encrypt Audio to perform 128-bit AES encryption simultaneously. Select Process In Out to process from InPoint to OutPoint. Select Process With Handles to activate the In and Out timecode

13 8 Workflows Select a Preprocess function from the drop-down list and add by clicking the add [ ] icon. To delete a Preprocess function, highlight the preprocess function and click the delete [ ] icon. To change the Preprocess order, highlight a preprocess function and click the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow icon. Output MXF Frame Rate Forcing the frame rate in the MXF video file is user definable. By wrapping the image to playback at an alternate speed, frame rate conversion may be bypassed. Since DCI compliant DCPs require the image to playback at 24fps, certain source files may not need to be pulled up or pulled down. For example, set the frame rate in the Output MXF Force Frame Rate drop-down list to 24 for 23.98psf source files and pull up the 23.98fps audio file to 24fps using the Timebase conversion in the Encoder or Interleaver. Output Raw Essence The Encoder can be used to output compressed J2C files. This is useful for converting 3D left and right eye single image files into an image file sequence. For example, in order to create a stereoscopic DCP from two MOV source files, the left and right eye, convert each into a sequence of J2Cs. Import the J2C files into Track Files using the Stereoscopic Image Sequence UI with the frame rate set to 48, build a Composition, wrap in the Encoder with Stereoscopic checked and package. For 25fps source files, set the frame rate in the Output MXF Force Frame Rate drop-down list to 24 and convert the 25fps audio file to 24fps using the Timebase conversion in the Encoder or Interleaver. Encoded audio MXF files will always have a channel bit depth of 24 bits. A stereoscopic Composition should play at 48 fps. The maximum DCI allowed bit rate is 250 Mbps regardless of whether the DCP is 3D or 2D. Therefore, for a 3D DCP, the bit rate distribution occurs over 48 frames; whereas for 2D, it occurs over 24 frames.

14 Qubemaster PrO 9 In the case of left and right eye source MOV files, the source frame rate should be 24fps for each. Encode each MOV file with the JPEG2000 encoder settings set to Maximum bit rate: 125, Average bit rate: 100, Component Maximum bit rate: 100 and check Constrain to DCI. J2C files are dependent on the source frame rate because the encoder settings are selected according to the fps which you imported the source files. And these parameters dictate what the JPEG2000 encoder does when dumping the J2Cs. Encoding JPEG2000 adds the suffix reel-1-jp2k and reel- 1-pcm to the encoded Track File name. And adds reel-1 to the encoded Reel name. Respectively, encoding MPEG-2 adds the suffix reel-1-mpeg2 to the Track File name. When creating DCDMs, the source frame rate and the encoder settings will not affect the DCDMs in any way. Assume that the software internally creates a DCDM and hands it over to the JPEG2000 encoder. When you ask the Encoder UI to dump the DCDM, it just retrieves the DCDMs before they reach the JPEG2000 encoder. Stereoscopic Check the Stereoscopic check box to confirm the encode as stereoscopic. After the encoding process a new Composition icon appears in the Composition pane. QubeMaster Pro creates new Track Files and Reels which are used to build the encoded Composition.

Check Create DCDM in the check box to activate the DCDM selections. Assign a name in the Composition Name text box. This name will name the Tiffs. To create a DCDM, right click on the QubeMaster Pro Composition icon and select Encode. Encode activates the Encoder dialog box. If performing a JPEG2000 encode, assign a name to the Composition in the Composition Name text box. Use the Destination Folder [Browse ] function to designate a destination for MXF files created when encoding a Composition. Select DCI JPEG-2000 from the drop-down list below the Compress check box. Add any necessary preprocessors to

78 Qubemaster PrO 73 Use the Destination Folder [Browse ] function to designate a destination for the folders created when creating DCDMs. The starting reel number determines the number assigned to the Reel of Tiff files and can be set in Edit>Preferences>Encoder. This feature is limited to single reel Compositions. The Start Frame determines the number assigned to the first TIFF file. Select [Start] on the Encoder dialog box to initiate the encode and the DCDM creation. A corresponding Composition, Reel, and dcdm. sequence and pcm.wav file is created in Track Files. After the encoding process a new Composition icon appears in the Composition pane. QubeMaster Pro creates new Track Files and Reels which are used to build the encoded Composition. If your source Composition consisted of left and right files 3D files, the resulting DCDMs will be interleaved. Creating DCDMs adds the suffix reel-1-dcdm to the Composition and Track File name. And adds reel-1-pcm to the audio Track File name. The suffix reel-1 is added to the corresponding Reel name. An individual folder is automatically created for each Reel in the source Composition. The folder will contain the DCDM Tiffs generated for that Reel.

79 74 5 Keys Overview The purpose of encryption is to protect the digital data and secure playback with a key. Using a key insures privacy, authenticity and integrity. Encyrpted Compositions require keys to be provided to the exhibition facility for decrypting (unlocking) the picture and sound files for playback. QubeMaster Pro uses 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) keys as per the DCI standards. After applying encryption and packaging a DCP, the exhibitor must provide the QubeMaster Pro user with an X.509 device certificate (Leaf ) along with its certification chain. The certification chain consists of a trusted root (CA) and intermediate levels of authority (ICA) to authenticate the leaf. Upon receiving the root and intermediate(s), the user imports these certificates into the Windows certificate store on the QubeMaster Pro machine. After the certification authorities are successfully imported, a KDM (Key Delivery Message) can be generated for the encrypted Composition. A KDM is a container for the keys. A KDM can only be understood and processed exclusively by the intended recipient, i.e.: the exhibitor who supplied the X.509 certificate to the mastering facility. The generated KDM(s) can be sent to the exhibitor through any transmission medium, ie.: . When the KDM is ingested into the specific cinema server, the DCP will unlock and playback.

80 Qubemaster PrO 75 Certificate Chain A quick note on SMPTE and MXF Interop KDMs: SHA1 and SHA256 (Secure Hash Algorithm) are methods of securely identifying something by creating what is called a Hash, so that it cannot be modified without detection. The device certificate of a digital cinema server is secured using one of these two methods. If the leaf was provided individually as a.pem file, change the extension to.crt and double click to open the certificate. SHA1 is the standard to be used for the Interop Device Certificates while SHA256 is the standard to be used for SMPTE Device Certificates. Eventually, all devices will only use the SHA256- based Device Certificate. If the leaf certificate (that you give in the GenKDM dialog box in QubeMaster Pro) is a SHA1 certificate, an MXF Interop KDM is generated. If the leaf certificate is a SHA256 certificate, a SMPTE KDM is generated. Select the Details page and if you see sha256rsa next to Signature algorithm, it is a SMPTE cert. Windows XP SP2 and Server 2003 users only: When generating SMPTE KDMs, there is a found Windows issue. The simple workaround is to remove the SHA1 versions of the Qube root and intermediate certificates (CA. QUBE.IN and XP.CA.QUBE.IN) from the Windows certificate store. If again you need to generate MXF Interop KDMs, re-install the SHA1 versions of the CA.QUBE.IN and XP.CA.QUBE.IN in the certificate store. These SHA1 versions are provided by Qube Cinema.

81 76 Keys The certification chain consists of the leaf, trusted root (CA) and intermediate levels of authority (ICA). The leaf may have been provided individually. To prepare the root and intermediate(s) for installation, they must be separated from the chain. Open the.pem file in Notepad and enable Word Wrap. Each paragraph is denoted with ---BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE--- Proceed with highlighting each paragraph one at a time and saving the text in another instance of Notepad with the.crt extension. The root certificate of the chain could either be the first or the last depending on the order. Determining the order of the certs can be made by doing the following.

82 Qubemaster PrO 77 After each cert has been saved individually as its own.crt file, verify which is the root by clicking on each file to open. If you find both the Issued to and Issued by fields having the same values, then it is a root certificate. Windows will also mark it as a root CA even prior to importing into the certificate store. A simple way to check if a certificate is leaf or not is by looking at its Issued to field. It will NOT begin with a. as can be seen in the above picture. All the other certificates between the first and the last constitute the intermediates. They differ in Issued to and Issued by and their Issued to always begins with a. as can be seen in the below picture. The leaf certificate of the chain could either be the first or the last depending on the order. If you have identified the root certificate as the first, then the leaf should be last or vice versa.

83 78 Keys Once the root and intermediate(s) are installed in the certificate store of the mastering machine, an authenticated leaf certificate will show the entire certification path and the root will be trusted. Remember to generate a KDM for your QubeMaster Pro machine. See chapter Preparing encrypted Compositions for future ingests. Your dongle has a SHA1 and SHA256 certificate embedded in it so that you can generate KDMS for your QubeMaster Pro machine for encrypted content. In the Menu bar select File>Export Certificate Chain Put these certs aside. When a movie needs to be encrypted, not only will you have to create a KDM using the leaf certificate provided by the exhibitor, but in addition, you will create a KDM for your QubeMaster Pro machine using these Qube certs, generally with an extended time period, perhaps 10 years. This is necessary because at a certain point you will clear the existing projects in the database. At a future date, it may be necessary to reimport the project to make changes or create KDMs for other locations. This is when you will use the Qube Ingestion Controller utility to ingest the DCP (provided you have saved a copy for yourself ) and ingest the KDM which you have generated for your mastering machine. When QubeMaster Pro is launched, the Composition, Reels, and Track Files will appear in the window panes unlocked and accessible.

88 Qubemaster PrO 83 6 encryption Encryption QubeMaster Pro can perform 128-bit AES encryption and may be done either at the wrapping stage or in the encoder. Either image and/or audio can be encrypted and will be designated with a lock icon in QubeMaster Pro. Encode and Encrypt Encryption can be set when encoding the Composition. Either image and/or audio can be encrypted by checking the Encrypt Video and/or Audio check boxes in the Encoder dialog box.

89 84 encryption Wrap and Encrypt Track Files can be encrypted in the Wrapper. To encrypt, right click on the QubeMaster Track File and select Wrap. Wrap activates the MXF Wrapper dialog box. Encryption can be set by checking the Encrypt check box. When importing a compressed source file, the MXF Wrapper dialog box auto opens and encryption can be set. Removing encryption can be achieved by rewrapping an encrypted Track File and not checking the Encrypt check box in the Wrapper dialog box. Wrapping adds the prefix Video or Audio to the Track File name. Each wrap function thereafter from the previously wrapped Track File adds an additional prefix Video or Audio to the Track File name.

90 Qubemaster PrO 85 Or encryption can be set by selecting the Encrypt Video and/or Audio check boxes in the Encoder dialog box and deselecting Compress. A new Composition icon appears in the Composition pane. QubeMaster Pro creates new Track Files and Reels to build the encrypted Composition. Wrapping via the Encoder UI adds the suffix reel-1-jp2k or reel-1-mpeg2 and reel-1-pcm to the Track File name. And adds reel-1 to the newly wrapped Reel name. When rewrapping an encoded Track File via the Wrapper for the purpose of encrypting, relink the encrypted Track File to the corresponding Reel.

91 86 encryption Preparing encrypted Compositions for future ingests When the user chooses to clean out and drop the database, precautions need to be taken to back up any projects which may resurface at a later date. To back up encrypted Compositions, first package the Compositions to create DCPs. Save these DCPs to storage. You will be able to ingest these back into QubeMaster Pro using the Qube Ingestion Controller. To unlock the encrypted DCPs at a later date, a KDM needs to be generated using the receiver certificate embedded on the QubeMaster Pro dongle BEFORE deleting the encrypted Compositions from QubeMaster Pro. To extract the QubeMaster Pro receiver certificate, select File > Export Certificate Chain and designate a destination. For each encrypted Composition, right click on the Composition icon and select Generate KDM from the pull down menu. In the Generate KDM dialog box, browse to the receiver certificate <name>- MASTERING-STATION.sha256.chain.pem previously extracted and set the Time Window for an extended period, perhaps 10 years. This will create a KDM for use in QubeMaster Pro. Save these KDMs to storage. Automatic KDMs with a user specified duration can be setup in Edit > Preferences > Encoder >Automatic KDMs Please note this feature is not fully operational in this version. When it is necessary to generate a new key and send an encrypted archived film to a new cinema server, ingest the DCP and the KDM back into QubeMaster Pro using the Qube Ingestion Controller. You can launch this program from the Start Menu on the system where QubeMaster Pro is installed. After ingesting, launch QubeMaster Pro, and the corresponding Compositions, Reels and Track Files will be visible. Locate the Composition which needs to playback on the new cinema server. Right click and select Generate KDM. In the Generate KDM dialog box, browse to the leaf certificate from the new cinema server, assign an output folder, and generate.
