If production of digital cinema packages and the associated keys
to lock those packages seems daunting or, in most cases, just plain expensive,
then Qube Cinema is about to change that. Using over 25 years of industry
knowledge, Qube have developed a series of products and is making them
available online to the smallest filmmaker up to the largest studio.
KeySmith
is revolutionary, taking the key delivery mechanism to another level. Sign up,
log in, choose your production and then choose your playout screens and
KeySmith will send your KDMs directly to you or straight to the theatre to
enable playback. It couldn’t be easier and, not surprisingly, has a price tag
that matches that skill level. With a database of thousands of screens from
crowdsourcing and very close ties to major post-production facilities, Qube
allows you to easily search for your theatres and set the screening period. If
you are worried about security, then fear not as KeySmith uses FIPS protected
devices when working in your own secure environment.
Previously, there really wasn't
much of a choice with DCP mastering - you either bought the product or you
didn't do the job. Qube is now clearly offering a choice - buy the product or
sign up and use it when you need to. With a suite of products available to take
you from creation of DCP, including QubeMaster Xpress and Xport, through to key
delivery and feedback, Qube provides you with everything that you need to get
the job done, easily, correctly and on time. Mastering software packages Xpress
and Xport have also been upgraded to complement the range, with encryption
added to both products. This takes both of these products to the next level,
with 4K and 3D already running, and nicely fits the range. Even if you don’t use Qube for your
mastering but still need encryption, you can simply use Qube Locker - another
new product specifically developed to make life as simple as possible.
To complement the range and offer
complete control of your DCP mastering in a post-production environment, Qube
has consistently developed QubeMaster Pro to make sure that today’s professional client
has literally everything available when required.
Nigel Dennis, Head of European
business said, “The post market and
DCP production and handling in particular has really moved on here. Our online
management service has promised a lot but this is clearly a win-win situation
for everyone involved. I see this as becoming the norm and the further use of
online services for all kinds of operations becoming standard operating practice.”
