Digital Video Package (DVP)
The goal of the DVP project is to establish an integrated hardware and software solution for the processing, storage, management and distribution of digital content files.
It should:
• Eliminate / automate redundant activities
• Transfer content via files over a centralized network among internal groups and external vendors, clients, reviewers
• Provide an inventory system with visibility across distribution servicing
The DVP file-based workflow is designed to replace the existing tape-based Mastering & Distribution Servicing workflow. It will store one master set of file based elements to be assembled for any downstream distribution using multiple Composition Play Lists (Recipes), similar to what is used in present day Digital Cinema Packaging (DCP). The broad concept of a high quality, uniform DVP should lower costs, improve time-to-market, and increase interoperability of existing production processes and needs.
