Author Topic: Audio playing slowly Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 02-08-2010 02:30 AM                     Barco DP100/Kodak server/Real D Loaded a drive with a few clips, both played in 3D fine, but one sounded like it was playing at 1/2 speed, real slow. Any ideas? Believe me everybody was floored by the problem, eventually a new non-Kodak server was used and all was well. But why would one clip play fine and another not? The only difference that we knew about was that one was 6 channel PCM and the other LtRt PCM. Anybody?  |  IP: Logged Jussi Siponen Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Mikkeli, Itä-Suomi, FINLAND Registered: Jan 2010 posted 02-08-2010 05:12 AM                     There are two allowed audio sample rates for DCPs: 48 kHz and 96 kHz. 96 kHz sound played back at 48 kHz results in 1/2 speed audio. Both sample rates should work just fine, but software bugs are not exactly unheard of...  |  IP: Logged Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 02-09-2010 01:37 PM                     Ended up bringing in another server that doesn't require generating a KDM??? I wasn't there but was told it played fine. The lab still has no idea what the problem was with the Kodak server, and neither does Kodak.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-10-2010 12:21 AM                     Server without KDM security I want 5  |  IP: Logged Olivier Lemaire Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Paris, Ile de France, France Registered: Jan 2010 posted 02-10-2010 05:03 PM                        gimme one too  |  IP: Logged Julio Roberto Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 938 From: Madrid, Madrid, Spain Registered: Oct 2008 posted 02-10-2010 05:12 PM                    Do they send the trailers encrypted as well? Sounds like a lot of trouble when most trailers are already available on the web at HD resolutions ....  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 02-10-2010 05:33 PM                     Trailers do not need a license.  |  IP: Logged Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 02-11-2010 02:11 AM                     These weren't trailers, they were clips from movies for a tribute. They needed (and had) valid keys, but once we found the clip that played slow we reloaded it and the keys stopped working for that clip. Major finger pointing, and I still haven't heard a good explanation of what happened. I was told the server was either a Quvis or the one that went under, and will play DCI content without a key. It came from a lab in L.A., but I was elsewhere when this was going on so am not certain of the details.  |  IP: Logged
