Author Topic: Subtitle Question John Rizzo Film Handler Posts: 37 From: Demarest, NJ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 03-20-2014 01:21 PM                     Hi Guys I asked this question before but can't find the original thread so I will ask again. If a DCP has a separate subtitle track can they be turned on or off by a setting in the server. From what I recall last time I asked this was that on a Sony Server it is not possible.How about on a Dolby,DoReiMei, Chrite etc is it possible?  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 03-20-2014 01:31 PM                     On my Doremi/Christie 2220 combination. It's possible to allow the Christie projector to extract the subs or the Doremi to extract them.I believe the answer is yes for Doremi.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 03-20-2014 05:08 PM                     On a Doremi you can choose the Doremi subtitle engine and the projector will receive subs already burned into the picture. Otherwise the projector will overlay the subs. I do not think you can turn it off, unless you play with the subtitle section of the TI board. But I am not aware of an easy way of doing it.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-20-2014 06:52 PM                     The Dioremi has it in device config. You can disable subtitles in the projector device configuration. Then if you do not activate the Doremi subtitle generator, I assume the feature will play without subtitles. Haven't tried it yet. May be that the Doremi recognizes this condition and will not play a subtitled feature. Anyway, it is not a task for the everyday operator, you need special privileges to do it. And you shouldn't forget to reenable subtitling afterwards. You should really resort to making a separate DCP without subtitles as a general rule. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 03-21-2014 04:07 AM                     I agree with Carsten, D-Cinema was designed to work with two separate CPLs, one with and one without subtitles. A new CPL with no subs could be emailed. That being said I heard the plan now is to have the subs managed by the server, so a single CPL with multiple subtitles could be sent - and I guess then a choice could be made on the server.  |  IP: Logged Antti Nayha Master Film Handler Posts: 268 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: Oct 2008 posted 04-02-2014 02:35 AM                     Here's the original thread.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 04-02-2014 10:33 AM                        Don't we get all that now? Most every drive I receive has multiple versions... one each for every sound format known to mankind, and versions for every light level available on 3D. Oh... then the one I use. Then you double that, because all of those versions have open and closed caption files. I'm getting 54 weekly keys for Peabody. Can't wait to see if we get triple or quadruple versions when HFR becomes commonplace.  |  IP: Logged
