Author Topic: 50 Fps Playback! Lucas Iaccarino Film Handler Posts: 37 From: capital federal, buenos aires, argentina Registered: Feb 2015 posted 03-06-2018 04:41 PM                     Hello I`m writing you today because I`m going to receive a 50 fps DCP and i am asking myself if I`m going be able to playback it. Actually I`m operating with Doremi ShowVault (IMB) and Dolby Dss220, but I had been before in problems with some DCP with bitrates over 250 Mbps The projectors are all SERIES 2, so I think that everything is going to be Ok. What would you say?

Neither the Doremi IMB nor the Dolby CAT745 should have issues with data rates >250MBit/s. I think the Doremi IMB maxes out around 450MBit/s. For the CAT745, I have never seen an 'official' max decoder data rate, but it should cope with similar rates easily. The Dolphin/HD-SDI boards did not like rates close to 250MBit/s. As common 2k/3D uses 48fps at below 250MBit/s, it is probably not even necessary to go beyond that number for 50fps 2D. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

This frame rate is now correctly supported. --- - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
