Challenge
Ensuring the security of the cloud-based cinema DCI server is a major challenge.
As the server stores and distributes valuable and copyrighted content, it must have robust encryption measures and access controls to prevent unauthorized access or piracy attempts.
Managing a vast library of digital content, including movies, trailers, advertisements, and promotional materials, can be complex. The server must have efficient content management systems in place to organize, update, and version control the content, ensuring the correct versions are distributed to theatres and eliminating any potential content discrepancies.
Solution
The Aerox DCI servers meet the industry standards and regulations set by organizations such as Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI).
Digital cinema projection systems can vary in terms of hardware, software, and formats. The cinema DCI server needs to be compatible with different systems and formats to ensure seamless playback across various theatres and projectors. This requires ongoing testing, updates, and compatibility checks to maintain compatibility with evolving industry standards.
