Anyone who knows how to make a "pattern" like the Black pattern for Doremi?
We have an upcoming conference-like event with a lot of still pictures introducing the different speakers.
Last year I made DCPs with all the still pictures, but I wonder if there is a less time consuming way...

Hmm. The patterns are not real "content". The patterns are created by the server software, black patterns are available in Cinelister with the RAID drives removed. I don't think you can change them, like adding 3D 48 black to a system with software that didn't have it - or add new patterns. You could ask Doremi of course.
Other servers might not have patterns. Dolby has "black" CPLs instead I think.
I would put the stills up using a PC through a DVI/HDMI/Displayport input, whatever is available on your system.

Powerpoint or any image viewer. I would never do 'interactive presentations' with DCPs. The servers are dealing too clumsy with short clips.
