Hi, I'm a DCP maker and I had trouble when trying a 3D DCP in an IMAX projected theatre room. The DCP played fine but in 2D mode, not 3D. It is a 2k Scope DCP, made in QubeMaster Pro Software. Is there any specifications the DCP should have in order to play as 3D ? How can I get this information? Thank you! Alexandre Salvador ETC Filmes - São Paulo/SP - Brazil

Hi, I think that there are restrictions to play non IMAX 3D contents. No problems with 2D.

3D content for IMAX projectors need to come with special signer certificates.
As Dave says, you need to contact IMAX.
