Hello dears fellow techs,

Is there anything special to do to duplicate an IMAX movie ?
We have been trying to do our first one (though we duplicate XXX DCP / week without problem).

We have proceeded exactly the way we do for classic DCP, same format everything. Is there some trick we need to know ?

If someone as some expertise on IMAX, help is much welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean with 'duplicating'?

Standard 2D IMAX DCPs are just ordinary DCPs. 3D IMAX DCPs need a special signature to work.
