Probably the most outstanding feature of the ARRIQCP is its ability to playback DCPs directly to an HD or 2K monitor over Dual Link HD-SDI or DVI-D, providing an initial first stage quality check without using a Digital Cinema projector. This feature represents a previously missing link in DCP creation and will mean facilities can speed up their content checking.

Playback controls allow common playback features (such as Play/Reverse, Jog, Shuttle Jump and Loop) in various playback modes (2K, 2K Sub-Res-Level from 4K, 3D, left or right from 3D). The ARRIQCP will also allow reel boundary checking with a user-specified pre-roll time. The user can set flags with a short description of the non-conformity that can be exported as text files when detecting picture or audio impairment.

A remote control Jog Shuttle connected over RS-422 will give the same ease of use as a VTR. During playback, time- code information is shown and the user can decide whether to receive the reel, the composition, or the show timecode.
