Security

The ARRIQCP is equipped with an invisible watermark that is embedded into the picture. In case of unauthorized copy, the date, time and location of a security leak can be fully traced; a visible watermark is also superimposed over the picture for added security. A KDM for the ARRIQCP is still required for playback of en- crypted material.

DCP and KDM Compliance Testing

In case a DCP is ingested to the system a validity check is performed, metadata in Composition Playlist (CPL), Packinglist (PL) and Assetmap is parsed and all links to track files are tested for missing links. Furthermore an XML schema test can be performed and KDMs checked for JPEG Interop and SMPTE standards compliance; for more time consuming tests, like JPEG2000 Interoperability, the user decides what tests to perform. Users are able to create sets of tests to be performed on the different assets of a DCP. These tests might include comparison of aspect ratios recorded in the CPL and the JPEG2000 file, JPEG2000 file size checking, PKL signature test, PKL Assetmap matching, message digest test, CPL signature test, track file reference test, essence encoding consistency test, duration consistency, and encryption key ID test. Status messages of failed or passed tests are collected and stored for later review or exported for reporting or communication purposes.

Easy Operation

Job Management allows a clear overview of currently processed and pending jobs. In case of urgent tests a complete ingest of content could be too time con- suming, so it is possible to perform an immediate playback for “emergency screen- ing”. If the content is on a SATA swap hard disk, movies can be played back in real time. For easier communication between facilities an updated CPL can be exported to disclose particular changes that should be performed for a valid package.

ARRIQCP specifications

The ARRI ARRIQCP, or ARRI Quick Control Panel, is an innovative tool designed for modern cinematographers and camera operators. This advanced control panel enhances the flexibility and efficiency of using ARRI’s digital cameras, particularly the ALEXA and AMIRA series. With its intuitive design and robust feature set, the ARRIQCP is a game-changer in the realm of camera operation.

One of the standout features of the ARRIQCP is its user-friendly interface. The control panel is designed with a clear layout that allows operators to access essential camera settings quickly. It includes a large touchscreen display that provides real-time feedback and visual confirmation of adjustments. This intuitive interaction makes it easier to navigate through the camera’s complex settings, enabling users to focus on the creative aspects of filming rather than being bogged down by technical details.

The ARRIQCP is equipped with a range of powerful technologies that enhance its functionality. It supports wireless operation, allowing users to control the camera from a distance. This feature is particularly beneficial in dynamic shooting environments where the camera's positioning may need to change frequently. The wireless connectivity also supports multiple operators, ensuring that the first assistant camera (AC) and focus pullers can work seamlessly.

Another significant characteristic of the ARRIQCP is its compatibility with various ARRI cameras. It integrates seamlessly with the ALEXA and AMIRA series, providing a cohesive ecosystem that enhances productivity on set. The panel supports a wide range of functions, including lens metadata management, focus control, and camera settings adjustments. This flexibility allows cinematographers to customize their workflows to suit specific production needs.

Furthermore, the ARRIQCP features customizable buttons and controls. Users can assign their most frequently used functions to specific buttons, streamlining the shooting process and enhancing workflow efficiency. This level of customization can drastically reduce the time spent adjusting camera settings during takes.

In conclusion, the ARRI ARRIQCP is a cutting-edge tool that revolutionizes the way filmmakers interact with their camera systems. With its intuitive interface, wireless capabilities, and comprehensive compatibility with ARRI cameras, it enhances creative possibilities while ensuring efficient operation. As the demand for high-quality visual storytelling continues to rise, tools like the ARRIQCP will play a vital role in enabling cinematographers to realize their artistic visions.
