We've added a function that allows you to send screener links to a list of recipients. That way, you can now share your screener with multiple recipients or groups of recipients separately, allowing you to add or delete access on a per-share basis. You can even see how often an access code was visited.

Since today the KDM generator is online, so now you can produce KDMs at any time - day or night! Create KDMs in a few clicks for your encrypted film - whether for a particular cinema server or an entire movie theater at once. A database of over 100,000 server certificates, which is constantly updated, operates in the background. During the launch period you can try the KDM generator for free!

It was a lot of work and a lot of research. Now we have gathered a database of over 100,000 server certificates. By means of the KDM generator we can create Key Delivery Messages for encrypted DCPs for all these cinema servers.

Since we started in 2013, we have been working on projects that facilitate the work of our fellow colleagues and clients. We began by developing a trailer download platform for managing and distributing movie trailers and press materials. We went on to initiate DCP disk distribution to cinemas, thereby creating a convenient online tool for instructing and supervising distribution. The next step was to provide a DCP naming generator based on the "Digital Cinema Naming Convention". The DCP naming generator makes the file names of digital cinema copies readable. This not only facilitates the work of projectionists in theaters but also makes life easier for those working in post-production and distribution.
