COMPLIANCE TEST PLAN - COMPLIANT EQUIPMENT
The DCI Digital Cinema System Specification (DCSS) is intended to promote the widespread deployment of high quality digital cinema equipment that is interoperable and provides rigorous content security. The Compliance Test Plan (CTP) was created by DCI to provide a uniform testing procedure for demonstrating compliance with the DCSS. Manufacturers may demonstrate compliance by developing equipment in accordance with the DCSS and its referenced SMPTE, ISO and FIPS standards, and then submitting the equipment for testing to a third-party entity licensed by DCI to administer the CTP.
Use of the Compliance Test Plan
The CTP facilitates testing of d-cinema equipment by detailing a set of test procedures and reference files to be used with the test procedures. These materials are described in Appendix A of the CTP, which allows the materials to be re-created from the descriptions, and used to achieve testing results equivalent to those achieved with the original reference files.
Testing Process and Testing Entities
Manufacturers of d-cinema equipment are encouraged to use the CTP to self-test prior to committing to formal testing. Manufacturers can contract with a licensed testing entity to perform the appropriate test procedure based upon equipment type. DCI has licensed the CTP to the following three testing entities:
Research Institute for Digital Media and Content, Japan
Keio University

Compliance Test Plan Result Reporting
If a particular piece of digital cinema equipment passes the CTP, only the following data will be transmitted by the testing entity to DCI for display on this webpage:
- Test Completion Date
- Name of the Testing Entity
- Manufacturer, Make and Model of Subject Test Equipment
- Software Version Number(s)
- Firmware Version Number(s)
- Test Procedure Performed (DCP Test, Standalone Server Test, Standalone Projector Test, Projector with Media Block Test)
Failed test attempts using the licensed CTP will not be reported to DCI.
Compliance Test Plan Result Scope and Durability
After a piece of equipment (defined by the model, software, and firmware combination) passes the CTP, it remains "compliant" only to the version of the CTP in effect as of the posted test completion date, and for purposes of compliance reported on this website, is compliant only in the version tested, using the software and firmware running when the test was administered.
Each DCI member company reserves the right to decide independently the extent to which it accepts the "compliant" classification, and also reserves the right to seek the corresponding detailed testing data individually from the manufacturer.

- DCI does not have any additional compliance testing information or results about the listed equipment - please contact the manufacturer directly with inquiries.
- DCI shall not be liable for any exemplary, incidental, proximate or consequential damages or expenses arising from the use of this data.
- DCI's posting of compliance information as described is not intended to, and does not, constitute any statement, opinion, representation, evaluation or warranty by DCI, or any member studio, that any piece of digital cinema equipment is safe, suited to any purpose, method of operation or standard of quality, and is not an endorsement of any statement or representation by any manufacturer that any piece of digital cinema equipment is safe, suited to any purpose, method of operation or standard of quality.
