Key Information at Your Fingertips
The Portal puts all the essentials in one place, giving cinema teams real-time visibility and control over their deliveries:
- Delivery download status – track content as it arrives and confirm successful completion
- Available free disk space – ensure there’s always capacity before new content is delivered
- CPL (Composition Playlist) information – verify assets, keys, and versions to avoid last-minute surprises
- Key dates – keep on top of release schedules, delivery timelines, and content expiry
- Filter and search – quickly find the exact file, title, or delivery status you need without digging through folders
Trailer Management Made Simple
DCU Connect also streamlines how trailers are delivered and managed:
- Automated trailer delivery – trailers are pushed directly to sites, always up to date
- Subscription options – cinemas can subscribe to trailer packages, managed by head office or on a site-by-site basis
- Post-production accuracy – updated trailer versions are automatically pushed, ensuring only the latest approved assets are available
- Centralized control – marketing and programming teams can coordinate campaigns more efficiently, while cinemas save time on local trailer management
