Essence playback and full cinema-server compatibility are not tested; the output is structure and hash evidence, not cinema certification.

One focused workflow

From bounded input to evidence you can review

  1. Add the source.Accepted inputs are ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ. The visible limit is 5 files · 1 GB total.
  2. Confirm the job.Every assigned source number, selected filename and setting stays visible before the confirmed SHA-256 input hash is accepted. Product-specific mappings remain explicit settings rather than guessed roles.
  3. Process in isolation.A one-job networkless sandbox receives only this job and cannot access accounts, queues, encryption keys or other customer storage.
  4. Review exact findings.Verify ASSETMAP, CPL and PKL relationships plus declared asset hashes for an unencrypted DCP package within the visible 1 GB input limit.
  5. Download the evidence.HTML, protected asset inventory CSV, composition JSON, sample evidence and manifest Every output hash is covered by the coordinator-created manifest.

What this product does not claim

Essence playback and full cinema-server compatibility are not tested; the output is structure and hash evidence, not cinema certification.

DCP Structure & Hash Validator FAQ

What can I upload?

An unencrypted DCP delivered as ZIP, TAR or TAR.GZ, up to 5 files and 1 GB in total. Encrypted packages and their keys are out of scope.

Which relationships are checked?

ASSETMAP, CPL and PKL are read against each other, so that every asset a composition references is present and every declared asset is accounted for.

How are the hashes verified?

Each asset is streamed and its SHA-256 value compared with the value the PackingList declares. The report states how many of the declared hashes matched.

Does the validator play the picture and sound?

No. Essence decoding and playback on a particular cinema server are not tested, so a damaged frame inside an otherwise correctly hashed asset stays invisible here.

Is a clean result an approval for delivery?

No. It is structure and hash evidence for the package you supplied. It is not cinema certification and not a promise that the venue server will ingest the show.
