Play MPEG-2 Content

To play MPEG-2 content, this software must be installed on the projector:
• Christie IMB-S2 Main Software v1.2 or later.
• Solaria One Main Software v4.0.1 or later on Solaria One and Solaria One+ projectors.
• Solaria Main Software v3.1.1 or later on all other Christie series 2 projectors.
You can ingest MPEG-2 formatted Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) and regular MPEG-2 files. The
supported file extensions are mpeg, mpg, and ts. To play encrypted MPEG-2 DCPS, a Key Delivery
Message (KDM) key is required.
Playback of MPEG-2 content is restricted to these resolutions:
• 720p
• 1080p
• 1080i
You can add MPEG-2 and JPEG-2000 content to the same play list. Automatic frame doubling allows
MPEG-2 content to be output to the same 3D video path as the 3D JPEG-2000 content. During
playback, the color format and color space of MPEG-2 content is automatically converted by the
Christie IMB to match the color format and color space of JPEG 2000 content. A channel change is not
required to play MPEG-2 and JPEG 2000 content in the same play list.
Video content is restricted to the formats that fall within the definition of the Main Profile at High
Level as defined in specification ISO/IEC 13818-2. This table lists the supported MPEG-2 video
transport stream (TS) and elementary stream (ES) formats:
