Case Study: CinePostproduction achieves DCP delivery in hours with Aspera On Demand

Speeding delivery of Digital Cinema Packages for theatre release using hybrid cloud model

CinePostproduction, a leading German post‑production facility and developer of the SHARC DCP distribution system, faced slow, costly and unreliable delivery of large Digital Cinema Packages (typically 100–400GB, and 150GB–1.5TB for postproduction sets) across the DACH region—until then largely reliant on physical hard‑drive shipment that could take up to a week.

By integrating Aspera On Demand into its SHARC hybrid‑cloud platform, CinePostproduction now uses Aspera FASP for encrypted, high‑speed transfers directly to theaters’ existing broadband connections. The result: secure, scalable delivery to over 100 cinemas with DCPs arriving in minutes or hours instead of days, reduced costs versus satellite or courier, and cloud‑scale capacity to meet variable demand.
