Create module
This is the first stage in the system. Here, the DG2L Capture Station and the DG2L Encoder digitizes and encodes the raw content to MPEG-4 standard format that takes care of the necessary data compression.

Process & Manage module
DG2L CineProcessor encrypts the MPEG-4 content. Encryption keys themselves are securely stored in the database server. CineManager manages the metadata associated with the content and the licenses required for each bona-fide viewing site. The CineManager schedules delivery of content to theaters. The CineManager contains modules to manage Theatres, Distributors and Regional Dealers relationships.

Delivery module
DG2L CineCaster is the module that takes care of the actual delivery of the encrypted content, licenses, commands and messages to the Theatre end systems. This is done by satellite or by physical media delivery as an alternative

Playback module
DG2L CineBlaster is used for reception of content, licenses, commands, messages and for the decryption and playback of content. It is designed to receive and playback HD quality MPEG-4 broadcast content. CineBlaster provides smart-card based authentication and secure storage. At any particular site, a CineBlaster configures for appropriate reception mode and would playback content as chosen by the operator. Local storage of the content is always in encrypted form. It also uses Fingerprint technology to curb piracy from the playback at the theater site.
