Dear friends,

Since today, Windows XP and Windows Vista have been placed in limited support.
All following player releases available in the download section will require Windows 7 or later.
No new player licenses will be issued for operating systems prior to Windows 7; existing ones can be prolonged.

Windows 7 and later are fully supported and we are continously releasing new updates with new features.

NeoDCP Player v2.80 – Brightness correction per CPL/DCP now available.

Dear friends,

We have implemented a feature that has been requested by some of our customers using NeoDCP Player for 3D screening. Often it is necessary to adjust brightness of the image per each playlist item differently. Some 3D movies are uncorrected for 3D glasses, some are already corrected, and all 2D movies, trailers or advertisements need brightness correction when viewed through 3D glasses.

Official release notes:
  • Added brightness correction option for CPLs, possible to be set differently for each playlist item
  • Minor change to the behavior of the volume slider
  • Updated pixel shader code
  • Updated German and Russian translations
