Could someone please tell me why am i getting 30 in the name of the DCP below?
http://prntscr.com/k7dhpc
I was expecting it to be a 5.1 DCP after using mid-side decoder and selecting the 6 Channels option. Could this cause any problem with the server recognizing the DCP?
Please guide.
DCP Naming convention (30 instead of 51 in the name)

Re: DCP Naming convention (30 instead of 51 in the name)
The Mid/Side Decoder only creates three channels - L/C/R, so, even in a 5.1 DCP, only three channels are populated. You could do it as a 4 Channel DCP as well, but in general, I would advise to use only straight stereo, or a full 5.1 channel layout. The storage implications of 4 vs. 6 channels can be neglected.
No server should choke on a 30 channel layout indicator. It is a rule for DCI equipment that all aspects of a DCP/CPL name are targeted towards a human operator, and should not be used for critical automatic technical evaluation on the server.
