A: Jointly produced films that have passed the censorship review by the Film Censorship Review Board and have obtained the Film Public Screening Permit may be released in the digital theatres in Mainland China. Screening dates may be pre-agreed with the digital theatres. However, the following technical requirements must be complied with: Sony HD-Cam master tape (16:9 FHA format, non-dialogue subtitles, audio channels 1 and 2 for Mandarin stereo channel, and audio channels 3 and 4 for soundtrack mix stereo channel).

For Dolby 6 channels, the following should be provided: one DA88 (Mandarin 6 channels) - the time cue should correspond with the HD master tape, one DA88 (soundtrack mix stereo channel, channel 7 should solely be for Mandarin dialogue) – the time cue should correspond with the HD master tape.
