DCP Asset Hash Generator (SHA-1 Base64)
Generate the SHA-1, Base64-encoded hash a DCP PKL/asset-map expects for each MXF asset — exactly the format SMPTE 429 packaging tools write.
Digital Cinema Packages identify each asset by a SHA-1 digest stored in the PKL — but Base64-encoded, not hex (e.g. 'k7s...=' not 'a1b2...'). This tool produces that exact Base64 form so you can verify an MXF's hash against a PKL entry or diagnose a 'hash mismatch' rejection at a cinema.
🔒 Files are hashed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
