Abstract
Embodiments disclosed allow assigning programs for presentation in a digital cinema system. In one embodiment, a scheduler is implemented to generate a schedule in accordance to which decoding modules control playback of data for presentation in the digital cinema systems. The decoding module may operate in an automatic mode and/or manual mode. In automatic mode, the decoding module controls playback based on the schedule, without user intervention. In manual mode, the decoding module cues the user at the appropriate times to control playback based on the schedule.
