Abstract: A repository is created and maintained that receives and stores a plurality of attributes associated with digital components resident at a display complex and associated with particular digital cinema systems within that display complex. These attributes can be accessed by clients which thereafter use that data to securely convey digital content to a particular digital cinema system. Each display complex collects attributes associated with the digital cinema systems resident at the complex and pushes the data to a service module hosted on a server on a wide area network. Upon receiving the attributes corresponding to each digital component of each cinema system, the server conveys the data to a repository for storage. Thereafter, responsive to a request from a client, data needed to securely convey content to a digital cinema system is retrieved from the repository and conveyed to the requesting client.
