IBC: Cinegy Showcasing 8K And Cloud Optimized Solutions

As it returns to IBC 2022 (Amsterdam, Sept. 9-12), Cinegy, a provider of software technology for digital video processing, asset management, video compression and automation, and playout services, will showcase its portfolio of 8K and cloud optimized solutions. Visitors to the company’s booth, 7.A01, will also see demonstrations of Cinegy’s end-to-end capability with solutions such as Air PRO, Capture PRO, Multiviewer, Convert and Archive, within which the Daniel2 codec is an integral part.

Visitors to this year’s show will see how Cinegy solutions “simplify workflows and allow production teams to work smarter and more efficiently,” the company says. As an early adopter of the open source SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, Cinegy has SRT baked into its technology, including the license, which removes any concerns about whether users have the legal right, proper subscription, or adequate bandwidth to deploy the software.

Jan Weigner, Cinegy managing director, said: “While the cloud is the ultimate destination for the industry, not every customer is ready to make the transition at the same time. Our role as a technology partner is to meet customers where they are today and show them how they can evolve their business to take on the challenges they face in a dynamically shifting market. We have created a highly flexible approach that allows broadcasters to migrate their workflow — in parts or wholesale — in a way that aligns with their business and operational requirements. We are excited to be back at IBC and showing customers how we can help them solve the issues facing their businesses.”

IBC 2022 attendees will see a demonstration of how Cinegy Air PRO ”simplifies multi-channel delivery, allowing customers to run many channels with flexibly configurable features from a single unit, while Cinegy Capture PRO allows operators to work with a rich client interface running anywhere on the network, simultaneously generating all versions needed for archive, editing and remote working,” the company says. Cinegy Multiviewer, which runs as a service operating on commodity IT equipment, displays and analyses signals from multiple sources, raising alerts for any detected signal problems.

Designed to perform repetitive export and conversion tasks by “printing” material to predefined formats and destinations, Cinegy Convert saves time that can be applied to higher value creative tasks, while Cinegy Archive delivers advanced logging and metadata accumulation over the entire lifecycle of the media assets, making these easily searchable and reusable, and saving time and money.

Underpinning the Cinegy software range is the newly optimised Cinegy Daniel2 codec that plays professional quality 8k streams on affordable, commodity hardware or even a consumer-grade laptop.
