23 March 2011, MUNICH – Cinegy, a developer of world-leading media software solutions for automation, playout, production workflow and archive, announces new products shown at NAB 2011.
Introducing Cinegy Capture 2.0 Pro - Advanced Ingest Service
After the introduction of Cinegy Capture 1.0 at IBC 2010, Cinegy are proud to announce the release of Cinegy Capture 2.0. Building on the first release, the new 2.0 release brings a collection of new features along with a new ‘Pro’ version. The idea behind Cinegy Capture is as simple as it is revolutionary. One or multiple instances can be installed on a server or standard PC with the respective number of SDI cards. Once started Cinegy Capture announces itself to the network as an appliance that can be controlled remotely via a Silverlight based web client which runs on Windows and Mac OS X alike.
Cinegy Capture 2.0 Pro supports all new multi-encode and multi-wrap capabilities, allowing the toughest new HD formats to be encoded in software once and target an Avid-compatible MXF and an FCP-compatible MOV simultaneously. Cinegy Capture Pro also allows real-time generation of frame-accurate proxy formats in the latest codecs; use it to create an H.264 MP4 proxy while recording AVCI or DNxHD. Cinegy Capture 2.0 adds increased support for SDI hardware, now supporting the AJA Kona and Corvid family of IO cards, as well as the new IO Express products.
Cinegy Capture 2.0 is also used as a recording engine in the AMWA-EBU FIMS demo at NAB 2011 (north hall, N3134) where Cinegy are helping to drive forward industry standards. Using the draft FIMS specifications for an open API, Cinegy Capture is the first software-based ingest system to be demonstrated working with IBM and Sony management systems creating AS-02 MXF files for processing and editing with Cube-Tec and Avid software.
Introducing Cinegy Type - Extending Cinegy Air Playout with Real-time CG and Branding
Cinegy has released the next major version of their award winning broadcast automation and playout server solution Cinegy Air 9.0. This latest release offers new features and improvements along with the significant addition of the newly developed Cinegy Type module for real time character generation and branding.
Cinegy Type allows the addition of multiple layers of automation controlled, template based titles, logos, animated graphics, and more. From simple ticker tapes and lower thirds to multi-layer character animations Cinegy Type includes a whole range of advanced effects and features. This new module addresses simple requirements such as logo insertion right through to complex branding with templated information and animated video plates. Cinegy Type templates can be triggered by Cinegy Air Control automation with the variable parts of the templates being updated either manually or automatically. The Cinegy Type CG engine dynamically composites the different layers making it possible to independently control when different elements are visible or not during playout.
Cinegy Air 9.0 includes dramatically expanded support for the most popular professional media formats. Now XDCAM HD MXF files can be simply dragged and dropped for playout, along with MXF AS-03 and QuickTime MOV files. The Cinegy Air 9.0 Engine has also been upgraded to allow the playback of H.264 encoded content, as well as allowing VANC (Vertical Ancillary Data) pass-through; enabling the embedding of closed-captions / sub-titles as well as V-Chip and aspect ratio flags.
Cinegy will be demonstrating the entire Cinegy Workflow including the new products at NAB 2011 north hall N6233. Twenty minute presentations will be given at quarter past the hour, covering one of three topics, Cinegy Capture, Cinegy Air and Type or Cinegy Workflow overview, full details of the presentation schedule are available.
