Cinegy Air Passive Mode

The passive mode is designed for offline playlist preparation. Playlists are usually created, edited and composed in the passive mode before saving and broadcasting them in a single or multi-channel mode with the Cinegy Air control application. The passive mode does not have a connection to the playout server.

Cinegy Air Playlist Creation

There are different ways of adding items to a Cinegy playlist, either drag and drop in MAM browser mode,  inventory browser mode or from Microsoft Wondows Explorer. Live, dummy and note items can be added via commands from the right-click menu or by pressing the appropriate buttons.

This screenshot shows building a playlist using drag-and-drop in MAM browser mode. Navigate to the desired item in the Cinegy Archive database: select the item and add it to the playlist via drag-and-drop.

Cinegy Air Active Mode - Single Channel

The active mode is designed for going on-air and broadcasting playlists composed in the passive mode. Here you can see a screenshot of the Cinegy Air control running in the single-channel mode. There are two control monitors. The first monitor (on the left) shows the item that is currently being broadcasted. The second monitor (on the right) shows the first frame of the next cued item, which will be broadcasted next. The item editor panel is used to edit individual items, add items, new blocks and new programs to the playlist and navigate through the playlist. The preview window is located on the left of this panel. It shows the first frame of the selected item.

Cinegy Air Multi Channel Mode

Here you can see a screenshot of the Cinegy Air control running in the multi-channel mode. Each channel is represented by a separate tab in the playlist panel. When the tab is activated, the corresponding channel playlist will be displayed.The timeline panel represents an interactive list of all the available channels. The playlist for each channel is shown as a horizontal timeline. The current playout position is marked with a red triangle.

Cinegy Air Horizontal Timeline

The horizontal timeline provides a graphical overview of a defined time period. It can show the playout timeline for all channels, in the programs, blocks or items detail. You can change detail level from the convenient pop-up timeline menu. The user interface is intuitively designed with the background coloring of items in the timeline identical to items’ coloring in the playlist. The horizontal timeline in Cinegy Air provides a visual means to manage and navigate multiple channels with ease.
