Core components of Cinegy Workflow

Cinegy Capture – can be installed as a self-starting service on a commodity server or standard PC and configured to work with specified video hardware or IP streams. Once started Cinegy Capture announces itself to the network as an appliance that is controlled remotely via a web-hosted application, meaning install-free and cross-platform operation on Windows and Mac OS alike.

There is no limit to how many instances of Cinegy Capture can run on a machine other than processor performance and available space to install SDI cards. With a high performance server or workstation up to four AVID DNxHD or XDCAM HD422 streams can be captured simultaneously.

Cinegy Desktop – is a universal production tool that provides real-time access to media in the Cinegy Archive, along with a powerful suite of tools for logging and editing, and an almost limitless ability to ingest, import and export media to third-party non-linear editing and automation systems.

Cinegy Workspace  – provides secure access to Cinegy Archive Database from anywhere at any time. Using the Cinegy Workspace browser-based interface, clips can be searched, browsed, selected and even edited.

Cinegy Archive – is the innovative media asset management solution for any organization with an archive or productions to manage. With its scalable and open architecture Cinegy offers the most affordable solution to digitize tape-based archive and production workflows.

Cinegy Air  – is a network-attached real-time video playout service appliance. It consists of two parts – the Cinegy Air Control broadcast automation front-end and a real-time video service – Cinegy Air Engine – for SD / HD playout.

Additional products in the Cinegy Workflow suite provide tools for web access, post production and automated transcoding and batch processing, as well as software for building an IP-based workflow.

Cinegy Workflow is an intuitive solution conceived by media professionals for media professionals. It works with any type of media and redefines the concepts of archiving, production and automation for the digital age.
