Cinegy

Cinegy Workspace empowers media production teams to collaborate on projects wherever they are – in the office, at home or on the road. Cinegy Workspace provides secure access to your Cinegy Archive Database from anywhere at any time. All that is required is a standard computer or laptop running Windows or Mac OS, and a regular internet connection. 

Overview

Cinegy’s world leading media asset management solution Cinegy Archive now includes Cinegy Archive Services and the Cinegy Workspace client to access them. Cinegy Archive Services provide a secure way to allow Workspace clients either in the local network or via the Internet to access the Cinegy Archive contents. Cinegy Workspace has been developed using all new technology based on Microsoft’s Silverlight providing cross platform support (running on Windows and Mac OS) and requires no dedicated application installation.

Using the Cinegy Workspace browser-based interface, clips can be searched, browsed, selected and even edited. Users can participate in a collaborative workflow even when they are based in different locations. The Cinegy Workspace interface can be used with predesigned templates (included) or customized to fit an organization’s corporate identity.

Changes are visible immediately allowing real-time collaboration. For more advanced operations such as HD timeline editing the Cinegy Desktop client remains the best choice. Changes made to a project from a team member on the road using the Cinegy Workspace client are immediately reflected in the Cinegy Desktop application and vice versa.

Granular access rights control, user management and integration with existing enterprise IT solutions allow simple and secure management even for large user bases.Sophisticated security features are included to prevent unauthorized access to the media archive.User access rights and feature availability can be set on an individual basis using the Cinegy Enterprise Manager. Individual web users can be granted full rights, read-only rights or no rights, for each folder or media subset.

Flexible and Scalable

Five Cinegy Workspace licenses are included with the Cinegy Archive Database, allowing any five users access at any given time. Extra licenses can be added quickly and easily allowing more users to work simultaneously on the collaborative production process.

With the Cinegy Workspace Server in place concurrent access is available to all permitted users, with the number of simultaneous connections dependent on server capacity and network bandwidth.
