Cinegy workflow is an open platform consisting of a suite of tools, applications and open APIs that allow to shift television production into next gear without being taken hostage by a proprietary solution of a particular vendor.
Tapeless production is good - digital asset management based workflow driven production is even better. Cinegy workflow does all this and more. SD & HD ingest, logging, storyboarding, team collaboration, non-linear workflows, news integration, broadcast automation and real-time playout as well as a wide range of options for 3rd party integration - all based on standard IT hardware and non-proprietary storage.
Cinegy workflow
The concept of cinegy workflow is based above all on a clear and transparent network infrastructure that can be optimally integrated into any environment, for example:
As a small company workgroup, to search, archive and administer their own content
As a networked part of a large organisation, enabling multiple, concurrent access to ingested and archived material and to create new content
As a networked team logging tool for large and time sensitive TV productions such as reality TV shows
As an active tool in a production, ingesting material into a central archive, from where content can be used offline or as an overview for editing or sent to another department
As a complete production environment, taking the highest quality material from broadcast, HD or film productions and improves speed and efficiency in all areas. Each department can work on its own projects, which are stored in a central database, or collaborate in real-time across the network.
As a backbone for news or monitoring agencies, from 24/7 video ingest, logging, edit and immediate broadcast playout
Core components of cinegy workflow cinegy ingest – multi-format SD and/or HD encoding using Cinegy
software encoders, providing highest quality to 720p or 1080i resolution. cinegy media desktop – a universal production tool combining search
and browse of the cinegy media archive asset management system
with a highly customizable logger, and a powerful real-time NLE that
can work with long GOP MPEG2 / H.264 in SD and HD. It also offers
virtually limitless import/export capabilities to third party NLEs and
automation systems. cinegy media archive – a digital asset management solution seamlessly
integrated into all Cinegy products. It facilitates the creation,
updating and maintenance of metadata in each step of the production
workflow. cinegy air – a real-time playout and broadcast automation system for
SD or HD. It supports multi-channel and multi-format playout to air or
online streaming.
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.
