Cinegy will demonstrate Cinegy Air, its real-time playout server and multi-channel
broadcast automation software, performing 8K playout at NAB 2016 which is taking
place in Las Vegas from 16 to 21 April 2016.
NAB will see the final release of the codec at the heart of Cinegy’s 8K playout
demo, DANIEL2. DANIEL2 is a GPU-based acquisition and production codec for
recording from camera sources, editing, and post-production, as well as playout.
The codec resolves a problem faced when designing 4K, 8K, or even 16K systems
that need to handle multiple streams in real time. DANIEL2 eliminates legacy codec
dependencies and vastly accelerates the entire production chain.
At NAB, Cinegy will also formally announce the initial launch of Cinegy as a
Service. All of Cinegy’s software technology, starting with Cinegy Air, will
eventually be ported to run via cloud-based services such as Amazon Web Services
(AWS), enabling prospective users to spin up and test drive Cinegy technology in an
HD or 4K cloud. No hardware will be required.
Finally, Cinegy will announce details of Cinegy Open Tools, a free and
open suite of tools and utilities for broadcasters converting to IP or attempting other
transitions.
