Cinegy TS Analyser is a lightweight tool, which can be useful to
analyze an incoming live stream when you experience RTP skips, for
example. The tool itself and details on its use are available on the
Cinegy github: https://github.com/Cinegy/TsAnalyser

NVIDIA GPUs - beginning with the Kepler generation - contain a
HARDWARE-BASED ENCODER (REFERRED TO AS NVENC) which provides
fully-accelerated hardware-based video encoding and is independent of
graphics performance. With complete encoding (which is comput...
In order to add new storage that should be used only when specified
explicitly in watch folder settings the following steps should be
performed:
- register network shares that refer to the new storage in Cinegy
Archive;
- create a new Media Group that...
The Cinegy Archive master clip itself does not allow the replacement
or addition of media tracks. Although it is possible to generate a new
copy of the media with the required tracks layout.
The recommended way of new master clip versions generation is ...
Export of sequences from Cinegy Desktop with the help of Direct
Transcoding is not supported. The sequence can contain clips with
different types of compression, as well as objects such as Titler,
effects, etc. Therefore, the Direct Transcoding mode is on...
GPU offloading (hardware acceleration) is available for Daniel2 4:2:2
formats. Other formats are CPU based.
Cinegy recommends using the following bitrates for Daniel2 format:
- UHD p50 4:2:0 8 bit: 600 Mbit/sec
- UHD p50 4:2:0 10 bit: 800 Mbit/sec
-...
A new, top-tier loudness control options has been integrated since
Cinegy Air 12. This paid-for extra option provides every possible
real-time loudness control that a customer might need. To use Loudness
Control feature a special license should be provide...
The difference between presets is the level to which the video is
compressed, and correspondingly, the different level of hardware
consumption. For the 'Best performance' preset, the video is
compressed by the MPEG-2 codec to a lower bitrate, so the hardw...
BlackMagic design Decklink BMDL Duo2 and Quad2* cards have specific
architecture.
These cards have "4/8 independent 3G-SDI connections". That does not
mean that they have 4/8 independent 3G-SDI full duplex channels, but
just 4/8 connectors which can be co...
NVIDIA GPUs contain a HARDWARE-BASED DECODER (referred to as NVDEC)
which provides fully-accelerated hardware-based video decoding for
several popular codecs. With complete decoding offloaded to NVDEC the
graphics engine and the CPU are free for other ope...
No, capturing directly to the network storage is the standard way to
use Capture with Cinegy Archive.
It also has additional stability protection against the short-term
network disconnection, so there is no need for a local copy when
network conditions ...
Cinegy Archive database doesn't require any special procedures for
maintaining, just use the basic regular recommendation as for all
Microsoft SQL databases, according to their documentation.
Refer to the Microdoft support site for more details about cl...
Cinegy Type does not have a variable related to duration. To achieve
your goal, you can use Loop parameters in Cinegy Titler to organize
work with graphic.
For example, set Start and End frame of the loop and create variable
for "Leave Loop Trigger" - so ...
What to do if the UTC time codes in the Air as-run logs do not
represent the local time when the playout occurred?
Cinegy chose to move to UTC because it fixed a lot of issues to do
with daylight saving, etc. There are no plans to revert. Date/time of
t...
Daniel is loss-less codec. It is primarily aimed at providing a
reliable, scalable and performance optimized codec for the use of
video with alpha channel. Common usage includes animations rendered
with alpha channel, to be superimposed on live picture or...
Code = 0x80004005 could indicate that there is some hardware/driver
related problem:
- selected SDI card is absent (additional information returns);
- SDI driver is wrong (sometimes additional version related
information returns);
- the license is absent ...
For sound normalizing you can use normalizer in Cinegy Air.
To send audio from sequence to external software and back to sequence
after correcting it, you can export only audio track to WAV from the
sequence, edit, re-ingest and add it to the sequence as ...
Playout Engine supports various types of input signal which can be
used as a Live item source.
SCENARIO 1. ONLY RTP/UDP/SRT INPUT IS CONFIGURED
To set up the RTP/UDP/SRT input signal a separate tab is used in
Playout configurator.
In order to use th...
Actually Cinegy Capture is not designed to provide an SDI output. It
only has an RTP output as preview.
But if you need an SDI output you may use the Cinegy Playout or Cinegy
Encode which can get the Shared RAM preview from Capture and send it
to SDI ou...
The pre-process allows you to upscale/downscale and change framerate
on Output for selected source video.
For example if you have 1920X1080i on input SDI and select RTP Output
with pre-process 720X576 25P you get this video format on Output RTP
stream.
...
In Cinegy Playout we have settings on CG tab: Cinegy Type or Cinegy
Titler, so only one of the selected will be on output. Any CG's
created with Type will not play with Titler enabled and you will need
to have Type enabled in the playout config settings ...
In the Playout configuration of the 12-th branch of Cinegy Air, in the
Playback tab -> Output devices, the MPEG Recorder Output option is no
longer available. Earlier this output was used to record the signal to
the on-air automatically in a file. The "MP...
Timecode measures time in Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Fractions-of-seconds
called frames. However, in NTSC video, a frame is not an even fraction
of a second. Thus, NTSC timecode is always subtly off from real
time--by exactly 1.8 frames per minute.
Drop-fram...
The ":" and ";" are very classic and common indication for NDF
(Non-drop frame) and DF (drop frame) timecode calculation types.
PAL framerates are always calculated as Non-drop frames, but NTSC
framerates could be DF or NDF.
While non-drop timecode is...
The Queue Size option defines the maximum video buffer size on the
playout server.
It is being set up on the Playback tab of Playout configuration:
The Queue Size is specified in frames.
As a pre-read buffer, it holds frames to be output that are re...

Cinegy suggests a good solution that will make Cinegy Multiviewer
output its grid over SDI as easily as it does over IP or NDI. To have
an SDI output option, the only thing you need is Cinegy Multiviewer
and Cinegy Encode - a Cinegy Playout which acts as ...
