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...
Cinegy TS Analyzer 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 [h...
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 ...
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 -...
The 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...
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...
Cinegy chose to move to UTC because it fixed a lot of issues to do with daylight saving, etc. The Date/time of the event is now stored according to ISO 8601 standards in the logs. Our as-run logs are output in comma-separated values format to allow thei...

In some cases, users employ Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client software to connect to another computer over a network connection while the other computer runs Cinegy software. RDP client processes the received commands and displays images using its gr...
The solution for the customer who wants to record the signal to the on-air automatically in a file is to use Cinegy Capture with SharedRAM to exchange the frames - Secondary Events may start/stop the recording. However, you need to have an extra license f...
The Queue Size option defines the maximum video buffer size on the playout server. It is being set up on the Playback tab of the Playout configuration: The Queue Size is specified in frames. As a pre-read buffer, it holds frames to be output that ar...
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 that acts as a...
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...
The Cinegy Playout engine generates the playout preview and cued preview feedback streams for control applications such as the Cinegy Air control and Cinegy Studio control. Since Cinegy Air v21 the playout engine generates the feedback stream using SRT ...
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...
_NOTE: The drivers should be downloaded and installed before use. The plugged device should be properly recognized in the system._ Cinegy Prompter can be controlled by external devices: remote controllers that emulate keyboard shortcuts and game control...
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. ...
It is not possible to control graphics separately on several Air engines - with CG you are controlling all properly configured and connected servers simultaneously. It's typically used when you need to run the same templates on multiple engines. You ca...
The ":" and ";" are very classic and common indications 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 i...
Actually Cinegy Capture is not designed to provide an SDI output. 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 output. Firstly you need to configure th...

Here are some general guidance and links to some resources. First of all, you need to know that Cinegy software works with both VMWare (VMware ESXi Server (formerly VMware ESX)) and HyperV. The only thing is that you need to use an NVIDIA A10 GPU card o...
MXF FILES have a built-in index which results in data being read in precise fragments with minimal overhead and the reading is nearly always sequential. MPG (TS) FILES don't have an index, they have timestamps instead, which need to be located within th...
Consider the following scenario: * The metadata field for a clip in a Roll is filled in, for example, with the word "interview". * A ClipBin is created from the Roll using the "Publish a Roll" command, causing the metadata to be inherited from the o...
If only information about the import operator is needed, you can get some info from the metadata. We recommend using a small pre-script that extracts the name of a file owner from AD and enters it into a custom metadata field. # IMPORT PRE param($provi...
Cinegy Multiviewer in the virtual environment is a common solution and is used by many customers. The best practice is using server GPUs, that might be bridged to a virtual OS (Tesla, NVIDIA AXX, NVIDIA Lxx series) using e.g. RemoteFX tool in Hyper-V. ...
