Cinegy releases major new version of Cinegy Air

Cinegy GmbH, the premier provider of software technology for digital video processing, asset management, video compression and automation, and playout, has released Cinegy Air version 22.12, a major upgrade on the current (21.9) version. The new version, part of Cinegy’s rolling development programme, also includes an update to the graphics and branding engine, now called Cinegy Title. 

Reflecting the growing interest in Ultra HD, Cinegy Air can now play out both HDR and SDR sources through an HLG Air engine, with the ability to select conversion LUTs per item. LUTs are applied automatically where possible, and can be manually selected from drop down options within the playlist tab. The playout engine can now also create a simulcast SDR stream from a primary HDR engine. 

Added output options for Player

Cinegy Air can now generate Kantar audio watermarks for audience measurement and content protection. Kantar Media content tracking is used by hundreds of broadcast networks around the world. 

Other new functionality includes enhanced preview playout for playlist verification. For multichannel operators Air Playlist Editor can now use audio matrix and character generator settings across multiple playlists, ensuring consistency across regional variations, for example. Cinegy Air now also supports the Rosstalk Protocol, to seamlessly control routers and other hardware from within the playlist.

The rebranded Cinegy Title is also updated, with a whole host of user interface refinements as well as stunning new graphics tools like auto expanding text boxes with background plates and the ability to create large composite backgrounds from multiple tiles of small images.
