cinegyCinegy Capture network appliance software for real-time ingest

Cinegy Capture is an independent ingest tool using many of the industry-leading components developed for other Cinegy products. Cinegy Capture reinvents the acquisition and transcode process, unifying the task of ingesting material and generating edit or web proxies. No longer bound to a single machine, anyone can use Cinegy Capture as an appliance with the simple yet powerful cross-platform control client - whenever or wherever they need it. Just take a standard PC, add one or multiple SDI cards, install Cinegy Capture and start experiencing the benefits of cost effective, centralized ingest controlled by anyone in your workgroup.

Overview

The idea behind Cinegy Capture is as simple as it is revolutionary; one or multiple instances of Cinegy Capture can be installed as a self-starting service on a commodity server or standard PC and configured to work with specified video hardware or IP streams. Once started Cinegy Capture announces itself to the network as an appliance that is controlled remotely via a web-hosted application, meaning install free and cross-platform operation from Windows and Mac OS alike.

The user can receive real-time feedback in the web interface using Microsoft Silverlight allowing instantaneous review of what is being captured - even when working over constrained internet links.

There is no limit to how many instances of Cinegy Capture can run on a machine other than processor performance and available space to install SDI cards. With a high performance server or workstation up to four AVID DNxHD or XDCAM HD422 streams can be captured simultaneously.

Optional: All the captured files can be simultaneously written to network storage and local disk,

allowing redundancy.

Flexibility Redefined

Cinegy Capture makes ingest a flexible yet reliable resource that can be shared between multiple people. With its wide video format support and its ability to create multiple formats and proxy copies at the same time, Cinegy Capture Pro can replace separate ingest and transcode machines that were previously required to achieve the same.

The built-in capability to encode a video frame once, and create both Avid-compatible MXF and FCP-compatible MOV files gives new flexibility for mixed-environment productions.

The use of inexpensive, commodity hardware combined with attractive price points makes Cinegy Capture the best value for money, allowing customers to purchase the simpler Express edition or the full-featured Pro edition depending on their needs.

cinegyService-Oriented Architecture

Cinegy Capture uses the latest service-oriented architectural principles, to allow Cinegy Capture to be used as flexibly as possible using open web services by systems integrators and customers. Cinegy are also working closely with AMWA and EBU to make sure that Cinegy Capture is one of the first Cinegy products to adhere to the emerging Framework for Interoperable Media Services [FIMS] standards, designed to make it simpler for broadcasters to deploy and maintain complex systems. Using these principles, coupled with the advances made in modern computing power, this software-based platform can support both pre-existing ingest scenarios as well as offer support for a whole new set of uses, from OEM integration through to OB truck recording. The product itself is split into two main components:

• The service-based Cinegy Capture ‘Engine’, responsible for performing the core functions of recording, encoding and controlling and reacting to devices.

• The client-based Cinegy Capture ‘Control Panel’ provides the GUI application, built as panel modules layered together to meet particular and varied ingest requirements.

The Product EditionsCinegy Capture Express is the entry-level edition aimed mostly at the production community allowing, among the many formats supported, the creation of AVID DNxHD media for use in AVID Media Composer. This frees up dedicated edit stations that would otherwise just be used for ingest purposes. Supported SDI cards are commonly used boards by vendors such as AJA, BlackMagic Design and DVS.

Cinegy Capture Pro is the ultimate edition of Cinegy Capture supporting all features of the above Express product, along with the option of encoding multiple streams simultaneously, replacing the requirement for a second stage transcode. For example the generation of broadcast-quality, proxy-quality and web formats required for many MAM or archive workflows. Cinegy Capture can also be used to create high-res media for multiple different NLE platforms at the same time, such as outputting MXF files for AVID and MOV files for Final Cut Pro in one pass.

Control Panel Features• Tabbed, resizable, scaling vector panels. Dockable elements, dynamically managed depending upon scenario

role.• Support for multiple Cinegy Capture engines to be viewed / managed from a single instance of control panel.

Sizable confidence monitor via H.264 stream with audio.• Engine selection gallery view with dynamically updated image thumbnails.• Sony 9-pin based device control, allowing web-based shuttling of remote VTRs.• Information layout is designed to make the most important information prominent. • Any engine status can be viewed at the click of a button, along with real-time feedback of engine server statistics

such as CPU and disk. • Lockable interface with ability to enter view or control mode. • Profile-based job control, for simple setup of repetitive tasks.

The Cinegy Capture control panel consists of multiple resizable, moveable elements displaying information about the capture service and engine.

Dynamically updated information about the CPU, memory usage and available disk drives is displayed in the Server Control and Status tab.

The recording engine can be started/stopped from the Engine Selection panel by simply right clicking

the thumbnail and making your selection.
