Cinegy GmbH, the premier provider of software technology for digital video processing, asset management, video compression and automation, and playout, is working with Tyrell, leading solutions company in the UK and Ireland, to deliver an innovative, cost-effective playout solution. The system is rolled out as part of Tyrell Cloud, a bespoke, secure cloud service developed specifically for the needs of the media industry.

Central to the solution is Cinegy Air, the powerful realtime broadcast automation and server application. Like all Cinegy solutions it is entirely implemented in virtualized software, so is a perfect match for the vendor-agnostic Tyrell Cloud. It provides fully automated playout in any resolution up to Ultra HD and 8k, with the option to take manual control as operations demand.

Cinegy Air is designed to take advantage of cloud hosting, including efficient hardware utilization, instant deployment of additional channels and functionality, and inexpensive high-availability clustering. The system is intuitive to establish and run, and the first installation includes the integrated Cinegy Multiviewer. Winner of an NAB Product of the Year Award, this is known as the most flexible multiviewer ever, and provides comprehensive signal analysis, monitoring and alerts to minimize the requirement for engineers and operators while maintaining optimum signal quality.

Cinegy Air is deployed as part of the Tyrell Cloud Capture service at The Media Production and Technology Show, 2023. Video streams are presented from Cinegy Air in SRT format to Tyrell Cloud Capture where it is ingested ready for editing. Cinegy Multiviewer provides us with a visual tally on the streams whilst Tyrell Cloud Capture allows users to manage incoming streams, benefit from visual telemetry about the streams and direct them to other services within Tyrell Cloud.

Daniella Weigner, Managing Director of Cinegy, said “This is a great example of how we can work with a strong partner to create a rich solution that meets very specific needs. It really shows the benefits of well-conceived software solutions: our software and the Tyrell Cloud are both designed to be easy to integrate to create precisely tailored systems which accurately meet the user’s needs.”
