Introduction Cinegy Air 14 has been released and is ready for evaluation, go-live testing and production use! We’ve added a fantastic number of enhancements since v12, and I am happy to recommend that people start using this version of the product – although, of course, mission critical workloads should follow suitable deployment plans in case of any problems. I’m proud of the team that has worked so hard on version 14, and I can honestly say this release has again set a new bar in quality and stability for a ‘point zero’ version.
Introduction Starting with Cinegy Air 11.3 direct integration is available between Cinegy Playout and the Cavena Subtitling platform. This takes the form of a plugin, hosted by the Cinegy Event Manager service, which provides relevant interoperability between a Cinegy Playout engine and the Cavena Subtitle Control software.
This post outlines how to configure the Cavena solution, and how to arrange the relevant software components as aligned to various user requirements for density and availability.
Introduction Cinegy Air 12 marks a new milestone for a product now over a decade in the market, and the first major release update to the product since August 2016.

As a software provider, we’ve always directed our customers to make best use of available tooling normally found inside any Enterprise IT deployment for managing their environment. Many technologies have come (and some gone) for tracking problems and for maintaining a healthy environment. Some fantastic products exist, such as SolarWinds for general IT or iControl from Miranda for broadcast, and these can help make managing an environment much easier. We understood that a Cinegy platform does not exist in isolation, and never tried to force yet-another-management tool onto customers for working with our software.
