Cinegy Playout is responsible for the playlist items playback. When configured as Cinegy Encode, the Cinegy Playout engine performs conversion of the signal from defined input device into configured output.

By default, Cinegy Playout is loaded automatically at system startup and restarts automatically in case of failure. When Cinegy Playout is started, the corresponding icon is displayed in the notification area of the taskbar. To see and control the status of all instances, right-click the icon in the taskbar and select the "Show Dashboard" command:

Playout_engine_RCM

The following Cinegy Playout Dashboard window will appear:
