Security Protection

Before working with Cinegy Air, you can define the startup protection parameters and assign to the users the privileges to log in to the application.

Important
Refer to the Security paragraph to learn how to activate the security protection.

When launching Cinegy Air with the security protection activated, the interface will be locked, all the controls will be inactive. To activate the interface, choose the "Unlock Cinegy Air…​" command from the "Playout" main menu. You will be asked to authorize the application:

air_logon

Here enter the user’s name and password and press "OK".

In the case when the entered user name and/or password is invalid, the login fails and the following error message appears:

air_logon_error

The interface can be deactivated by selecting the "Lock air control…​" command from the "Playout" main menu.

If for some reason the specified via channel configuration *.MCRActive playlist becomes invalid, the given playlist will be restored from backup when launching the Cinegy Air Control application. The corresponding error message occurs:

air_launch_error
Note
The backup file will not contain the last change applied to the playlist.

Multiple Clients Connectivity

Having launched Cinegy Air with multiple channels configured, select the channels you wish to control by checking the corresponding options:

select_channels_to_control

Only the selected channels are loaded into the control application. Selecting the channels enables running multiple Cinegy Air applications on a single machine simultaneously; thus, allowing one operator to work with multiple channels and playlists independently with no need to switch between them. Choose the "Select all / Deselect all" option to load all the configured channels.

Note
The channel selection is remembered and recalled during the next Cinegy Air control application start.

The "Select Channels to control" dialog can be recalled during the working session via the "Select Channels" command from the "Playout" main menu:

select_channels_from_menu

The channels selected in the "Select Channels to control" dialog will be open in their respective tabs. If the channel(s) were deselected, the corresponding channel tab(s) will be closed.
