Quick Start Guide

Standalone mode

Cinegy Capture reinvents the acquisition and encoding process, unifying the task of ingesting and generating edit and web proxies simultaneously in most modern industrial formats and containers from established MOV files through to such new standards as MXF AS-11 and many more between. The ability to apply various codecs and wrappers combinations provides full control over the resulting media and guarantees the solution to any challenges that broadcast professionals may face with. A state-of-art software codec Cinegy Daniel2 - the fastest and lightest codec in the world at the moment - was specially designed for fast multi-threaded parallel processing on CPU and GPU.

Operators can use as centralized service the powerful remote Cinegy Capture Control client application or web interface – whenever or wherever they need it. The effect of using such software is good, stable and gives the product a good reputation.

Just take a standard PC, install Cinegy Capture and start experiencing the benefits of cost-effective, centralized ingest controlled by anyone permitted.
