Release Notes

The Cinegy Capture bundle includes the following components:

Cinegy Capture Manager is installed with the Cinegy Capture server and is responsible for performing the core functions of recording, encoding, controlling, and reacting to devices; it performs all the stages of managing Cinegy Capture engines.

Cinegy Capture Archive Adapter is controlled by Cinegy Capture Manager and allows the user to integrate Cinegy Capture with Cinegy Archive for direct ingest into centralized asset management systems.

Cinegy Capture Control connects to the Cinegy Capture engines to manage the ingest, encoding, and processing of streamed data. It supports both manual and automated file recording and archival ingest using customizable templates. Cinegy Capture Control also provides comprehensive information about engine configurations, system parameters, and real-time recording status, ensuring efficient and reliable management of media capture workflows.

Cinegy Capture Planner is responsible for the automated processing of jobs according to the schedule. It can work with multiple servers simultaneously.

Cinegy Capture Web Control is a scalable panel that provides remote control of capturing via a web-hosted application from a standard PC or a mobile gadget running on any operating system.

  • fixed an issue occurring with a specific configuration where Capture Engine was set for 10-bit stream processing while using an 8-bit live preview (H.264 or MPEG) with any 8-bit encoder (defect 17305, ticket YWA-932-71871)

  • fixed an issue with real-time preview in pseudo-interlaced mode for SD format (defect 17266)

  • fixed an issue where bit-depth settings were ignored when auto-detecting color primaries (defect 17413, ticket FCL-643-69434)

  • fixed an issue with creating a new Roll when the midnight (24:00:00:00 timecode) boundary was crossed during capture sessions using the "One Roll per session" or "One Roll per day" rules (defect 17515)

– Capture Control

  • improved CPU/GPU usage indicator (US 7606)

  • implemented marking of mandatory fields in the Template Editor (US 7092)

  • improved handling of external tape and disk devices to ensure playback stops when the recording session ends (defect 17528)

  • improved the indication of "S FWD" and "S BWD" buttons on the device control panel (defect 17529)

  • renamed the device control panel (defect 17530)

  • fixed an issue where clicking the area to the right of the checkbox unintentionally toggled the "Override existing files", "BITC enabled", and "Do not split at midnight" options in the Template Editor (defect 17240, ticket WMM-290-13280)

  • fixed big delay when starting the job using Air Control secondary event (defect 15748, ticket PBJ-772-55441)

– Capture Manager

  • fixed an issue with the display of Capture Engine information when the Capture Service was stopped

  • fixed an issue with the display of user information in the "Log On As" field in the Capture Engine information area (defect 17080, ticket PTO-701-20803)

  • fixed an issue with displaying the Cinegy Capture service description when the engine was stopped

– Capture Planner

  • removed the footer from the GUI

Upgrade Notes

Important Known Issues

  • HEVC preview in Cinegy Capture Control is currently supported only by NVIDIA GPUs and will not function with AMD or Intel graphics cards (defect 17170).

  • HEVC 10-bit is not currently supported on Intel GPUs (defect 17221).

  • HEVC Intel GPU encoding with chroma 4:2:2 is incorrectly recorded as chroma 4:2:0 (defect 17222).

Third-Party Known Issues

  • Customers are advised to consider installing the latest security drivers update from NVIDIA. For details, refer to the NVIDIA Security Bulletin from October 2024 https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5586

  • Two issues were identified with NVIDIA GPU drivers version 526.67. The first is a system memory and resource leak when creating and closing threads, reported to NVIDIA support under Incident Report 4027304, and fixed in driver version 535.98. The second issue concerns H.264 interlaced video being incorrectly marked as progressive, reported under Incident Report 4005908 and fixed in version 553.35. We recommend using NVIDIA graphics drivers version 553.35 or later, which includes fixes for both issues. Please verify system resource usage and video encoding behavior after upgrading the NVIDIA driver. For installation instructions, refer to the NVIDIA Drivers installation article.

  • NVIDIA RTX and other Turing-generation GPU boards no longer support interlaced H.264 encoding. This applies to all versions of any Cinegy software supporting GPU encoding and is a hardware limitation of the NVIDIA boards. Boards of Pascal and earlier generations are not affected. If using GPU-accelerated NVIDIA features, please be careful to match your settings to the capabilities of your board.

  • Long MPEG-2 files wrapped in MXF OP1a cannot be played in Adobe Premiere (defect 17475, ticket UBF-384-20038)

  • Blackmagic Design DeckLink video cards occasionally play video without sound or with distorted sound on the output. This issue may be related to a PCI bus problem when working with the new generation of processors.

    The following recommendations can be tried to address the Blackmagic Design DeckLink stability issue, verifying the audio problem occurrence after each step:

    1. Install the latest Blackmagic Design DeckLink drivers.

    2. Update the BIOS.

    3. Enable the "Above 4G Decode" setting in the BIOS.

    4. Enable the "Resizable BAR" setting in the BIOS.

    If the issue is resolved after completing any step, the remaining steps can be skipped.

    If the audio issue persists, please contact Blackmagic Design for further recommendations.
