Caution
 Before you start the Cinegy Multiviewer installation, it is recommended to uninstall any previous versions of Cinegy Multiviewer components that you may have on your machine.
Note
 This release of Cinegy Multiviewer tightens the enforcement of licenses in certain multi-layout usage scenarios. You must have enough licenses available to service all player elements in all active Cinegy Multiviewer layouts to remain within the terms of your licensed entitlement.
Caution
 Cinegy Multiviewer version 22.10 contains support for the latest NVIDIA boards which are only supported in newer NVIDIA drivers which, in turn, require a newer SDK to be utilized. This therefore means that the Cinegy Multiviewer v22.10 release requires a minimum NVIDIA driver version 456.81. Until other Cinegy software products (such as Cinegy Capture) are updated to utilize the newer NVIDIA SDK, customers should, where possible, avoid running them on the same machine as Cinegy Multiviewer. Please ensure that you have confirmed that the OS under which you are running Cinegy Multiviewer and the model of NVIDIA board which you are using are supported in the version of the NVIDIA driver you choose before starting any upgrades.
Note
 System memory and resources leak when creating and closing threads with NVIDIA graphics is detected in drivers version 526.67. The issue was reported to NVIDIA support (NVIDIA Incident Report 4027304) and is fixed in version 535.98. We recommend using NVIDIA graphics drivers version 535.98 or later to fix the system memory and resources leak. Please verify the resources usage after drivers upgrades.
Note
 Please perform the process of NVIDIA drivers update only upon stopping Cinegy applications. For detailed instructions on installing NVIDIA driver, please refer to the NVIDIA Drivers installation article.
