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
 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.
Note
 Cinegy Multiviewer v24.2 requires installation of Cinegy Route v22.10 which uses IGMP v3 that is a requirement for SSM (Source Specific Multicast). Using an older version of Cinegy Route Directory Service will cause the "Source IP" checkbox to become unavailable.

Important Known Issues

Note
 These limitations will be addressed in the next releases.

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

  • Blackmagic Design DeckLink video cards occasionally play video without sound or with distorted sound on output. Before using Blackmagic Design DeckLink cards for critical installations 24/7, extensive testing must be carried out in advance.
