Release Notes

The Cinegy Subtitling Service is part of the common Cinegy workflow and can be used together with Cinegy Air for on-the-fly embedding of DVB Bitmap and/or Teletext data into a source IP stream, based on either a subtitle file or Live (by using the Newfor protocol).

This service is implemented as a sidecar to the main Cinegy Air service.

Major Improvements

  • added the PixelDepth parameter to define DVB subtitle encoding bit depth: 2, 4, or 8 bits per pixel (US 7700)

  • added support for diacritical marks in the Teletext encoder and decoder via Packet X/26 using Row Address function 10000–11111 at Presentation Level 1.5, enabling correct rendering of extended character sets (USs 7432, 7433)

  • added support for Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Greek languages (US 7766)

  • changed the behavior of the "EmptyPayloadWhenNoData" parameter to generate TS packets without payload when enabled in the DVB encoder configuration (defect 17787, ticket FYQ-585-85525)

  • enhanced detection of Newfor client disconnection

  • enhanced DVB encoder, improving encoding quality and color handling

  • added support for some special characters in Teletext for Latvian and Lithuanian languages (defect 16347, ticket LNH-423-38425)

  • fixed an issue in the Teletext encoder where subtitles with many diacritical marks were not fully rendered (defect 17865)

Important Known Issues

  • DVB subtitles in streams of 50p and 59.94p TV formats may be dropped in some cases of bitrate overflow (defect 16727).

  • Due to Teletext specification limitations, the Ukrainian characters Ґ/ґ are not supported and are mapped to Г/г in the Teletext encoder.
