The Cinegy Air playout server and broadcast automation system will be shown at IBC with a focus on running its core back-end functionality in a Docker environment on Linux.
According to the company, the system enables users to achieve "a great deal more with the hardware assets they already have”, and if they are migrating to the cloud, ensures they do so “with a minimum of costs".
Jan Weigner, Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Founder of Cinegy, said: “We see newcomers to the server and playout market claiming that ‘breaking the one channel to one server’ concept is novel. We have been using virtualisation and other methods to pack many more channels into small footprints for over 15 years.
"What we are showcasing at IBC this year is how users are now free to switch to Linux backend-based operations to get the absolute maximum performance, without the operators even noticing that anything has changed. Docker-based channel deployment brings many other advantages as well: instant scalability, fast migration, and total channel templatisation."
Other key Cinegy products at IBC will include Cinegy Desktop, a cross-platform, local, and cloud-based real-time production system for sports, news, and reality TV. The stand will also feature a Cinegy Studio area for presentations and debates throughout the show.
Noting that Cinegy will mark its 25th anniversary next year, Weigner added: "We were pioneers of software-defined media, and we survived by understanding the real issues facing the industry and developing solutions that resonated with our users. Today that means maximising existing hardware assets and minimising cloud cost, while increasing services and maintaining quality."
