MUNICH—Cinegy has announced that it will showcase the latest version of its software-based Cinegy Multiviewer at the NAB Show 2024, April 13-17 in Las Vegas.
A single instance of the multiviewer software, used around the world by broadcasters, the professional AV community, government and industry, can monitor, analyze and display hundreds of incoming feeds on one or more screens and optionally also stream the output in a range of IP addresses. streaming formats, the company said.
Supported input formats range from traditional SDI and DVB/ATSC transport streams to now common IP formats, such as NDI, SRT and SMPTE 2110, the report said.
By focusing on features such as GPU acceleration capabilities, Cinegy optimizes performance by reducing server CPU load and increasing scalability. This approach increases efficiency, maximizes hardware performance, reduces energy demand and protects investments, making the solution more sustainable, the report said.
Cinegy Multiviewer has offered GPU acceleration using NVIDIA GPUs for years. Following requests from many customers with version 24.2 of Cinegy Multiviewer, AMD GPU acceleration is now supported, as well as the mixed use of NVIDIA and AMD GPUs in one system, the company said.
Cinegy Multiviewer is a widely used solution for professional NDI monitoring. NDI sources do not always transmit standard signals. To address the challenges of non-standard NDI feeds and provide a smooth and efficient monitoring experience, Cinegy Multiviewer 24.2 now offers an NDI source tolerance mode to make integration of these sources easy, the report said.
The Remote Control API within Cinegy Multiviewer 24.2 has been enhanced with an emphasis on layout manipulation, allowing users to more accurately navigate their monitoring workflows. The company has also added a WebSocket Preview feature that allows users to view streams (or full Multiviewer screens) with low latency directly in a web browser on any internet connection without the need for additional plugins and software.
Automatic and accurate GPU identification and easy selection via drop-down menus help simplify resource allocation and hardware setup management. In the same way that GPU resources can be allocated, they can be allocated for encoding the output stream for remote stream delivery, the report said.
Cinegy Multiviewer 24.2 supports SMPTE ST 2110 devices as input sources, such as cards from partner vendors such as Deltacast and AJA Video, as well as Blackmagic’s Decklink IP.
