Cinegy Solutions Chosen by CANAL+ Polska to Expand Playout Capability
Cinegy, a premier provider of software technology for digital video processing, asset management, video compression, automation, and playout services, today announces that CANAL+ Polska has chosen its solutions for an expansion of its playout capability. The broadcaster, which delivers premium channels as part of its pay-TV offering, has deployed Cinegy Air PRO and Cinegy Capture PRO to support additional HD and Ultra HD channels, meeting the growing demand for high-quality content.
A Reliable and Scalable Solution
The combination of Cinegy Air and Cinegy Capture provides CANAL+ Polska with a reliable, stable, functional, and price-competitive software-based solution that is:
- Scalable
- Customizable
- Futureproof
The additional playout capability was delivered by CANAL+ Polska’s long-term partner and systems integrator, Studiotech Poland.
Client Testimonial
Hubert Pogorzelski, TV Production Systems Manager at CANAL+ Polska, commented:
“The new Cinegy system was easy to implement, can be booted extremely fast, and adding new channels is a rapid and effortless process. The system delivers robust core functionality for our playout needs, ensuring reliable 24/7 operation, and we’re collaborating with Cinegy to expand capabilities even further. We can also now operate it as a channel in a box for some of our services, in particular the thematic channels we provide.”
Custom Functionality Added
As part of the project, Cinegy’s Professional Services team, led by Simon Pilbeam, added user-specific functionality, including:
- Support for Kantar watermarking
- Additional specific counters in the GUI
Mike Efimov, International Sales Manager at Cinegy, stated:
“As well as increasing the number of channels, CANAL+ Polska is actively implementing closed captioning. We have cross-upgraded a significant part of the broadcast channels to use Air Ultimate, and the Professional Services team is carrying out further developments to expand the functionality.”
Futureproofing for Broadcasters
Efimov continued:
“Today, broadcasters need to protect any investment for the long term and ensure that the solutions they deploy are flexible and scalable enough to stand up to an evolving business and operational strategy. Cinegy has a great partnership with Studiotech Poland, which has been using our software for many years, and we are delighted that the team was able to recommend our systems to CANAL+ Polska for this latest expansion project.”
