About: Cinegy Desktop Single

Cinegy Desktop is a universal production tool that provides real-time access to media in Cinegy Archive, along with a powerful suite of tools for logging and editing, and an almost limitless ability to import and export media to third-party non-linear editing and automation systems. Cinegy Desktop runs on standard office IT infrastructure and can be installed on any user’s desktop within a network environment. It allows users to collaborate from their desktops, without tying up expensive editing bays. Full system functionality is available from any workplace, editing bay or machine room for maximum workflow flexibility.

User Interface

Cinegy Desktop identifies the user by their login and password, which is centrally resolved via existing ADS or LDAP servers. The identity determines the access rights, user profile and software features for the individual user. The Cinegy Desktop user interface mimics standard Windows functionality wherever possible making it intuitive and easy-to-use. The Cinegy Desktop client allows users to access Cinegy Archive via the familiar explorer interface to create, manage and edit items in the central database.

Cinegy Desktop offers standard controls for viewing video material, including playback control with a mouse, jumping to events and shuffling. A clip can be viewed in different quality levels (high, medium or low) as defined during ingest.

MAM Client

Cinegy software uses the most advanced accumulative metadata collection methods. Ingested video clips automatically inherit information including tape or disk reference IDs, cameraman, date, program name, rights, resolution, type, legal information, and production notes. Users can add additional information to a video clip or a section of a clip. The metadata model used can be freely customized by the system administrator without any programming knowledge.

Logging

The logging functionality in Cinegy Desktop can be applied either during or following ingest. In addition to basic logging, more advanced logging is done with the logging plug-in, using dedicated logging templates customized for the specific task and material type. Unique templates can be created for different organizations. The template creation requires no programming skills.

Search

Cinegy Desktop features a sophisticated search engine that can be used to quickly locate required video media and documents, even in very large archives. Users can search and sort content by keywords or metadata values. A simple search delivers results quickly; a federated search adds intranet and Internet access; while an advanced search enables further functionality for more precise results.
