Cinegy delivers software-defined television for the real demands of today’s content world at NAB Show

Cinegy GmbH, premier provider of software-defined television technology, will show how its solutions answer the real challenges facing content creators and broadcasters today at NAB Show 2026 (Booth N809, Las Vegas Convention Centre, 19 – 22 April). The presentations will show how highly refined software applications can deliver clearly tailored solutions without huge hardware investments or cloud commitments. 

With the demand for eyeballs ever-growing, media businesses are focusing on content, investing to create the most engaging and attention-grabbing programming, using the best of today’s proven technology. Cinegy’s software solutions are of course scalable to higher resolutions when future demand drives this, but it is clear that for the majority of today’s content creators and deliverers, achieving maximum efficiency is the primary emphasis. 

The Cinegy software environment is designed to be truly modular. While encompassing content capture, production, multiviewers, workflow, playout and automation, users are free to select just the elements they need for their businesses. NAB Show 2026 sees significant upgrades to key products including Cinegy Air (playout and automation), Cinegy Capture, Cinegy Route and Cinegy Multiviewer: upgrades dictated by the real experiences of users. 

Central to the Cinegy philosophy is the importance of being open to multiple formats and protocols, allowing users to decide what works best for them. It is a rare broadcast facility that does not have to handle signals in SDI, NDI and SMPTE ST2110 formats, on in-house networks and as SRT streams. For 20 years Cinegy Route has provided completely transparent interworking between all these signals – video, audio and metadata – allowing users to design workflows not bound by technical limitations. 

“Our primary design goal is to make our software powerful, but also extremely efficient,” said Jan Weigner, CTO and co-founder of Cinegy. “That means we are delivering the real solutions that our users demand, on standard hardware that they already have. With the cost of IT hardware increasing, GPUs are becoming very hard to obtain, and cloud providers are not addressing the economic needs of the media businesses. 

“That is why it is tremendously beneficial to be able to offer real solutions to practical requirements in modern, microservices software that can be implemented anywhere by anyone,” Weigner continued. “Our systems are designed for maximum performance – we support object-based storage as a matter of course – and they are fully scalable into an enterprise data center or the cloud if that is what works best. But our experience is most broadcast businesses like to keep their technical operations visible and want to get the longest life out of their investments. That is where we excel.”
