Cinegy Announces 'Cinegy Open'

Cinegy has announced a new initiative, Cinegy Open, to make tools and useful information freely available to the public.

Cinegy's APIs have been traditionally used internally to develop, test, and continuously improve its software solutions, an approach similar in many companies. However, Cinegy has said it is to place all of its APIs, manuals and documentation out for public consumption.

They will be updated automatically on a regular basis via a new Cinegy website, open.cinegy.com.

Cinegy Open will also offer a range of useful 'Cinegy Open Tools', designed for the IP convergence space – some under open source license – that can be downloaded for free and unconditional use without having to register. These tools, including codec and stream analysis tools, can be used individually or across an industry to test, check, analyse, convert, or benchmark new solutions or product rollouts.

Daniella Weigner, Managing Director, Cinegy, said: "We have lowered the drawbridge to our magic castle. We want to connect with people who have creative ideas but perhaps lack the tools or experience in their work environment to develop and test them. Cinegy Open, as the name implies, will enable developers to use our knowledge base as building blocks for new solutions, including new products of their own.

"In an internet age, to make a difference you have to be different. We believe in open standards and want to make a difference in our industry by being different in how we interact and support those who may be an eyelash away from 'the next big thing', but can't quite get there without the right tools. Others sell similar tools of course, but we simply want people to benefit from our knowledge and, in turn, drive our industry forward, faster, and for free."
