Gospel Ministries International Selects Cinegy

Cinegy has announced the deployment of Cinegy Air and Cinegy Multiviewer by Gospel Ministries International (GMI).

Gospel Ministries International is a faith-based, volunteer-driven organisation based in the US that provides Christian programming through channels around the world including several in the Caribbean as well as the Americas and Europe. The channels use variations of Cinegy Air, the real-time playout server and multi-channel broadcast automation software, and Cinegy Multiviewer.

Cinegy Air, which is now available on the Amazon Web Services Marketplace, provides a broadcast automation front-end and a real-time video server for SD, HD and/or Ultra HD (4K) playout, in an integrated software suite.

Cinegy Multiviewer enables broadcasters and production houses to monitor streams from satellites, camera feeds, playout devices and other sources locally and remotely.

Derek Solomon of GMI said: "Prior to the installation of the Cinegy software we were experiencing very unreliable playout on some of our channels, so much so that we had to playout using two servers so that each could be restarted once every 24 hours to ensure continuity. We wanted an affordable, software-based solution that fully supported an IP-based workflow and was professional, reliable and standards compliant – all of which we found with Cinegy."

Jan Weigner, Cinegy Co-owner and Managing Director, added: "The flexibility and cost-effectiveness of our software is ideal for GMI's desire to provide secure and reliable programming across its network and we are pleased to have been able to resolve the playout issues they were having."
