CANAL+ Polska Expands Playout Capability

Cinegy has announced 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, Cinegy Capture PRO to support additional HD and Ultra HD channels as it meets the growing demand for high quality content.

The combination of Cinegy Air and Cinegy Capture gives CANAL+ Polska a reliable, stable, functional and price competitive software-based solution that is scalable, customisable, and futureproof. The additional playout capability was delivered by CANAL+ Polska’s long-term partner and systems integrator, Studiotech Poland.

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."

As part of the project, Cinegy's Professional Services team led by Simon Pilbeam added some user-specific functionality. This included support for Kantar watermarking and the additional specific counters in GUI.
