IBC 2019 - Sharp and Cinegy demonstrate end-to-end 8K workflow

IBC 2019, 13-17 September, Stand 7.A01: Cinegy, the global leader for broadcast playout software in the cloud, has announced that it will showcase the full scope of its 8K recording, capture, archive, and encoding capabilities during IBC 2019.

On its IBC stand, Cinegy will feature the eye-popping Sharp 8M-B80AX1E 8K displays, the first 80-inch 8K professional display to be mass produced. The Sharp 8M-B80AX1E has 33 million pixels (7680 x 4320), four times that of 4K UHD and sixteen times the resolution of full HD.

Also on display is Sharps 8C-B60A 8K broadcast camera delivering the glorious 8K images in 4:2:2 10 bit via four 12G SDI outputs to Cinegys Capture PRO real-time 8K recording software. The 8K video files are written to a 10 Gbit shared NAS storage and then edited while being recorded by Cinegys Desktop Edit software and/or by Adobe Premiere Pro. Finally, the edited 8K video is played out using Cinegys Air PRO playout software to Sharps 80 8K display. End-to-end and glass-to-glass all in realtime using common PC and server hardware.

Cinegy CEO Jan Weigner said, Earlier this year we announced that our entire software-defined television product range is now 8K capable. We had an opportunity to thoroughly test and confirm those capabilities on Sharp's new 8K displays at their Hamburg offices.

We connected a small PC running our Cinegy Player 3 software and played 8K clips that had been filmed by Sharps 8K broadcast camera and the results were astonishing. I can confirm that Sharp's 8K displays are the only ones to date that legitimately display a true 8K picture using existing NVIDIA graphics cards on a Cinegy software-powered PC or workstation.

Peter Heins, Senior Product Manager, Visual Solutions, Sharp Information Systems Europe, further clarified, We are proud to be working with Cinegy, showcasing our latest addition to Sharp's 8K ecosystem. We are delivering on our vision to charge the world with 8K, offering resolution that transforms our ability to display reality and Cinegy is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this vision. The new 80-inch 8K display will support new and exciting business applications that rely on ultimate image precision and clarity, and we look forward to seeing the benefits of our collaboration with Cinegy.

In addition to showcasing real-time 8K imagery on its stand, Cinegy will also feature other 8K-ready products that are expanding Cinegy software's appeal in enterprise IT and professional AV markets.

Weigner added, All of this is to clearly illustrate, rather than just talk about, the fact that working in 8K from end to end - in real time - has never been easier. Affordable 8K SDI cards are readily available, Sharp's display is the current 8K benchmark, and our software, in combination with our Daniel2 GPU codec, eliminate any obstacles to 8K production. Furthermore, by bringing the Daniel2 codec to Adobe Premiere for Windows and Mac, we open up the world of 8K production to millions of existing Adobe users.

Cinegy will demonstrate its 8K capabilities on in Hall 7, Stand A01 during IBC 2019. For more information, visit www.cinegy.com
