Deluxe Mediacloud and Cinegy to strengen exclusive collaboration

Deluxe and Cinegy are delighted to announce the further strengthening of their existing strategic collaboration, having agreed to a deeper exclusive agreement that will support Deluxe MediaCloud.

MediaCloud, poised to revolutionize playout in the broadcast space, joins the ecosystem of services from Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, geared to simplify the media landscape by increasing efficiency while decreasing costs.

Building on a highly adaptive IT-centric business model that leverages from clustered technologies within disparate data centers, Deluxe is setting new standards for how content owners and broadcasters engage with and deliver their media properties.

Daniella Weigner, Managing Director of Cinegy, says, Cinegy has been committed to collaborative, robust, scalable digital media and broadcast workflow tools for over 10 years. The strategic fit with Deluxe's world-leading provision of services is perfect and means that our two companies can increasingly work together to maintain a world class solution.

MediaCloud comprises three elements: Portal (an orchestration and asset management suite of broadcasting tools presented through a web browser); Playout (a software centric, highly scalable, resilient and feature rich playout platform); and Delivery (a suite of tools developed to reliably and securely transport premium broadcast streams across virtually any network topology).

Deluxe MediaCloud is delivering cloud-based playout and associated services now. Using Cinegy technology in conjunction with Deluxe workflow innovation, the operational and business benefits of a platform-as a-service can be realized by broadcasters and other media organizations around the world. controlling infrastructure, technology and staffing costs offers customers savings and facilitates creativity alongside faster launch times. Content owners can leverage their ownership rights for brands and events, and monetize their assets more easily. Who wouldn't want or need that? Weigner says.

MediaCloud delivers to any broadcast format, with a very high service quality from a highly resilient infrastructure. Robust system and data security levels rival those found in major banks and military operations and full disaster recovery is implicit within the service offering.
