Cinedeck has partnered with Exacta Technologies to launch a new hardware platform that runs on our new CD2 software. The platform, available on Proline by Exacta’s high-performance workstations and certified by Cinedeck, will be available exclusively to Cinedeck partners in the UK and EMEA region.  

Powerful, Feature Rich Solution 

Media teams have specific performance requirements of their solutions. They need to have confidence that their chosen tools can sustain demand without compromising quality and consistency. The new platform boasts cutting-edge specifications designed to meet the demands of complex video production and post-production workflows. Features include scheduled record, group record, simultaneous HiRes/LowRes proxy capture, Chrome browser support, Dante audio support, and 4K encode capabilities.  

With the Playlist Manager, users can create playlists of captured/external media, re-order clips on the fly, and playout SDI, SRT, NDI. Additional benefits include fully customizable RESTful API for interoperability and an advanced user interface, which features customizable views, pre-sets, and overlays, drag and drop elements, and the ability to control multiple servers and cloud instances with one UI. Users will also benefit from Cinedeck’s global software support and Proline by Exacta’s next day advanced parts replacement. 

Best of Show Software

 Cinedeck’s CD2 Ingest software makes it quick and easy for broadcasters and content producers to ingest raw footage ready for editing and distribution. With features such as advanced video processing, real-time encoding, and efficient media management, CD2 is a powerful tool that helps video production teams save time and increase productivity. Users can ingest using CD2 and distribute live thanks to Edit While Record and Playout While Record features. For non-live, ingested content can be scheduled using the Cinedeck multi-channel control app. 

 CD2 enables multi-camera ingest and supports a wide range of input formats, including JPEG2000, XAVC, ProRes, DNxHR, 4K Multicam, and Cinedeck recorders. It also supports all major input sources, such as SRT, NDI, 3G/12G and IP-2110. 

State of the Art Hardware

The Exacta Technologies Group has over two decades of experience building ultra high performance hardware, the Proline range of systems have been purposefully created to suit media, film, and video professionals. Proline systems exceed the rigorous performance requirements of the media industry. With efficiency at the core, Proline systems are designed to be powerful and engineered to be quiet, with the added bonus of having a sleek design. The partnership will combine the best from both companies, and deliver the highest levels of performance and reliability.

Sharing his thoughts on the partnership, our VP Sales EMEA and APAC, James Cranfield, commented: “This collaboration with the Exacta Technologies Group makes perfect sense for our customers. Exacta Technologies is a trusted provider of hardware solutions for the film and video sector and its range of Proline workstations are built to handle the high demands of media workflows. Combining Proline with CD2 provides an advanced solution that offers the highest levels of performance, reliability, and usability for production teams. We’re always looking for ways to revolutionize our customer’s media workflows, and this partnership is a great demonstration of that.”
