Cinedeck is an ingest, recording, encoding, playback, and post-production handoff platform for the professional video production and broadcast industry. It spans hardware devices, software solutions, and the cloud-based Capture2Cloud. Its core positioning is not general-purpose enterprise video conferencing or marketing SaaS; instead, it is built for editable-format direct recording and reliable file delivery in multi-camera live production, studios, archives, government research, religious livestreaming, and broadcast post workflows.
Its capabilities center on multi-channel synchronized capture, edit-ready encoding, playlists, Live Logger, Live Replay, CaptureGrid, and insert editing. It supports formats such as ProRes, DNxHD/DNxHR, XDCAM, XAVC, AVC-I, JPEG2000, H.264, and HEVC, as well as containers including MOV, MP4, and MXF Op1A/OpAtom. Live Logging allows real-time tagging and can generate XML for Premiere, Avid, Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and MAM systems. CaptureGrid can monitor up to 100 channels from a single interface. Live Replay supports instant local or cloud-based replay and highlight clipping.
Cinedeck offers a fairly complete range of deployment options: hardware such as RX3 and ZX2U is suited to on-site production and machine rooms; CD2 is a software solution that can run on standard hardware; and Capture2Cloud can be deployed for cloud ingest via AWS Marketplace with daily pricing. For integrations, it supports NDI, SRT, SDI, IP2110, NAS/SAN, SMB, and iSCSI, along with Avid MediaCentral/Interplay, Edit While Capture, AMP, VDCP, and RS-422. Its RESTful API covers Cinedeck functions and preview capabilities, making it suitable for integration with MAM or custom production systems.
No specific pricing is listed on the public pages. CD2 is described as more economical and requiring no long-term commitment, while the cloud solution offers daily pricing on AWS Marketplace. Users can request a demo, a CD2 trial license, or a Capture2Cloud trial. For buyers, budget transparency is limited, so pricing needs to be confirmed through sales or a reseller.
Its strengths include broad broadcast-grade format support, flexible cloud/local deployment, strong redundant recording and master/proxy file capabilities, and deep integration with post-production and asset management workflows. The downsides are a high professional barrier to entry, many features that ordinary enterprise video teams may not need, limited public disclosure around security and compliance, and opaque pricing. It is best suited to TV stations, production companies, sports/event broadcast teams, and post-production workflows that require multi-camera ISO recording.
