LiveMode Builds Agile Content Ingest With Cinegy

Cinegy, a provider of software-defined television technology, has extended the ingest facility at leading Brazilian sports company LiveMode.

LiveMode has taken an all-embracing approach to sports rights and marketing in Brazil, connecting a broad range of sports to live audiences across platforms, maximizing engagement and returns. Working across more than 10 platforms – including the CazéTV channel – and reaching more than 100 million people, LiveMode holds the rights to major global sports and events, including the streaming and capturing of the 2026 World Cup.

The nature of the business means that LiveMode has to be extremely agile, ingesting multiple simultaneous streams securely, managing huge amounts of content, and ensuring media is correctly transcoded and formatted for all the different platforms it serves. The company first sought to evaluate Cinegy Capture as the ingest device in 2024, where a proof-of-concept exercise resulted in the purchase of four licenses. LiveMode has now returned to add six more licenses, bringing the total to 18 full HD channels working simultaneously 24/7, ready for a very busy summer of sport in 2026.

Cinegy technology is entirely software-based and hardware agnostic. This is particularly crucial today where the price and availability of hardware is unpredictable: the ability to build solutions for major projects cost-effectively is a vital business advantage.

“Cinegy is very fast and easy to deploy”, explained Henrique Jurgens, IT Infrastructure Architect, Media, Streaming, Cloud and OTT at LiveMode. “Once you receive the license, the operation can be running the same day. We are regularly working at many live sport events at the same time, and easy deployment of ingest and content management makes our entire operation run smoother.”
