There is a problem.

IIRC you have not provided any cineon sample files.

Also do know that Cineon can store completely custom color space
into bitstream. And to get proper representation for your display
device there are some conversion that needs to be done somehow.

FFmpeg currently does not have any support for Cineon (.cin file extension
with magic bytes 0x802a5fd7 at start) at all.

You could try GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick.
