PipelineTM is a real-time media encoding hardware accessory that provides flexible tape ingest into Telestream's FlipFactory or Episode as well as third party products such as Apple's Final Cut Pro. Pipeline is ideal for integration into a variety of broadcast, post-production, government and other professional media applications. A complete Software Development Kit (SDK) enables easy integration into 3 party applications.Pipeline can also deliver QuickTime-wrapped DV25 or IMX 30/40/50 files directly to a storage location on your network. This provides a fast and easy way to ingest media from tape and store the encoded media files to an archive or digital asset management system.
Features
- Real-time encoding from SDI to DV25, IMX 30/40/50, MPEG-2, I-frame standard definition video and decoding to SDI
- Share encoding resources across the network
- Uses common network protocols RTSP, RTP, TCP, UDP
- Adaptable to a variety of professional tape ingest needs
Standard network communication
Pipeline uses standard network protocols for device control and configuration, as well as for transporting individual media elements. Pipeline sessions are setup and controlled using RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) while individual audio/video elements are delivered using RTP (Real-TimeTransport) over UDP or TCP.
A better way to ingest baseband media
The flexible Pipeline network encoding device offers significant advantages and cost savings over traditional PC capture card solutions. It is more reliable, eliminating the susceptibility of a server/card model. It removes operating system and driver incompatibilities.
Accessible from any workstation on your network
Shared network access makes Pipeline a cost-effective video capture solution. Any user connected to the network can access available Pipeline channels, eliminating the need for a dedicated workstation for each user.
Applications:
- Batch ingest allows users to encode multiple clips from a single tape
- Schedule live ingest - Pipeline can be used to capture incoming feeds that occur at a later time
- Encode tapes into online digital libraries and DAM systems
- Print clips to tape for sharing with clients or colleagues
