Introduction
Pipeline
TM
is an industry-first, shareable, networked video capture system – a real-time media encoding
and decoding hardware accessory. Pipeline systems provide real-time SD and HD SDI ingest and
encoding into industry-standard QuickTime files, directly to network storage locations. Pipeline can also be
used to stream media directly into Telestream

media encoding applications, as well as 3rd party products, including Apple’s Final Cut Pro.
Digital media platforms can also be used to play out QuickTime files in supported formats to Pipeline for
real-time decoding and playout to SD and HD SDI.
Pipeline ingests media from tape or live sources, making it ideal for integration into a variety of broadcast,
post-production, government, and other professional media workflow applications. A comprehensive
Pipeline software development kit (SDK) is also available from Telestream, which enables easy integration
into 3rd party applications.
PIPELINE AUTOMATES REAL-TIME MEDIA WORKFLOWS
Designed into each Pipeline is the notion of ease of use for broadcasters, post-production houses,
government agencies, universities, and video professionals. Setting up a Pipeline is easy. Connect
Ethernet and SDI, attach an optional VTR, and configure your network settings – you’re often up and
running in under ten minutes.
