Pipeline can play out SD and HD TIFO or QuickTime files with Uncompressed (HD only), DV, IMX
30|40|50, ProRes 422, DNxHD, and DVCProHD files to Pipeline systems for decoding into SDI (NTSC or
PAL format) in real time. Pipeline also provides a fast and easy way to ingest media from tape in real time,
encode to the same formats plus MJPEG A, and save the file to servers, archives, or digital asset
management systems.
TELESTREAM’S PIPELINE FAMILY OF PRODUCTS
The Pipeline product line consists of three products: Pipeline SC, Pipeline Quad, and Pipeline HD Dual.
Pipeline SC
Pipeline SC is a single-channel, single-session device. It is ideally suited for low-volume workflows where
easy location and setup is important.

Pipeline SC offers these features:
• Network-accessible SDI video encoding and playout
• Real-time encoding from standard definition NTSC/PAL SDI to DV, DVCPro, IMX 30|40|50, ProRes 422
SQ (SD), MJPEG A, and MPEG-2 50 mb/sec I-frame video
• Real-time decoding from standard definition DV, DVCPro, IMX, ProRes 422 SQ, and MPEG-2 50mb/
sec I-frame to PAL/NTSC SDI video
• Extends FlipFactory, Final Cut Pro, and Episode to include workflows with tape or live sources
• VBI closed caption and time code data extraction
• Shared network access to Pipeline saves time, effort and money
• Digitizes tapes into online libraries for an end-to-end DAM solution
• Records clips to tape for sharing with clients or colleagues.
Pipeline Quad
Pipeline Quad is a four-channel, rack-mounted system with Gigabit Ethernet and four independent
Pipeline channels. Pipeline Quad also has an SDI Reference input for synchronizing output streams and
for extracting a VITC time code.
