The Pipeline Quad’s rack-mount form is ideal for high-volume, scalable workflows where throughput and
performance are important factors.
Pipeline Quad performs all encoding and decoding available in Pipeline SC, and adds these features:
• Four concurrent, independent Pipeline channels on a single, rack-mount device
• SDI Sync reference channel (sync in only) for frame-synchronized playout across all channels
• Optional, configurable confidence monitoring of client-bound video on a dedicated channel
• Gigabit Ethernet and dual, common power supplies for increased fail-safe operation.
Pipeline HD Dual
Pipeline HD Dual is a two-channel, rack-mounted system with dual Gigabit Ethernet enabling two
independent Pipeline HD channels. Pipeline HD Dual also has an SDI Reference input for synchronizing
output streams and for extracting VITC time code.

The Pipeline HD Dual’s rack-mount form is ideal for high-volume, scalable workflows where throughput
and performance are important factors.
Pipeline HD Dual performs all encoding and decoding available in Pipeline SC, and adds these features:
• HD codec support for Uncompressed SD 8- and 10-bit, Apple ProRes 422 HD, Avid DNxHD, and
DVCProHD
• Two concurrent, independent Pipeline HD channels on a single, rack-mount device
• Sync reference channel (sync in only) for frame synchronized playout across all channels
• Optional, configurable confidence monitoring of client-bound video on a dedicated channel
• Gigabit Ethernet for each channel and dual, common power supplies for increased fail-safe operation.
PIPELINE BENEFITS
A better way to ingest baseband media
Pipeline is a dedicated, external media decoding and encoding device with flexible Ethernet connectivity
that offers significant advantages and cost savings over typical capture card solutions. It is more reliable,
eliminating the susceptibility of a server/card model. Pipeline also removes operating system and driver
incompatibilities, and reduces the need to use an expensive broadcast server channel.
Accessible from any workstation on your network
Shared network access makes Pipeline a cost-effective video capture solution. FlipFactory users can
access Pipeline via Pipeline Direct, an embedded Web app, eliminating the need for dedicated
