workstations for each user. Factories can be designed to ingest media from Pipeline using edit decision
lists (EDLs) to transcode media in real time.
Real-time encoding accelerates FlipFactory workflows
Media transfer can be controlled with a VTR, and streaming to FlipFactory begins immediately while
encoding in Pipeline. Simultaneous transcoding in FlipFactory greatly improves overall workflow
throughput. High-resolution files can be directed to storage, while a proxy or other version is being created
by FlipFactory. An RS-422 VTR deck control provides frame accurate ingest from professional tape
machines.
Supports a broad range of SD and HD formats
Pipeline features broad format support in a single device. Pipeline is network-configurable to encode/
decode standard definition 8 and 10bit Uncompressed, DV and DVCPro 25, IMX 30|40|50, ProRes 422
SQ, and high definition DVCProHD, DNxHD and ProRes 422. With Pipeline, there’s no need to have
multiple dedicated devices to handle your changing format needs. Plus, you can upgrade Pipeline right on
the network to easily add new formats and features as they become available from Telestream.
EXTEND FLIPFACTORY WORKFLOWS WITH PIPELINE
This innovative, network-ready video capture accessory extends FlipFactory workflows, allowing real-time
ingest of high-quality baseband media directly into a FlipFactory server.
You can use Pipeline Direct, a powerful embedded Web app in every Pipeline, to control (with a VTR) and
preview streaming video, create and save EDL files, and crash record SD media into a TIFO (Telestream
Intermediary Format (TIFO) on page 58) file for further processing.
Batch ingest from an EDL file allows users to encode multiple clips from a single tape. Plus, FlipFactory
can automatically pick up EDLs from monitored folders for easy EDL integration. Together, Pipeline and
FlipFactory automatically control the VTR and encode the clips needed.
You can schedule live ingest with Pipeline to capture incoming feeds at any time. By setting the start time
and duration, live feeds, such as satellite, can be encoded and delivered when needed. You can also
encode analog tapes into online digital libraries and asset management systems.
Pipeline can also be used to archive high-quality master files into DAM systems. Using the powerful
metadata extraction tools in FlipFactory, master assets, proxy files and all associated metadata can be
delivered to DAM systems in one single-step process.
