SDI Out. Lights green when the Pipeline is configured to encode digital media from the Ethernet port, and
send encoded media to the SDI Out port. If the LED lights orange, data is being lost. The reason should be
corrected before continuing operation.
Rear Panel Ports and Connectors
The rear panel contains the power jack, plus video and network connector ports.

When connecting video equipment, Ethernet, and RS-422 cables, be sure that the power supply is
disconnected from the Pipeline. Failure to do so may result in equipment malfunction or damage.
DC Power Port. Use to connect and turn on the Pipeline. Only connect the Pipeline to power using the
Telestream-supplied power supply.
10/100 Ethernet Port. The Ethernet port has two LEDs:
Link (left LED): If the LED is not lit, no link is available. If the LED is lit orange, link has been established.
Connection/Activity (right LED): If the port is connected at 100 Mb, the LED lights green, and blinks on
activity. If the port is connected at 10 Mb, the LED is unlit, but blinks green during activity.
RS-422. Female DB-9 RS-422 port for VTR, using Sony 9 Pin protocol.
SDI In. BNC jack for SDI input signal.
SDI Out. BNC jack for SDI output.
PIPELINE QUAD HARDWARE
The Pipeline Quad is 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, 13.2 inches (33.5 cm) deep, and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm)
high. Pipeline Quad is a single rack unit, with four onboard SDI encoder/decoder devices equipped with an
external Gigabit Ethernet port and an onboard switch routing 100Mb Ethernet to each device, using TCP/
IP, UDP, RTSP, and RTP and Bonjour for service discovery. Serial Digital Interfaces are provided for each
device (BNC, SMPTE-259M 270mb/sec) with four 8-channel embedded audio input and output ports with
automatic detection of 525/625, and RS-422 deck control ports, using Sony 9 Pin Protocol.
Caution
If the Connection LED is unlit, the Pipeline is operating at 10 Mb, which is
unacceptable for real time video traffic. Resolve the problem before continuing,
to avoid video stream data loss.
