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.
AC Power Plugs. Use to connect and turn on the Pipeline. Only connect the Pipeline Quad to power using
the Telestream-supplied power cords. To insure fail-safe operation, be sure to use both power supplies.
These supply common power to the Pipeline; if one power supply fails, the Pipeline continues to operate.
Sync In. The SDI Sync Input is used in both capture and playout modes but for two different purposes. In
capture mode it is used as a method for supplying a common timecode reference to all input channels. In
playout mode it is used as a frame synchronization source for each of the SDI output channels. (See
“Using SDI Sync Input” on page 10.)
