SUPPORTED WEB BROWSERS
You can use Pipeline Direct in the following browsers:
• Internet Explorer 6 or later on Windows (QuickTime is not required). Video preview utilizes an Active-X
control which supports audio preview. May require security settings adjustments to install correctly.
• Safari Version 2 or 3 on Mac OS X with QuickTime 7.0.4 or later – no support for audio preview
• Firefox Version 2 or later on Windows and Mac OS X – with QuickTime 7.0.4 or later for Mac OS X, or
QuickTime 7.2 or later for Windows – no support for audio preview.
You can run Pipeline Direct from anywhere on your network. You can run it directly on a FlipFactory server,
and save EDL and TIFO files locally in the target directory for the EDL monitor. You can also run Pipeline
Direct on other computers, and save files locally, then copy them to the target directory via Windows
networking, or save them via Windows networking directly into the target directory.
Browser Settings for Pipeline Direct
To ensure that you can connect and use the Pipeline Direct application in Pipeline, make sure that Internet
Explorer security settings are set as follows (enable similar functionality in Safari and Firefox so that you
run signed Active-X controls and download files (for EDL and TIFO files)):
• Add Pipelines to your Trusted Intranet sites.
Click Tools > Internet Options. On the Security tab, click Trusted Sites. Then, click the Sites button and
add http://<IP address> (http://169.254.1.200, for example) for each Pipeline. Make sure that you have
unchecked the Require Server Verification option, because that requires an HTTPS connection and
Pipeline communicates via HTTP. Click OK to close the dialog and continue.
• Click Default Level and drag the selector to Low. Click OK to update and close the Setting dialog.
This setting enables Active-X Controls and plug-ins, automatic prompting for file downloads, and script-
ing of Java applets, which may also be set individually.
LAUNCHING PIPELINE DIRECT
To connect to a Pipeline and launch Pipeline Direct, follow these steps (if you’ve assigned a password to
the Pipeline, you’ll need to authenticate before you can connect – no password is required by default):
1. Launch your Web browser. (Bonjour is not supported in Firefox – connect using the IP address instead
– skip to step 3.)
2. To connect using Bonjour, connect via:
Internet Explorer (Windows). Open Internet Explorer and select View > Explorer Bar > Bonjour (or click
the Bonjour icon in the toolbar) to display the Bonjour panel on the left, and double-click the Pipeline in the
panel to log on and display Pipeline Direct.
Note
Web browsers are supported only on the platform specified. You may encounter
situations where features may function correctly in all cases.
