Using Pipeline Direct

Options
Default to PAL if SDI not
present on startup
Pipeline detects the video standard of the incoming SDI signal on startup.
If no signal is present during startup, by default, the Pipeline generates
color bars or black in NTSC format.
When this option is checked, Pipeline generates color bars or black in
PAL format. When an SDI signal becomes present the Pipeline switches
its internal signal generation to the standard of the incoming video.
Default to black if SDI not
present
Pipeline generates a test pattern when no SDI input signal is present. If
this option is checked the generated test pattern is a black frame,
otherwise the generated test pattern is color bars. The pattern is
generated in NTSC or PAL, based on the mode it is in. The last valid SDI
signal sets the mode.
Default to live panel on
startup
When checked, Pipeline Direct always displays the Live panel when it
connects. If unchecked, the Configure panel displays.
Disconnect live panel after
10 minutes
When checked, streaming media is stopped after 10 minutes of inactivity.
If unchecked, the live panel remains connected as long as the Live panel
detects end user interaction. While the Live panel is connected, other
processes can not connect to the Pipeline. For example, a FlipFactory
EDL monitor can not connect to process the EDL it has received.
Ignore input discontinuities Unchecked by default, to insure capture quality. Check when you don’t
want Pipeline to report missing or partial frames in input stream during
capture. This is useful if, for example, you’re capturing from a satellite
feed where these types of errors occur more frequently, and you do not
want Pipeline to report the error to the Pipeline Final Cut Pro plugin,
because it will abort the capture.
Disable loopback Prevents input SDI from being present on the output SDI during capture.
Assume F2 dominant input When checked, during encoding, Pipeline constructs a frame by using a
field pair consisting of an F2 field followed temporally by an F1 field. This
is in contrast to normal operation, which constructs a frame using a field
pair consisting of an F1 field followed temporally by an F2 field.
Burn in Timecode When checked, Pipeline overlays the timecode it is using as its primary
clock on the video image.
Remove VBI data before
compression
When checked, Pipeline strips each frame of VBI data, before passing it
to the encoder for compression.
