Playout of HD and SD content simplifies
creation of spot reels, review and approvals; EDL import saves
time and effort for Mac and PC users in video production environments
Telestream announced a new release for its Pipeline video
capture systems. Already recognized for its innovative network-based
approach to capturing high-definition (HD) and standard-definition
(SD) video from tape or live-sources, Pipeline V2.4 adds the
ability to frame accurately print HD or SD video back to tape.
Additional new features include EDL import and time-code-break-triggered
capture mode. These new V2.4 features save time and effort
for content creators in Mac OS X and PC video production environments.
“This release continues to extend the power of Pipeline
beyond simple video capture,” said Barbara DeHart, VP
of Marketing at Telestream. “Telestream understands the
vital importance of quickly and efficiently moving video between
tape and file-based workflows. Already useful for video ingest
in live, post-production and archiving workflows, Pipeline
2.4 adds the important final link of playing content back
out to tape.”
Telestream changed the game in video capture with Pipeline.
These hardware encoders sit on the network where anyone can
access them, providing freedom from the hassles and limitations
of video capture card solutions on dedicated workstations.
Real-time, user-selectable encoding to multiple SD and HD
formats – DV, IMX, MPEG-2 I-frame, ProRes 422 SD, plus
DNxHD, ProRes 422 HQ and DVCPRO HD – provides flexibility
in multiformat editing environments.
The addition of print-to-tape playout of HD or SD content
in Pipeline 2.4 is especially useful for the creation of spot
reels and review-and-approval tapes. Import of the common
GVG4 EDL format in Pipeline 2.4 saves time and effort by allowing
Mac and PC users to import an edit decision list from Final
Cut Pro, Avid, and other editing systems into Pipeline.
Already available for PC users, Version 2.4 adds time-code-break-triggered
capture mode for Mac OS X users. This feature is particularly
useful in the production of reality shows where vast quantities
of content are captured onto videotape from multiple cameras.
By using Pipeline in conjunction with Telestream’s FlipFactory
transcoding software, low-resolution proxy files are created
for edit decisions.
Pipeline then creates only the required high-resolution clips
needed for final production. This workflow saves users time
and money by eliminating the need to import and store large
quantities of unneeded high-resolution footage.
Pipeline 2.4 is now available as a free software update. Pipeline
systems are available for purchase from Telestream’s
direct sales and worldwide resale channels. More information
