Telestream's HD Video Capture Offers Instant Access To Content For Editing

Telestream has just announced the newest model to emerge from its series of Pipeline network video capture devices.
Pipeline HD Dual is a two-channel, hardware encoder that captures high definition (HD) video from tape or live sources and encodes it in real time to leading HD editing formats: Avid DNxHD, Apple ProRes 422 and Panasonic DVCPRO HD. Pipeline HD Dual is the only shared network encoder on the market that encodes video and audio to multiple HD and SD formats – providing flexibility in multiformat environments for users' changing format needs.
Pipeline is an industry-first video capture device that sits on the network where anyone can access it.
Telestream's shared network approach to video capture provides freedom from the hassles and limitations of traditional video capture card solutions on dedicated workstations.
Pipeline is available in single-channel and four-channel standard definition models, as well as the new two-channel, high-definition model, which was introduced and demonstrated at the International Broadcasters Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam September 12-16.
Pipeline HD Dual provides one, easy-to-use video capture tool for a variety of applications. For multi-camera live events, Pipeline allows editors to instantly access files in real time and begin editing content while it is being captured. This provides a fast, efficient way to edit highlights or sequences and send finished pieces to their destinations.
For broadcasters, Pipeline HD Dual enables scheduled recording of live feeds. This allows a more cost effective alternative to using expensive video server channels to ingest multiple channels of high-quality, HD-SDI media into file-based workflows. When combined with Telestream's FlipFactory or Episode Engine transcoding products, users can easily create additional formats in near-real-time while content is being captured. Pipeline also preserves important metadata throughout the transcoding process.
In addition, Pipeline HD can be used to ingest media from tape or live sources directly into Final Cut Server, Apple's powerful new media asset management and workflow automation software.
Pipeline HD Dual also down-converts HD-SDI sources to SD formats and accepts SD-SDI sources and encodes them to SD formats.
This versatile, multiformat video capture device offers user-selectable encoding to DV, IMX, MPEG-2 and Apple ProRes 422 (SQ) standard definition formats as well as Avid DNxHD, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) and DVCPRO HD high definition editing formats. AVC-Intra high definition format is slated for availability in Q1-2009.
The two-channel video capture system provides unparalleled encoding density and significant per-channel cost savings in a compact one rack-unit box. Pipeline HD Dual includes confidence monitoring, to view what is being encoded, and redundant power supplies for critical workflows. A complete, free software development kit (SDK) is available for integration into any workflow.
Pipeline received the 2007 Vidy award, which honors product innovation and engineering excellence.
Videography reviewer Oliver Peters reported: "Pipeline is an elegant, portable I/O solution for editors and broadcasters alike."
A review in Lifelong Learning magazine added: "Pipeline brings high-quality real-time encoding within reach, even for media departments and small facilities with tight budgets."
Pipeline HD Dual ($9,995) will be sold through Telestream's direct sales and worldwide resale channels.
