Summary:

Pipeline Network Video Capture Appliances

For the last two months, I’ve spent some “quality time” with the Telestream Pipeline network Video Capture appliance.
Pipeline is an industry-first network-based video capture and playout device for moving SD & HD SDI video & audio in and out of Mac & PC file-based workflows. Telestream Pipeline offer a choice of encoding formats in a single box to handle your changing format needs. SD models encode to DV25, DVCPRO25, IMX, ProRes 422 and MPEG-2 I-frame. The HD model encodes to these plus DNxHD, DVCPRO HD and ProRes 422 HQ formats.

Testing various video sources from AJA Video Systems and Panasonic, whether tapeless or tape based, was effortless and transparent to operate Pipeline. Time is money and Pipeline delivers up to four channels of encoding density in just 1 Rack Unit!

Be patient while downloading as the file is fairly large in size…

BIO:
After attending NYU film school, Adam left the field for several years to explore other interests including drawing, sculpting, woodworking, bicycles, construction, and fitness training. He recently created a bronze statue for the city of Frederick. His return to filmmaking began with shooting and editing documentaries. He has directed the feature documentary “Eb”, and worked on projects for numerous anti-poverty nonprofits. He’s currently writing a comedy feature set to shoot next year. His new company, Archai Media, has several productions in the works both here and in South America. Archai Media also rents its Red Camera gear, and is developing a line of ergonomic camera support accessories.

WHAT DRIVES ME AS A FILMMAKER:
My approach to filmmaking is to focus on a subject that moves me, and to find my way intuitively from there. Everything seems to happen naturally once I catch that spark. The first film I really connected to was Bicycle Thieves. So many moments in the film felt like complex life moments, not movie moments. This changed my conception of what cinema is capable of. I see film as a means of connecting us with our core and helping us live with ourselves and with each other.

Just received an evaluation unit …

Stay tuned for my thoughts on this cross-platform [PC/Mac], Firewire 400/800; USB 2.0, eSATA enabled , 7200 rpm drive for either use as an external MacPro Drive or MacBook Pro drive!

Perfect for Audio/Video editing and playback and backup purposes! Ready to serve your needs in an Adobe, Apple, Avid, AJA and BlackMagic Design workflow!
