Setup Information

Pipeline system architecture
Pipeline is a unique network attached encoder system that can be used in a
variety of capture and playout workflows. Being network attached there are
several architectural constraints that need to be understood in order to
configure an efficient and reliable Pipeline system.
Pipeline system capture workflows consists of taking baseband HD/SD-SDI
inputs, compressing it, creating a file with the compressed data and delivering
the completed file to a folder location. The Pipeline system will consists of one
or more Pipeline network attached encoder devices connected via CAT6
Ethernet to a Pipeline host computer.
Pipeline network attached encoder devices should be connected directly via
CAT6 Ethernet to a Pipeline host computer or via a fully non-blocking
managed Layer 2/3 Enterprise Edge Ethernet switch with adequate per-port
data buffering.
Pipeline System
Because of Pipeline's unique network attached architecture it is important to
understand each component of a Pipeline system in order to create a system
that will meet the needs of your workflow.
A Pipeline System consists of one or more Pipeline channels and a Pipeline
host computer (Mac or Windows PC) connected together via Ethernet wiring.
