Digital media tools and workflow solutions provider Telestream has released an upgraded version of its Pipeline video capture system, the company announced.
    Pipeline 2.5 was designed to function as a network-based video capture and playout device for moving HD and SD video in and out of file-based workflows. Pipeline 2.5 adds immediate access capabilities to media, as well as a new controlled playout interfaces and support for DVCPRO 50 and ProRes LT/Proxy baseband video formats.
    “This release continues to extend the power of Pipeline systems beyond simple video capture and playout by offering a more flexible and efficient alternative to conventional video capture solutions. For example, the new Pipeline Controlled Playout interface allows broadcasters, production houses and post-production shops to play back captured files to a monitor for review and approval or quality assurance with full VTR control, just like a tape deck,” Telestream Spokeswoman Barbara DeHart said in a statement.
