Prime Image's Pipeline III provides an audio/video delay solution for HD or SD signals for the purpose of ensuring that live programming meets FCC regulations regarding profanity content suppression. The Pipeline III has been successfully used world-wide by major broadcast and cable networks, local stations, and stadiums.

The Pipeline III provides variable delay of high definition and standard definition signals at the main SDI input. The delay is adjustable in video frame increments of up to 6.25 seconds at 1080i resolution, and 30.5 seconds in standard definition.

All vertical ancillary data (VANC), including Closed Captions (CEA-608/708), are delayed equal to the video signal.

All 16 embedded audio channels are de-embedded and processed independent of the video.  Four AES audio inputs are also processed separately for a total of 20 channels. The audio delay automatically follows the video delay and may be offset by up to +/-500ms to allow for lip-sync correction.
