No matter how much content your production is generating, Timeline have the experience to create a tailored tapeless acquisition workflow that will save you time and money.
The cost and inconvienience of HD tape-based acquisition for large-volume projects has led to production companies demanding a fresh approach.
Timeline has pioneered a new model of tapeless acquisition which uses EVS XT2 and IP DIrector to allow huge volumes of content to be stored.
With full redundancy and two copies of all media being automatically produced, the system gives you the security you get from using tape but with the flexibility, speed and savings of a full digital workflow.
This is understood to be the first ever fully tapeless fixed rig series.”

We have implemented this technology across music festivals, multi-camera studio productions, live sports events and reality TV programmes.
Timeline recently used this workflow to deliver what is understood to be the first ever fully tapeless fixed rig observational documentary series. During the course of filming over 1000 hours of footage was filmed and ingested on site and then sent back to our Soho post-production facility for instant editing.

- Live ingesting of multi-camera feeds to fully redundant storage
- Live logging of events with bespoke workflows
- Instant viewing of live and archived content
