Attention MediaDeck 1.2 users!

MediaDeck 1.2 that came with Media100 versions 3.0 thru 4.0 is a discontinued product. This version was a Media100 supplied and supported product. Media100 discontinued distribution and support when they released Media100 version 4.5 in Febuary 1998.  MediaDeck 1.2 owners will NOT be in our database as Media100 sold this product.

You can not upgrade MediaDeck 1.2 to MediaDeck Pro. You will need to purchase a full license of MediaDeck Pro. This version is a fully supported Pipeline Digital product. MediaDeck Pro includes the Pipeline Digital 10 foot / 3 Meter Mac to RS-422 VTR cable. This cable replaces the Media100 cable and is required because it contains a dongle for copy protection.

Software Only Notice

MediaDeck Pro requires the Pipeline Digital (Com Port or Mac Serial) to RS-422 device cable.  Unless you have another Pipeline Digital product that came this cable you can not order the software only versions.  Please go to the Contact page for links to sales and technical support.

Upgrade Notice

All Upgrades require registration or proof of registration with Pipeline Digital, not Media100.  Unless you have an earlier version of MediaDeck Pro (and the Pipeline Cable), you can not order the upgrade.  MediaDeck 1.2 that shipped with Media100 did not include the correct cable, and is not upgradeable.  Please go to the Contact page for links to sales and technical support.
