The Epiphan Pearl is a professional all-in-one live production video mixer that seamlessly integrates switching, encoding, streaming, and recording capabilities into a single powerful device. Designed for live events, broadcast, corporate AV, and educational applications, this versatile system eliminates the need for multiple separate components by combining a multi-source video switcher, high-quality encoder, streaming server, and recorder in one rugged chassis. It empowers production teams to capture, produce, and distribute professional video content with unprecedented efficiency and reliability. The Pearl features multiple physical video inputs including HDMI, 4K HDMI, 12G-SDI, and USB, supporting up to six simultaneous sources with resolutions ranging from SD to 4K Ultra HD. Beyond physical connections, it accepts network-based sources such as NDI, NDI HX, SRT, and RTSP streams, offering tremendous flexibility for modern IP-based production workflows. The integrated live video production workflow allows operators to manage streaming, recording, and live switching from a single intuitive interface accessible via the built-in 4.3-inch touchscreen or any web browser on the local network. Simultaneous multi-channel streaming enables distribution to multiple platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and custom RTMP destinations while recording locally to the internal 512GB solid-state drive in formats such as AVI, MOV, MP4, and MPEG-TS. Professional production features include chroma keying for virtual sets and green screen applications, a visual layout editor for creating custom multi-view compositions with backgrounds and overlays, and comprehensive audio support via embedded HDMI and SDI connections plus balanced XLR and RCA inputs. Deep integration with content management platforms like Panopto and Kaltura simplifies automated workflows, while support for secure streaming protocols including SRT with 256-bit AES encryption, RTMPS, and HTTPS ensures content protection. With its powerful sixth-generation Intel i7 processor, extensive API control options including HTTP and RS-232, and Crestron driver support for automation systems, the Epiphan Pearl delivers enterprise-grade live production capabilities in a compact, all-in-one solution.
