The Epiphan Pearl Rackmount Twin is a professional all-in-one live production video mixer that integrates switching, encoding, streaming, and recording capabilities into a single 2U rackmount chassis. Unlike standard production systems, this unit contains two completely independent Pearl systems within one housing, effectively providing double the video inputs, processing power, and outputs in a space-efficient form factor. Each independent Pearl system features its own set of video inputs, power supplies, networking interfaces, and front-panel touchscreen display for confidence monitoring and control. This dual-system design offers unprecedented flexibility for professional AV and broadcast applications. Users can capture from more sources and create multiple unique streams or recordings from the same live event, or use the second system as a critical backup for peace of mind during live streaming. Each system supports multiple video inputs including SDI, HDMI, VGA, and USB, with resolutions ranging from SD to 4K Ultra HD. Comprehensive streaming protocols including RTSP, RTMP, HLS, and SRT enable distribution to multiple platforms simultaneously, while internal 512GB SSD storage per system provides ample recording capacity. This unit is being sold as-is and requires repair. The system powers on but exhibits intermittent video input detection failures, with some HDMI and SDI ports not recognizing connected sources consistently. One of the two internal power supplies has been replaced with a third-party unit, and the front-panel touchscreen on Pearl B has visible scratches and is partially unresponsive to touch input. Due to these documented issues, this Epiphan Pearl Rackmount Twin is offered for repair or parts, ideal for technicians familiar with Epiphan systems or as a donor unit for components. Read more
