Tech Tuesday - Epiphan Pearl Mini

In this Tech Tuesday, we take a look at the Epiphan Pearl Mini, a video switcher, recorder, streamer, splitter, and scaler all in one! Contradictory to its name, The Pearl Mini offers a generous-sized touch screen for a superior user experience, and its versatility allows users to record, stream, and switch up to three full HD video inputs from HDMI, SDI, and USB. Simply put, the Pearl Mini is an all-in-one device that brings it all together.

 How it Works

The Pearl Mini is ready to use out of the box. Connect video sources directly to the HDMI inputs and start recording right away using the intuitive touch screen, or use the web-based admin panel to access all the configuration options available. From the admin panel, users can create a truly customized video experience. They can easily set up channels and recorders, select custom resolutions and streaming options, configure security features, and much more! Configuration is straightforward and only requires a USB mouse, keyboard, and HDMI monitor, either traditional or touchscreen.

Ideal Use Case

The Epiphan Pearl Mini is an excellent option for any environment with multiple audio and video signals that would benefit from the convenience of an all-in-one device. For example, in an education setting, users can easily capture, record, and stream lectures, conduct one-on-one remote tutorials and create a video library on-demand in their LMS/CMS. In a corporate environment, the Pearl Mini is great for live streaming meetings, presentations and training. When used to support live events production, it is an excellent streaming and recording encoding solution. Users can create live switched programs, stream to multiple destinations simultaneously, and record for post-production.
