Epiphan Announces Pearl Nexus for Automated Video Capture

Epiphan Video has announced Pearl Nexus, the first purpose-built rackmount capture appliance designed for pro AV and higher education. Pearl Nexus seamlessly works with your existing AV infrastructure to deliver a superior, automated video capture experience at scale.

Built upon the award-winning Pearl Family, Pearl Nexus records and streams up to three channels of 1080p video with a suite of creative controls and cloud management tools. A complete array of video inputs (SDI, HDMI, USB, SRT, and NDI), in addition to professional audio inputs (XLR, USB, and 3.5mm), make Pearl Nexus flexible and versatile. The included 1TB SSD, CMS integrations, and automated file management ensure all content gets safely recorded and delivered exactly where it needs to go.

“As we transition our devices to Epiphan, we shared with them the need to maximise space within our lecterns,” says Frank Alaimo, Manager of Classroom Technology Services at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). “Epiphan not only listened to us, they worked with our team to develop the perfect solution. The Pearl Nexus is a game changer for UNLV.”

“Epiphan has seen an unprecedented growth in the pro AV industry with our Pearl family of products,” says Julian Fernandez, Director of Product Marketing for Epiphan Video. “We worked closely with our integrators and industry experts to develop a best-in-class video capture appliance. The Pearl Nexus delivers an automated experience, ease of integration, and the ability to manage video at scale with limited resources, all in 1 RU that can fit into any installation.”

The Epiphan Pearl family has deep integrations with AV control systems (Crestron, Q-SYS, Extron) and CMS platforms (Panopto Certified, Kaltura, Yuja) to deliver a reliable capture experience for any campus or courtroom. Epiphan’s powerful cloud management tools for remote access, management, and maintenance, allows a single staff member to manage hundreds of endpoints through one simple interface.

“Epiphan is known as an industry leader in video technology, offering solutions that are key to higher education operations,” says BC Hatchett, HETMA Co-Founder. “By building on their already impressive, and HETMA approved line-up, Epiphan continues to be a partner in empowering technology managers to enable their learning spaces to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of instructors.”

The Epiphan Pearl Nexus is available for pre-order, with shipping expected in late Autumn.
