Epiphan Lecture Capture Essentials Bundle (Pearl Nexus + EC20)

Product Overview

The Epiphan Lecture Capture Essentials Bundle is a streamlined, single-camera lecture capture solution for higher education, pairing the Pearl Nexus encoder with one EC20 PTZ camera. It makes it easy to record, stream, and auto-publish classes reliably, helping campuses standardize and scale capture without exceeding budget. The camera and encoder are built to work together to reduce integration work.

Product Description

Built around the 1RU Pearl Nexus, the bundle includes one Pearl Nexus and one EC20 PTZ camera with ceiling and wall mounts for permanent classroom installation. Native integration with Panopto, Opencast, and Kaltura means scheduling, recording, and auto-publishing work out of the box. The EC20 connects over a single PoE+ Ethernet cable for power, network, video, and audio, and IT can monitor device status remotely across rooms.

The bundle is priced at a 25% saving versus buying the components separately, lowering total cost of ownership when rolling out the same trusted hardware across many classrooms. For richer multi-angle capture, the Lecture Capture Plus configuration adds a second EC20 camera.
