Epiphan Pearl Nexus 256GB-SD - ESP1948

Product Overview

Pearl Nexus delivers a superior, automated video capture experience for any classroom, courtroom, or presentation space. This 256GB SD configuration records, enhances, and streams video with reliability and creative controls, backed by a 1TB SSD drive, robust CMS integrations, and automated file management so content is always recorded and delivered where it needs to go.

Product Description

Pearl Nexus fits into a 1RU rack chassis, built to be the recording and streaming appliance at the center of a classroom, courtroom, or presentation room's AV workflow. It supports a broad range of inputs (SDI, HDMI, USB, SRT, and NDI|HX) alongside professional audio inputs (XLR, TRS, USB, and 3.5mm), and integrates natively into Crestron, Q-SYS, or Extron control systems — turning streaming and recording into as routine a part of the room as turning on the lights.

On the content-management side, Pearl Nexus integrates easily with Kaltura and YuJa, delivering scheduled or ad-hoc content directly to the platform of choice, and can turn any Zoom Room or Microsoft Teams Room into a full studio with virtual-guest support. Scheduling automation covers recordings and livestreams end to end, while 3 full HD ISO recordings of the inputs ensure every angle is captured. Using Epiphan Edge, Pearl Nexus can be controlled and monitored from anywhere, with real-time HD video streams of inputs and channels.
