Case Study: Epiphan Pearl-2
By Jamie G
The Epiphan Pearl-2 made a huge impact on Hawaii State Senate’s facility. In a recent Case Study by Epiphan they highlight how the Epiphan Pearl-2 and NDI made it’s way into the Hawaii State Senate and how it was a success for their IT team.
Hawaii State Senate installed six Pearl-2’s and used AV-over-IP technology to send video and audio from the hearing rooms to Pearl-2 over NDI. The Pearl-2 is an all-in-one video production system for live video switching, streaming and recording in HD with option to add 4K.
IT Director Chris Lam and Systems Analyst Robbie Omura were looking for a solution for the facility that was easy to use and NDI compatible. That’s when the Pearl-2 came to mind.
Omura set up six Pearl-2 encoders to capture NDI inputs from individual session spaces. All six rooms feature three video sources, including two PTZ cameras and one computer with video conferencing for remote participation. A Pearl-2 system captures all three video sources via NDI, and in-room audio is brought in through one of the PTZ cameras.

The Pearl-2 was a huge success. It’s simplified user interface and controls make it great for Lam and Omura. It’s NDI input and output, mixing, switching, streaming, and recording really make it the all-in-one video production
“Pearl-2 is straightforward enough that any of our users can operate it with confidence, even if they have very little technical or video experience.”
Chris Lam, Director of IT, Hawaii State Senate
