Case Study: Epiphan Pearl Nano SRT encoding powers hybrid auctions for Heffel
By Jamie G
In Epiphan’s recent case study Heffel Fine Art Auction House, the world’s premier seller of Canadian art found the perfect solution to host their hybrid auctions with the Epiphan Pearl Nano. Heffel has three locations throughout Canada and the Pearl Nano was able to sucessfully help Heffel host their hybrid auction with real-time bidding between the multiple offices.
The Pearl Nano offers the ultimate blend of portability and versatility with a refined yet robust feature set that includes ingestion, encoding, HDMI pass-through, and recording and was up to the prestigious art dealer’s exacting standards for video quality. With the Covid-19 restrictions, Heffel had to be cautious with their semi-annual large auctions they hold. They needed a soluton that would bring in remotley all three locations with high video production value. The Pearl Nano video encoder was able to power SRT and was easy to preconfigure and ship to the offices.
“Nano’s compact and rugged design made it easy to ship. At the other end, all the teams had to do was connect the camera and the audio system to the encoder and power it on.

Here is the set up for all the Heffel offices.
Not only did the Pearl Nano bring a successful hybrid auction, it reaffirmed Heffel’s brand image, improved auction performace, was cost effective, and gave the IT team peace of mind with it’s relilability.
“Pearl Nano just works from the moment you turn it on to the moment you power it off. We had zero issues during the event.”
Goran Urosevic, Director of Information Services at Heffel
