By Jamie G
Epiphan firmware version 4.24 is now available for the Pearl-2, Pearl Mini and Pearl Nexus. The new firmware will feature dual Ethernet port capability allows network traffic to be split between two Ethernet connections using a user-supplied USB to Ethernet adapter.
Enhanced network performance
By separating video streaming from control traffic, users can optimize bandwidth usage and reduce the risk of network congestion, leading to smoother video streams and more responsive control operations.
Increased security
Segregating traffic can enhance security by isolating sensitive control data from the public-facing video stream, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or cyber threats.
