UB’s AV team needed a classroom capture solution that reduced operational overhead without disrupting faculty workflows. Pearl Nexus eliminated OS maintenance, simplified rack designs, and dramatically reduced setup time, while Epiphan Edge gave the team remote visibility and control across hundreds of rooms. Freed from constant PC upkeep, staff could focus on innovation instead of troubleshooting. With plans to add AI-ready tools like the EC20 PTZ camera, UB positioned its classrooms for smarter insights and long-term growth. Check out how they incorporated Epiphan into their workflow:

One of the key highlights is Opencast’s scheduled live webcast support. With this update, Pearl capture agents can automatically start streaming to one or more predefined destinations, making it easier for educators, enterprises, and broadcasters to manage live events on schedule without manual intervention.

Another major improvement is NDI|HX interoperability. Epiphan resolved compatibility issues between Pearl devices and certain NDI|HX cameras, including the Sony SRG-A40. Users should note that NDI|HX1 support has been deprecated in this release.

Alongside these enhancements, firmware 4.24.2 also refreshes Pearl’s digital certificates to maintain secure communications with external services.

With improved automation, expanded device compatibility, and tighter security, this firmware ensures Pearl systems continue to deliver professional, reliable live video production.

Epiphan Case Study: University of Rhode Island Standardizes User-Friendly Automated Video Spaces

At the University of Rhode Island (URI), the AV team, led by Katie Babula, has embraced automation and simplicity to support growing demands for lecture capture, video recording, and streaming. The centerpiece of this transformation is the Epiphan Pearl Nexus, which now powers more than 45 classrooms and auditoriums across campus.

With faculty juggling busy teaching schedules, ease of use was a top priority. URI selected the Pearl Nexus for its reliability, flexibility, and seamless integration capabilities. Paired with Panopto for content management and Q-SYS for audio and control, the system enables instructors to walk into a classroom, teach, and have their sessions automatically recorded and uploaded—no technical setup required.

Pearl handles video, audio, and content capture, automatically transferring recordings to Panopto, where they are integrated into the school’s LMS. Faculty schedule recordings at the start of the semester, and everything else happens in the background.

This automated, scalable workflow has transformed the way URI delivers education—both on campus and to the broader community. Faculty have praised the system’s ease and effectiveness, with many requesting it in additional classrooms. As Babula puts it, “What I really love is how approachable it’s made lecture capture recording to our faculty. They do it once and say, ‘This is great—I want to do it for all my lectures.’”

Thanks to Epiphan Pearl, URI’s small AV team can deliver a powerful, hands-off video solution that enhances teaching without adding complexity.
