Pearl and Pearl-2 form a lineup for formidable, full-featured all-in-one live video production systems. This page will help you select the one that works best for your based on your current and future video streaming and recording needs.
We’ll be looking at a number of new capture and streaming appliances here in the coming months, as there has been a lot of interesting activity in this product space. To start with, we wanted to highlight a significant update to the Epiphan Pearl. We’ve raved about the Pearl in past posts, and it appears there is a lot to be excited about in its successor. In the move from the Pearl to the Pearl 2, Epiphan cranked up the power of its core processor so that in could introduce a number of new features all built around support for full 4k. With the Pearl 2, you have six HD video inputs that you can composite or crop into any number of configurable layouts, and you can output the results into 6 separate HD streams. That’s a powerful toolkit for anyone looking to do mobile video capture and streaming.
The process to get the pieces working together is fairly simple, first you will need a PC with a USB 3 port. I used an aging Lenovo W510. Connect the included USB 3 cable to the USB 3 port on your PC.

Since the release of firmware 3.17.0 for Pearl and the initial firmware build for Pearl-2, we’ve received lots of positive feedback from customers that we’d like to share regarding our web-based control panel—Epiphan Live.
