Talon AV’s sky-high success: remote production with Epiphan Pearl
By Jennifer P
Small Company, Big Impact
Talon AV is a video production company that specializes in video streaming, recording, and production services for live events such as corporate webinars and multi-day conferences with multiple breakout rooms. Their efficiency allows them to manage multiple concurrent events, which is a key strength for the small team.
Remote Workflow for the Win
To address the challenge of managing events simultaneously at different locations, CEO Tim Kerbavaz implemented Epiphan’s Pearl systems. These systems offer flexibility, reliability, and crucially, remote control capabilities. By deploying Pearls on-site and connecting them to the network, Talon AV’s team could oversee multiple events from any location, including managing live streams from an airplane. This was made possible through Epiphan Edge™, which enables remote production and monitoring of the Pearl systems fleet.
Scaling Operations
The ability to manage multiple devices from a central location allowed Talon AV to expand its services beyond a single site, providing remote event support and enabling the team to handle multiple events simultaneously. This significantly scaled up their operations without needing to increase their physical presence.
Key Benefits
- Remote Management: Epiphan Edge allowed the team to remotely monitor and control Pearl devices, make real-time adjustments, and manage file workflows from various locations.
- Versatile Streaming and Recording: Pearl’s adaptability ensured high-quality video delivery under different network conditions and requirements, whether direct streaming or point-to-point SRT links.
- Large-Scale Event Management: For events with multiple breakout rooms, Pearl hardware facilitated efficient management and recording, meeting strict security requirements and maintaining a compact operational footprint.
Conclusion
Epiphan’s Pearl and Edge have become essential tools for Talon AV, enhancing their ability to handle live event production challenges. The reliability and flexibility of Epiphan products have streamlined operations, allowing Talon AV to manage more clients and events with fewer resources. This efficiency has bolstered the company’s reputation for excellence and positioned it as a leader in the industry.
