Epiphan Pearl Nano Streamer & Recorder

In a portable design with 12G-SDI and HDMI 1080p60 inputs, the Epiphan Pearl Nano can be used for simple encoding productions or much more complex setups thanks to its expansive feature set and versatility, and 4K streaming and recording options are available with an add-on license.

Pearl Nano features an HDMI program out, zero-latency HDMI pass-through to local monitors, and audio support via dual XLR, RCA, and USB inputs. Streamline your setup even further with the ability to power Nano over PoE+ instead of the included power supply. An SD card slot on the front and an expansion bay supporting M.2 SATA SSDs, allow you to record locally and then automatically transfer the files to a USB drive, local server, or network-attached storage device.

The advanced and easy-to-use streaming and recording functions enable you to integrate the Nano into elaborate productions. SRT encoding and decoding capabilities along with end-to-end control allow the Nano to be used as a contribution encoder for remote guests. Broad streaming protocol support lets you stream to any CDN or streaming server using protocols including SRT, HLS, RTMP, and RTMPS.

You can also design the layout of your choice for your video program with Pearl Nano's custom layout designer. Create anything from simple picture-in-picture layouts to compositions with dynamic backgrounds and other custom graphics.

Control Pearl Nano Your Way

Use the Pearl Nano's front display screen for basic configuration and control, or jump into the browser-based interface or incorporate an optional local console to access all the features of the compact and versatile streamer and recorder. Alternatively, you can centralize configuration and monitoring via Epiphan's cloud-based platform (charges apply).

Front Display

Pearl Nano's front screen offers quick access to essential functions including basic configuration and easy streaming and recording. During events, the built-in screen serves as at-a-glance verification of your audio level and video program for production peace of mind.

Cloud-Based Configuration and Monitoring

Streamline the configuration and monitoring of multiple Pearl Nanos and other Epiphan devices with centralized access to key device statistics including operational status, system load, unit temperature, available storage, and overall health.

Ideal for SRT Contributions

The compact and lightweight Pearl Nano supports Haivision's open-source Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol for secure, high-quality, low-latency video streaming over any given network.

Pair with Panopto, Kaltura, and YuJa

Deep integration with Panopto, Kaltura, and YuJa content management platforms lets you start and stop scheduled streaming or recording events using Pearl Nano's built-in screen and controls. The system can also push recordings to a user's folder on either platform to save administration time after events.

No-Fuss Networking and Security

Easily add Pearl Nano to any network and prevent unauthorized access with a bevy of security features including DHCP and LDAP support, role-based access control, 802.1x network access control, and SSL.
