Rentex No. PEARLNANO

The Epiphan Pearl Nano is a compact and versatile single channel streamer, encoder, decoder and recorder capable of filling multiple roles.

Lay out multiple sources together in the Program feed, including physical SDI/HDMI inputs and network stream sources by RTSP or SRT, together with text and images. Use any of the embedded, XLR, and RCA audio with individual level and delay controls. Display either a Multiviewer or the Program feed locally through the HDMI Output, while recording and streaming the Program in h.264 or h.265.

Outbound stream protocols include RTMP, SRT, RTSP, MPEG-TS, RTP/UDP, HLS, and DASH which covers all major social media, video conferencing, and content services. Direct CMS integration is also available for Kaltura and Panopto.

Low latency, High quality SRT streaming enables secure and reliable point-to-point links over local and public networks (the internet), and the SRT Rendezvous system as found in the Pearl series even simplifies connecting through unknown firewall systems found on site. This enables the Pearl Nano to quickly send to or receive from another Pearl unit for multi-site events. SRT is also integrated into other products such as the Panasonic AW-UE100 and UE150 4K PTZ cameras and AG-CX350 4K Camcorder, enabling the Pearl Nano to receive SRT over network directly from those cameras.

Installed in our Pearl Nano units is a 500gb SSD drive to ensure recording is always available. This disables the front SD Card port but eliminates the need to use the EXT4 file system that is not natively recognized in Windows or macOS. After recording, files can be set for automatic upload to USB or individually transferred, or the Nano can be set to send recordings directly to network storage.
