Simplify your live video production

The most reliable all-in-one video production system that’s small in size and big on pro features

Epiphan Pearl Mini™ is a video switcher, recorder, streamer, splitter, and scaler all in one. Record, stream, and switch up to three full HD video inputs from HDMI™, SDI, and USB sources with this reliable hardware encoder that features a giant touch screen for maximum ease of use.

Reach viewers everywhere

Simultaneously live stream to YouTube, Facebook, and other content delivery networks and content management systems using SRT, HLS, MPEG-DASH, custom RTMP/RTMPS, and RTSP. At the same time, use the built-in streaming server to stream locally to web browsers, smart TVs, and set-top boxes.

Deep integration with Kaltura, Panopto, and YuJa video platforms means no complicated stream URLs to set up. Just schedule your webcast events or start streaming right from Pearl Mini’s built-in touch screen.

Share your webcasts

Locally share unicast or multicast streams to up to 50 viewers with popular streaming protocols like HTTP, HLS, FLV, ASF, UPnP, and SAP.

Stream securely

Use SRT end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption, HLS and MPEG-DASH over HTTPS, or RTMPS for secure content streaming.
