New collaboration brings EchoVideo compatibility to Epiphan’s Pearl lecture capture devices, giving institutions more flexibility, reliability, and long-term hardware choice.
Palo Alto, CA, March 18th, 2026 – Epiphan Video, the global market leader in room AV lecture capture systems, and Echo360, provider of the world’s leading transformative learning and AI-powered video learning platform, the Echosystem™, today announced a new partnership that makes Epiphan’s Pearl family of lecture capture devices compatible with EchoVideo.
This collaboration expands institutional choice and flexibility, enabling higher education institutions worldwide to deploy video learning solutions that are more accessible, interoperable, and cost-efficient than ever before.
By pairing EchoVideo’s SaaS video platform with Epiphan’s dedicated, multi-source capture appliances, institutions can standardize on a reliable hardware foundation while maintaining the familiar Echo workflow faculty depend on. The result is more capable classrooms, fewer operational barriers, and a long-term path for scalable video across campus.
“Echo360 shares our belief that accessibility and reliability are the cornerstones of great learning technology,” said Mike Sandler, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Epiphan Video. “Together, we’re enabling educators to leverage Epiphan’s trusted lecture capture technology and Echo360’s innovative learning platform to deliver engaging, high-quality learning experiences on any campus, anywhere in the world.”
“Our partnership with Epiphan demonstrates Echo360’s mission to deliver the most open, interoperable, and innovative video learning platform,” said Murad Velani, President and CEO of Echo360. “Providing EchoVideo compatibility with Epiphan’s market-leading video appliances enables institutions the option to continue leveraging their existing and future video appliance investments to dramatically improve their ROI, while continuing to experience the most advanced and innovative Echo360 & Epiphan learning video platform.”
Hardware choice. Greater flexibility. Proven reliability.
Built on Epiphan’s capture appliances and Echo360’s video platform, this partnership delivers four core benefits for higher education institutions:
-
Hardware choice without workflow change
Continue using EchoVideo as your system of record while adding Epiphan’s purpose-built capture hardware—no disruption to the faculty experience.

-
Built for campus-wide deployments
From standard classrooms to large lecture halls, Epiphan provides a consistent, scalable hardware platform that supports long-term standardization.
