How to add value to your AV presentations using Epiphan Pearl with FocalCast

Have you ever wanted to record and play back written lecture content or a “Whiteboard” session? Or maybe control and annotate a presentation on the fly? Or even collaborate with others to help create valuable, engaging presentation content? Well, we’ve got some good news!

All of the above can be easily accomplished using an Epiphan Video streaming/capture solution with remote display technology (such as Pearl!) combined with the FocalCast mobile application. Give and record presentations wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet by connecting AppleTV or Miracast to Epiphan Pearl and presenting from your mobile device with FocalCast.

Using FocalCast, presentations can be recorded, annotations saved and content streamed live directly from your phone. These FocalCast features enable schools and businesses to embrace the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement while increasing productivity, reducing IT costs and enhancing the value of your presentation content.

Capture and control interactive sessions

By using a touchscreen interface on a mobile device, FocalCast for Android and iOS turns any projector or display into an interactive “Smartboard” without need for physical hardware or a remote access application.

Through cross-platform compatibility, FocalCast allows for effortless setup and presentation via a top-of-the-line video capture and steaming solution such as Epiphan Pearl.

Simple to connect

FocalCast makes it simple to add wireless functionality to your Epiphan Pearl when streaming or capturing a presentation.

All you have to do is plug in an Apple TV or Miracast to one of your Pearl’s HDMI ports and use FocalCast to connect wirelessly from your Android or iOS device. Once connected, you now have the power to control your presentation directly from your mobile phone or tablet! Pretty easy stuff.

Control your collaboration

What’s more is that you can use Pearl with FocalCast as a multi-device collaboration tool to allow multiple users to draw and annotate a document together from separate mobile devices while managing the live recorded and streamed feed using Epiphan technology!

How is such a feature valuable? Think teamwork. It provides a perfect opportunity to work with others and draw upon the teamwork element to help create the ideal presentation experience.

The bottom line

By combining cutting edge video streaming and capture technology with a mobile interface application, Epiphan Pearl and FocalCast used together provide the ability to add significant value and functionality to your professional AV presentation experience.
