Harness the power of Configuration Presets on Pearl, now via USB

August 3, 2023

Epiphan Pearl-family video encoder/recorder with a hand adjusting the touchscreen, showcasing configuration presets.

Alongside numerous minor enhancements, Pearl Firmware 4.20 brings even more value to customers with a major upgrade to Configuration Presets.

The powerful Configuration Preset utility allows users to keep snapshots of a Pearl setup, and even share it to other Pearl systems. This is incredibly handy for loading a saved event template, or deploying multiple Pearls with the same settings.

Now, customers can load presets directly from an attached USB drive! There’s no easier way to set up a Pearl in a new location without any peripherals or even network access.

Set to release Thursday, August 3, customers will be able to download firmware 4.20 with a free Epiphan Edge™ account which gives you cloud control of your devices, or use the local web UI on your device.
