Capture, stream, record
To achieve high-quality HD recordings and multiple simultaneous live streams, you need professional streaming and recording systems.
Epiphan products offer a balance between function and portability with options ranging from lightweight amd portable units to scalable rack-mounted solutions. Deciding which system meets your needs comes down to the input sources, live streaming capabilities, storage capacity, and resolutions they support.
What are streaming and recording systems?
Streaming and recording systems range from small, portable devices to rack-mountable systems that can capture, stream, and record video and audio from nearly any source. These powerful systems can encode video multiple ways, letting you record ISOs in up to 4K for archival purposes while also live streaming a lower resolution to save on bandwidth. You can even create custom layouts for streaming and recording, combining multiple video sources into a single stream.
What can I capture, stream, or record?
Streaming and recording systems can grab audio and video from nearly any type of source including HDMI, SDI, DVI, and USB, as well as network sources via NDI, SRT, and RTSP IP protocols. Devices you can capture include up to 4K cameras, laptops, medical devices, and much more.

- Select from industry-standard streaming protocols including RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, HLS, SRT, NDI, MPEG-DASH, and more.
- Configure recording time, size limits, file type, naming, and automatic file uploads to local or networked storage.
- Share your live stream with large audiences using built-in multicast streaming, or stream to a CDN (YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo) or streaming servers for wider distribution.
- Control recording, streaming, and live switching via Pearl’s web-based interface, Epiphan Live, and HTTP/HTTPS or RS-232 commands.
When would I use streaming and recording systems?
Live shows and conferences
- Stream and record live shows and conferences via SDI, DVI, HDMI, USB, RTSP, NDI, or SRT video signals up to 60 fps.
- Connect multiple audio and video sources simultaneously and create a dynamic, professional workflow for corporate training (HR and compliance videos).
- Incorporate USB status lights and instantly see when streaming or recording is in progress. Select models from Busylight and Delcom Products are supported.
Legal proceedings
- Capture courtrooms including mic/line-level audio sources, record and present as evidence during legal trials, securely stream content to local devices, or stream to remote viewers.
- Get end-to-end secure streaming with up to 256-bit AES encryption using SRT, or encrypt content over TLS/SSL connections using RTMPS. Use HLS and MPEG-DASH for secure live streaming over HTTPS.
- Deliver professional-quality videos using true HD cameras and professional audio, avoiding picture distortion and audio issues common with webcams and other consumer-level devices.
Distance learning
- Enable lecture capture, remote education, and distance learning, feeding your slide decks, HD cameras, and audio sources simultaneously.
- Create dynamic, broadcast-quality switchable content for remote students.
- Integrate Panopto or Kaltura directly with Pearl products to simplify streaming and recording workflows and decrease administration time afeter events.
Large-scale AV productions
- Control live streaming, recording, and switching via Pearl’s web-based interface, Epiphan Live, and RS-232 or HTTP/HTTPS commands.
- Integrate Pearl systems into Crestron AV systems with the Crestron-developed Control Module for Pearl encoders. Build on Crestron’s existing code base for secure, API control.
