1Pearl Nexus supports up to three HD video sources in a single channel with two picture in picture layouts under certain conditions, see Pearl Nexus AV inputs.
2HDCP compliant. Only content that is not HDCP-protected is captured from HDMI
3You can connect a USB, RTSP, SRT, or NDI|HX source to Pearl Nexus; however, using multiple digital sources can affect performance depending on your setup. If you experience performance issues, check CPU usage and take remedial actions like: remove some configured layouts, reduce the channel's frame rate, or remove a video input.
4Digital audio is de-embedded from the digital source.
5SD-SDI audio is not supported.
6Remote login requires an Epiphan Edge Premium account.
7Add a second Ethernet port by connecting a USB to Ethernet adapter to a USB port (user-supplied).
