Epiphan Video’s Pearl family of hardware encoders is growing with the upcoming release of Pearl Nano, a versatile single-channel encoder that offers a refined yet powerful feature set in a compact form factor.“珍珠纳米”, we wanted to give customers a better fit for applications where you don’t need that all-in-one system like a Pearl-2 or Pearl Mini,大卫·柯克说。, Epiphan的营销副总裁. “不是每一件事
requires many inputs or channels, and then there’s contribution encoding where you really only need
一个摄像头和一个麦克风.”
Users can also add Pearl Nano onto an existing video production setup to leverage the device’s
流媒体和记录功能. Nano’s broad streaming protocol support includes modern
protocols like Secure Reliable Transport (SRT), Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), 和HTTP
Live Streaming (HLS), as well as standard ones like RTMP and RTMPS.
Nano boasts several features that are uncommon or unseen in other single-channel encoders. 一个屏幕
built into the device’s front allows for basic configuration and control as well as confidence monitoring
在流媒体和录制过程中. Rear inputs include HDMI and SDI video, two line-level XLR ports for
professional audio, an HDMI program out, and an HDMI pass through for zero-latency content display
在室内监视器上. To further streamline setup, Nano also supports Power over Ether网 Plus (PoE+)
除直流电源外.
Also unique to Nano is the powerful custom layout builder. This lets users tailor their video program
with a single-source or picture-in-picture layout that can include a dynamic background, 图形, 文本
叠加和其他元素.
“We looked at the gaps in the market and let that inform Nano’s development,” says Epiphan product
格雷格·奎克经理. “You see that in the front screen for confidence monitoring and control, the HDMI
pass through and professional audio inputs, and the modern streaming standards Nano supports.”
SRT encoding and decoding will prove a major application for Nano, Quirk adds. “Nano很棒
solution for remote contribution since it’s small and light for shipping and also straightforward for non-
technical users to connect their sources and start a stream.”
Adding to Nano’s SRT capabilities is remote accessibility through the Web-based user interface and
Epiphan Cloud, a centralized platform for configuration and monitoring of Epiphan devices. 这使
producers to remotely manage and control Pearl systems located anywhere in the world, reducing the
likelihood of configuration errors and making for an easier production overall.
Like Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini, Nano includes advanced security features like LDAP, 802.以及SSL
as deep integration with video platforms Kaltura and Panopto, which makes it possible for users to start
and stop events right from the front screen. And a first for a Pearl system: an expansion bay lets users
安装M.2块SSD硬盘用于额外的本地存储. Nano can also store recordings on an SD card inserted
into the system’s SD card slot, as well as connected USB or 网work-attached storage devices.
Epiphan expects to begin taking orders for Pearl Nano shortly, 与单位发货给客户之前
