The firmware's expanded REST API is a game-changer for system integrators, AV professionals, and enterprise teams. With a new developer-access mode, users can now generate and implement API commands through simple copy-and-paste functionality, dramatically reducing integration complexity. The API empowers organizations to automate complex workflows, customize event controls, and manage multiple Pearl devices from a centralized dashboard. By supporting integration with platforms like Panopto, Kaltura, and YuJa, the update enables one-click automation and eliminates repetitive manual tasks. Crestron system integration has also been improved, featuring more secure HTTPS commands and enhanced file and channel naming conventions that streamline recorded content organization.

Peripheral support and file management receive notable upgrades in this release. The firmware now supports expanded Delcom USB button functionality, allowing users to start, stop, pause, and confirm events with greater flexibility. Customizable LED states for Delcom and Kuando USB status lights provide instant visual feedback on device and event statuses. Furthermore, Epiphan Edge introduces a simplified file-sharing mechanism, enabling users to automatically upload and share files with clients at the touch of a button. This free update will be available for all Pearl Nexus, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nano, and Pearl-2 systems, accessible through a free Epiphan Edge account or the device's local web interface. The comprehensive update underscores Epiphan's commitment to providing flexible, efficient, and user-friendly video management solutions for education, corporate, and broadcast environments.
