By connecting cloud-to-edge, Epiphan Connect maps video participants to paired Pearl inputs, delivering the industry’s first integrated hybrid solution, making it easy on creators, producers, and broadcasters alike.
New and enhanced control system integrations
A new Q-SYS plugin for Pearl will be made available to download towards the end of February through Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager, allowing Q-SYS customers to add Pearls to their automation ecosystems.
- Automatically activate connected cameras, audio sources, and start recording and streaming with Pearl from any Q-SYS touch screen controller

An improved Crestron driver will also be available through the company’s Application Market for enhanced integration and customization when adding a Pearl into any Crestron-controlled space.
- New video and audio previews on Crestron control touch screens
More details on these updates – including release notes, improvements to SRT useability, upgrades to the Epiphan Live switcher, and enhancements to Pearl’s Panopto integration – will be made available when firmware version 4.18 is released at the end of February.
