Epiphan Video Pearl 2 Live Stream Switcher, Encoder, Recorder...Appliance

In this week’s episode, we explain when a high-end livestream device like the Epiphan Video Pearl 2 makes sense. Many of you are familiar with the Blackmagic Design ATEM and ATEM Mini switchers. The Pearl 2 has several important features that make the Pearl 2 indispensable for productions where you need remote control or to add remote contributors to your stream with Secure Reliable Transport (SRT). It also has several small, but important features like the ability to stream to multiple platforms at the same time or to be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world. Let’s take a closer look!

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders.
