The Education Development Centre (EDC) is a conference facility for the Department of Education in Adelaide, South Australia.
The EDC contains several hireable spaces for small or large groups, conferences, board meetings, presentations, hands-on training, or events.
They chose Epiphan Pearl-2 video encoders and two APT AV HD570 cameras to power their high-performance live video production capability.
Epiphan Pearl-2 for high-performance live video production
Epiphan Pearl-2 enables the capture and live streaming of lectures, presentations and events conducted in EDC spaces.
Presenters can easily start and end a live stream, switch between cameras and other AV sources, and monitor the streaming output.
In addition to these core capabilities, Pearl-2 boasts a long list of additional features, including:
- Seamless integrations: existing integrations with Learning Management Software include Panopto, YuJa, Opencast, and Kaltura.
- Direct feeds from Teams and Zoom: add Microsoft Teams and Zoom participants in full HD as SRT sources into Pearl with Epiphan Connect.
- Versatile connectivity with NDI and SRT: Pearl-2 supports high bandwidth NDI with alpha channels and NDI|HX for broadcast-quality video with low latency over Gigabit Ethernet networks. Plus, optimised video transport over any network with SRT is available.
- Create professional custom layouts: the easy-to-use layout editor allows you to combine, crop, and scale video sources to create dynamic, professional-quality layouts.
- Intuitive touch screen and one-touch streaming/recording: the built-in touch screen UI simplifies streaming and recording. One-touch functionality lets you start or stop recording and streaming with a tap of the screen, and from the touch screen, you can monitor your sources and switch simultaneously.
- Epiphan Edge (subscription cloud-based add-on) allows you to control Pearl-2 from anywhere to produce broadcast-quality content from a distance. It also provides centralised, remote management and control for Epiphan hardware. You can automate your video spaces with scheduling to ensure no recordings are missed.

The benefits of NDI
NDI is designed to ultimately replace specific wired connections and transmission, such as HDMI and SDI, making NDI a future-proof choice for larger-scale camera installations.
NDI-encoded video enables multiple broadcast-level quality signals to be transmitted and received over an IP network in real time. The transmitted information features low delay, precise frame rates, and mutual identification data streams. NDI makes simple and efficient video transmission over IP a reality.
