Lecture Capture Without the Complexity
The Epiphan EC20 helps universities expand lecture capture, support hybrid learning, and standardise teaching-space technology across campus – all without the complexity of traditional PC-based solutions.
With AI-powered presenter tracking, direct Panopto integration and cloud-based fleet management, the EC20 enables institutions to deliver a consistent student experience while reducing infrastructure and support overheads. Built on the same engineering foundations as the trusted Epiphan Pearl platform, it combines intelligent automation with proven reliability.
Expand Capture with Less Infrastructure
The demand for universities to capture more video content, support flexible learning models, and deliver engaging experiences for both on-campus and remote students is unrelenting.
Traditional lecture capture solutions often require dedicated PCs, multiple hardware components and ongoing support resources.
The EC20 simplifies the model. Presenter tracking, recording, streaming and management capabilities are combined into a single platform designed specifically for higher education environments.
Why Universities Choose the EC20
Direct Panopto Integration
Stream, record, and upload directly to Panopto without requiring additional encoding hardware or classroom PCs. This reduces classroom complexity and lowers support requirements.
AI Presenter Tracking
Automatically follows lecturers throughout the teaching space, creating more engaging recordings without the need for a camera operator.
Single-Cable Installation
Power, network connectivity, video and audio are delivered through a single PoE+ connection for faster, cleaner deployments.
Built-in Beam Forming Microphone
The EC20's integrated microphone array removes the need for dedicated audio hardware in smaller teaching spaces.
Centralised Management with Epiphan Edge
Monitor, configure and update cameras across multiple campuses from a central dashboard using Epiphan Edge software.
Part of the Epiphan Lecture Capture Ecosystem
The EC20 integrates seamlessly with Epiphan Pearl systems, enabling a consistent approach to lecture capture, streaming and content creation across campus. Universities can standardise on a proven platform that scales from small teaching rooms to major lecture theatres.
Why It Matters
- Standardise technology across campuses
- Simplify support and management
- Scale from individual rooms to institution-wide deployments
- Build on the proven reliability of the Epiphan platform
Trusted for Teaching-Critical Environments
Universities rely on lecture capture technology every day. Built on the same engineering philosophies as the renowned Epiphan Pearl platform, the EC20 delivers the reliability, consistency and ease of management that AV and Learning Technology teams depend on. Benefits
- Fewer support requests
- Reduced classroom disruption
- Reliable automated recording
- Lower operational overheads
