Key functions at your fingertips
Nano’s front screen offers quick access to essential functions including basic configuration and easy streaming and recording. During events, the built-in screen serves as at-a-glance verification of your audio level and video program for production peace of mind.
Cloud-based configuration and monitoring
Streamline the configuration and monitoring of multiple Pearl Nanos and other Epiphan devices with centralized access to key device statistics including operational status, system load, unit temperature, available storage, and overall health.
Elevate your productions
Build a beautiful layout for your video program with Pearl Nano’s powerful custom layout designer. Create anything from simple picture-in-picture layouts to eye-popping compositions featuring dynamic backgrounds and other custom graphics – whatever suits your event best.
Ideal for SRT contributions
The compact and lightweight Pearl Nano supports Haivision’s open-source Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol for secure, high-quality, low-latency video streaming over any given network.
Pair with Panopto or Kaltura
Deep integration with Panopto and Kaltura lets you start and stop scheduled streaming or recording events using Nano’s built-in screen and controls. The system can also push recordings to a user’s folder on either platform to save administration time after events.
Built-in video and professional audio inputs
Simplify your streaming and recording setup with the ability to directly connect HDMI and SDI video sources and connect your audio using XLR, USB, and RCA.
HDMI pass-through
For easy confidence monitoring or content projection, Nano’s HDMI pass-through can display video sources on in-room monitors with zero latency.
Broad streaming protocol support
Stream to any content distribution network or streaming server using modern protocols like SRT, HLS, or MPEG-DASH, or more common ones like RTMP or RTMPS.
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
Streamline your setup even further with the ability to power Nano over Ethernet in addition to DC power.
A perfect fit for key applications
Compact encoder for live production
Use Nano as your perfect-fit encoder for small-scale live events. Built-in inputs for video and professional audio, HDMI pass-through, and PoE+ make setup a breeze.
Add on to your production setup
Leverage Nano’s advanced and easy-to-use streaming and recording functions as part of a more complex setup that includes additional production capabilities.
SRT contribution encoder
Thanks to its small size, SRT encoding and decoding capabilities, and end-to-end control, Nano is an ideal contribution encoder for remote guests.
Flexible storage
Nano makes it easy to record, transfer, and back up files with a variety of storage options.
SD card
Pearl Nano includes an SD card slot on the front of the device for storage.
SSD drive
Need more local storage? Just add an M.2 SATA SSD to Nano’s expansion bay.
Easy file transfer
Nano can automatically transfer recorded files to a USB drive, local server, or network-attached storage device.
No-fuss networking and security
Easily add Pearl Nano to any network and prevent unauthorized access with a bevy of security features including DHCP and LDAP support, role-based access control, 802.1x network access control, and SSL.
Much more in store for Pearl Nano
4K streaming and recording, HEVC/H. 265 and ladder encoding, USB video support, and more are planned for Pearl Nano after launch.
