What is Pearl Nexus?
Pearl Nexus is a versatile live video production device that's a video encoder, video streamer, live switcher, and video recorder all in one. Pearl Nexus is great for lecture capture applications.
With Pearl Nexus, you can capture, record and stream computer monitors, radar displays, or anything with a wide variety of supported video input signals, including:
- SDI
- HDMI™
- DVI-I (single link)
- USB
- SRT and
- NDI|HX
Capture audio via XLR, ¼ TRS, USB, RCA, 3.5 mm, SDI, HDMI, and network sources (SRT, NDI|HX, and RTSP).
Simultaneously capture up to *three audiovisual sources and choose how you want to record and stream them. Have separate ISOs or create custom layouts with multiple video sources for live switching. You can do all that using Pearl Nexus.
Stream to Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) worldwide using modern protocols SRT and HLS. At the same time, you can stream to other destinations using RTMP/RTMPS or RTSP. Even multicast directly to viewers on your LAN so they can watch the live channel broadcast using a web browser or media player on smart devices connected to the same private network as Pearl Nexus.
Download recordings using your web browser, or set Pearl Nexus to automatically upload recorded files directly to a network server using FTP, RSYNC, CIFS, WebDav, and more. Pearl Nexus is also fully integrated with Kaltura, Panopto, and YuJa Content Management Systems (CMSs) and can be registered as a video remote recorder resource for seamless lecture capture .
Network security compliance with 802.1x protocols, passwords, and certificate authentication means an easier setup for IT friendly live streaming over enterprise networks. Pearl Nexus is HTTPS enabled for secure administration and control over the LAN, and supports secure live streaming protocols like SRT with AES encryption and RTMPS.
Pearl Nexus does not capture from HDCP encrypted sources.
* Pearl Nexus supports up to three video inputs with certain conditions, see Pearl Nexus AV inputs.
