In addition to the existing Pearl-2 base functionality, the add-on allows operators to encode 4K content, build a 4K program from up to two 4K and two HD or IP camera inputs, and use the system's 4K output ports for higher-resolution production workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eFor broadcast engineers and live production teams, the upgrade also adds useful flexibility when a full 4K output is not required. UHD 4K sources can be downscaled to 1080p, while a single 4K image can be cropped into multiple 1080p or 720p views and treated as virtual cameras inside the Pearl-2 switching interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K encoding and streaming\u003c\/strong\u003e – enables higher-resolution production capabilities on the Pearl-2 Base Video Mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-source 4K production\u003c\/strong\u003e – supports a 4K program composed of up to two 4K and two HD or IP camera inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVirtual camera workflow\u003c\/strong\u003e – crops a 4K view into several 1080p or 720p regions for live switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K output support\u003c\/strong\u003e – enables use of the Pearl-2's 4K output ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUHD downscaling\u003c\/strong\u003e – allows 4K sources to be converted to 1080p for Full HD streaming workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eQuick Specs \u0026amp; Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4K feature add-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pearl-2 Base Video Mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K encoding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Supported with add-on activation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K streaming\u003c\/strong\u003e: Supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProgram composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Up to two 4K and two HD or IP camera inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVirtual camera crops\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1080p or 720p regions from a 4K source\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDownscaling\u003c\/strong\u003e: UHD 4K to 1080p\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActivation\u003c\/strong\u003e: One-time activation through the Pearl-2 web portal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy It Helps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA 4K source carries enough image area to create several usable HD framings from one camera position. With this add-on, operators can crop the 4K image into multiple 1080p or 720p views and move between those virtual cameras using the Pearl-2 switcher interface, reducing the need for multiple physical camera positions in some productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe upgrade also supports building a synchronized UHD program from four HD video sources. Those four HD feeds can be combined into a single live 4K video program, providing another way to use the available 4K canvas for multi-source production rather than relying only on native 4K cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eFor delivery, the resulting 4K production can be recorded and streamed to YouTube or another 4K-capable CDN. When the destination is still Full HD, the system can instead downscale 4K sources to 1080p, giving engineers flexibility to work with UHD acquisition while maintaining an HD distribution path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSystem Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K feature activation\u003c\/strong\u003e adds 4K encoding and streaming capabilities to the Pearl-2 Base Video Mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K program support\u003c\/strong\u003e accommodates up to two 4K and two HD or IP camera inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVirtual camera creation\u003c\/strong\u003e allows a 4K view to be divided into several 1080p or 720p shots\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitcher integration\u003c\/strong\u003e lets operators move between virtual camera views during live production\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K recording and streaming\u003c\/strong\u003e supports delivery to YouTube or another 4K-capable CDN\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHD source synchronization\u003c\/strong\u003e combines four HD videos into one synchronized live 4K program\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUHD-to-HD conversion\u003c\/strong\u003e supports downscaling 4K sources to 1080p for live streaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-time web activation\u003c\/strong\u003e enables the add-on through the Pearl-2 web portal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's In The Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Epiphan Pearl 2 4K Add-On\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTrusted Seller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis add-on is intended for professional Pearl-2 production environments that need 4K encoding, 4K streaming, virtual camera cropping, UHD output, and flexible 4K-to-HD workflow options without replacing the existing Pearl-2 Base Video Mixer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Epiphan Video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470381334690,"sku":"ESP1205","price":2120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/EPIPHANESP1205.jpg?v=1787231849","url":"https:\/\/www.coremicro.com\/products\/epiphan-pearl-2-4k-add-on","provider":"COREMICRO.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
