Epiphan Production Starter Bundle

Epiphan Production Starter Bundle combines an Epiphan Pearl-2 Base Video Mixer with one EC20 4K SDI/HDMI/NDI/Dante PTZ camera to create a compact production package for professional streaming and recording. The Pearl-2 serves as the central video mixer and recording platform, while the EC20 provides remotely controlled acquisition with UHD capability and 20x optical zoom.

For broadcast engineers and production teams building a straightforward single-camera system, the bundle brings camera acquisition, switching, encoding, recording, and monitoring into one coordinated workflow. Pearl-2 provides 12G-SDI, HDMI/DVI, HX/NDI, professional analog audio, and 512GB of internal storage, while the EC20 supports HDMI, 3G-SDI, LAN, and USB outputs plus a broad range of IP streaming protocols.

Highlights

• Single-camera production package – combines a Pearl-2 Base Video Mixer with one Epiphan EC20 PTZ camera
• 20x optical PTZ camera – EC20 uses a 6.25 to 125 mm lens with 20x optical and 16x digital zoom
• UHD-capable camera workflow – supports HDMI output and internal recording up to 3840 × 2160 at 60 fps
• Professional IP connectivity – supports Dante AV-H, NDI|HX2, ONVIF, RTMP/RTMPS, RTSP, and SRT streaming
• Complete camera mounting setup – includes both ceiling and wall mounting options for the EC20

Why It Helps

The Starter Bundle keeps the production chain compact by pairing one remotely operated PTZ camera with a dedicated Pearl-2 production system. For presentations, lecture capture, streaming, and other single-camera workflows, the operator can manage acquisition, switching, encoding, recording, and monitoring without building the system from unrelated components.

The EC20 gives the camera position considerably more flexibility than a fixed-view source. Its 20x optical zoom, 325° pan range, 120° tilt range, and 255 presets allow engineers to establish repeatable framing for presenters, stages, or room positions and recall those shots during production.

Signal routing can be adapted to the installation. The EC20 provides HDMI, 3G-SDI, LAN, and USB-C outputs, while Pearl-2 accepts 12G-SDI, HDMI/DVI, and HX/NDI sources. The source also notes that a Pearl-2 4K license is available separately when expanded 4K capability is required.
