FAQs

Can I use the Pearl Mini without an internet connection?

What is the maximum recording resolution?

The Pearl Mini supports 1080p HD recording with hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding.

How do I create custom layouts?

You can create custom layouts using the Custom Layout Designer tool within the web-based Epiphan Live interface. This allows you to combine, crop, and scale video sources, and add elements like transparent PNG images, backgrounds, text, and timestamps.

What types of audio inputs does it support?

The Pearl Mini supports professional audio via 2x XLR inputs, as well as 2x 1/4″ TRS, 2x RCA, and 1x 3.5mm audio jack inputs.

Can I connect a USB webcam?

Yes, you can connect one USB webcam or audio device to the USB 3.0 ports, provided it is UVC/UAC compliant.

Where are recordings saved?

Recordings can be saved directly to a user-supplied 512 GB Ext4 SD card, a USB stick, or automatically uploaded to a network server (FTP or SFTP).

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the official Epiphan product documentation or sales contact for the most current warranty information, as this can vary by region and purchase date.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is illuminated.

No video or audio signal detected

Verify that your video and audio sources are connected correctly to the appropriate input ports. Check that the sources are powered on and outputting a signal. Ensure the selected input source in the Pearl Mini's interface matches the connected device.

Streaming or recording is choppy or failing

Check your network connection's stability and bandwidth, especially if streaming to external platforms. Ensure the SD card or USB drive has sufficient free space and is formatted correctly (Ext4 recommended for SD). Reduce the encoding bitrate if network congestion is suspected.

Web-based interface is unresponsive

Verify that the Pearl Mini is connected to the network and has a valid IP address. Try accessing the interface from a different browser or device. Restart the Pearl Mini.

Poor audio quality

Ensure professional microphones are connected to the XLR inputs. Check audio levels via the on-screen VU meters and adjust gain settings in the admin panel. Confirm that the correct audio input source is selected.
