Integrating OpenCast with video production hardware

The integration of OpenCast, the open-source lecture capture and video management system, with the Epiphan Pearl video production hardware, offers a solution to enhance video production capabilities and especially lecture capture and classroom recordings. The Epiphan Pearl is known for its live streaming and recording capabilities. By integrating with OpenCast, these devices can now also automatically ingest captured content into the OpenCast system, where it can be edited, managed, and distributed. This integration ensures a seamless workflow from capture to distribution, reducing manual intervention and enhancing the efficiency of content management. Epiphan devices support multiple input sources, allowing for the capture of high-quality video and audio from multiple cameras, image sources and microphones. When combined with OpenCast’s powerful video processing and management tools, the result is a professional quality video production that can be easily distributed across different platforms. Both OpenCast and Epiphan Pearl are scalable solutions that can grow with the needs of the organisation. Besides with Epiphan, OpenCast integrates also with other hardware solutions such as Arec, Extron, Matrox and Teltek.
