Photo Moment - March 09, 2017
It's time to see what this Pearl-2 can do!

Well, it can…Capture 6 video sources at once, Switch video sources live, Simultaneously live stream to YouTube and Facebook, it has a Custom layout builder, it can record your content, auto or custom setup for a stream, and more.

Epiphan Pearl-2 [B&H - https://bhpho.to/2kLoWx2]
Love the kit but no way I could recoup that on the streaming I do for Education clients. I love Epiphan hardware though - I have the AV.io HD and it just works. I hope they sell enough units over time for it to come down in price. Being able to get multi vid in + what seems like great Lipsync without having to adjust is wonderful. Love the show BTW - such attention to detail.
This was a great show! Very informative!
I have experience with newtech tricaster, what diference this device to what the cheapest tricaster can do being the tricaster less expensive? :/
+vimanaboy You think 7.3 is buggy; did you try 6?!?! So I gave up long ago on doing anything fancy in Wirecast. It can do everything that you ask but the more you add, the less reliable it is. I'm on 7.x, whatever is latest.
Can you key-in production graphics like with Wirecast, or is titling limited to the built-in text generator? How about media files and web pages? Also what version of Wirecast do you use? We're on 7.3 but finding it very buggy :(
