APTECH has launched an integration between Epiphan Pearl capture systems and EchoVideo.

This enables universities to deploy Epiphan Pearl multi-source capture devices directly within the EchoVideo lecture capture workflow, delivering automated recording without changing existing teaching processes.

It also allows institutions already using Epiphan Pearl or Echo360 to standardise on dedicated hardware while maintaining familiar workflows for academic staff.

Key benefits include the ability to adopt Epiphan’s dedicated capture hardware without retraining users, automated recording based on class schedules and support for multi-source capture, including cameras, presentation content and document inputs. The system also improves reliability by using purpose-built hardware rather than PCs, while supporting scalable deployment across classrooms and lecture theatres.

“Standardising on solutions that are designed to work together reduces technology fragmentation, streamlines operations and strengthens overall system performance,” Swinburn University of Technology AV manager Scott Doyle says.

The integration works with AV control platforms including Crestron, Q-SYS and Extron, and offers centralised, cloud-based monitoring for IT teams managing campus-wide deployments.

“This allows Australian universities to benefit from the performance and reliability of Epiphan Pearl’s dedicated hardware, while seamlessly integrating EchoVideo’s globally proven learning platform. It’s a solution built for reliability at scale,” APTECH managing director Andrew Paton says.
