The Epiphan Enterprise Integration provides the ability to use the Video Platform to schedule, record, and import captures from Epiphan appliances.

Registering an Epiphan Appliance in the Video Platform’s Admin Panel

Registering an Epiphan appliance will allow Admin users to import and manage schedules remotely within the Admin Panel Video Platform. The initial step involves registering the Epiphan appliance in the Admin Panel.

Setting up YuJa Epiphan Middleware

YuJa Epiphan Middleware is required in order to maintain connections between the Epiphan Appliance and the Video Platform. It is recommended that this is set up and run on a computer with a stable Internet connection and on the same network as the Epiphan Appliance.

Note: This requires Java 8 to be installed on the computer. Open Windows cmd and type in Java. If it states that the command is not recognized, please proceed to this link to download and install Java 8 on the computer (https://www.java.com/en/download/help/windows_manual_download.xml). Otherwise, proceed to the steps below.
