Use the automatic channels Auto A and Auto B

To get you started as quickly as possible, Pearl comes pre-configured with two channels: Auto A and Auto B.

To use these channels, simply plug a source into one of the Row A inputs and, if desired, a second source into
one of the Row B inputs. The system automatically configures the channel's frame size to match the source
resolution and calculates the best frame rate and bit rate.

In release 3.15.1 there is no audio automatically assigned to auto channels. Add audio manually
using the instructions Add an audio source (custom channel).

You can start viewing the channel immediately on the touch screen display (if enabled) or by using a browser
on a computer on the same LAN or network. Browse to the following URL:

For Auto A: http://.local/preview.cgi?channel=1
For Auto B: http://.local/preview.cgi?channel=2
For example:http://d560515f.local/preview.cgi?channel=2

Or, if Bonjour services (which permit browsing by serial number) are not installed on the computer you can
obtain the IP address from the touch screen display, if enabled, and browse to:
