Use the automatic channels Auto A and Auto B

Configure auto channels

Auto channels are included with Pearl to make setup quick and simple. However if you want to set custom
encoding or streaming configuration for the channel, you can configure it like any other channel.

To further configure automatic channels Auto A and Auto B:

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See

Connect to the admin

interface

.

 2. Login as admin.

 3. Scroll to the Channels section.

 4. Click Auto A or Auto B from the Channels section; the channel's status page opens.

 5. Configure the channel as you would any other channel. See below.

You can change the source used for the two auto channels by selecting a different source from
the layout editor in the Sources page. When you do this, the channel name changes to reflect the
new source (if that is the only source is used for the channel). No auto switching is performed.

This is desirable if you know, for example, that you will always use SDI video with TRS audio and
you never need the automatic switching capabilities of the auto channels.
