Pearl's web interface also automatically discovers all audio sources displays them in the same section. Audio
sources are identified by the word audio in the source name. Audio input devices such as a microphone and
portable music players can send audio signals to Pearl using the TRS audio input ports at the back of the
system. Audio is also supported via HDMI and SDI.
This chapter covers the following sections:

You can connect sources to Pearl at any time, either before or after the system is powered on. Similarly you
can disconnect a source from a port and even connect a different source at any time.
Changing the source connected to a port that is being streamed or recorded can result in the
recording stopping or the stream frame size changing depending on how your channel is
configured.
If the frame size changes, viewers may be disconnected and need to re-connect to the stream.
Connect the input sources to the following input ports on the system:
