Epiphan Pearl - Manual (Page 234)

Pearl User Guide Record a channel via the web interface
if the channel, or all channels in a recorder, are made inactive by changing the channel configuration to "no
source" via the admin interface.
You can choose to create AVI, MP4, MOV or MPEG-TS recordings. See Recording basics to learn how to change
the recorded file type.
The MOV file type created by Pearl requires a relatively newer player for playback. Epiphan has tested with the
following players.
