Pearl Mini User Guide Video and audio input sources
Video and audio input sources
The Admin panel automatically discovers all video and audio sources that you connect to the input ports on
Pearl Mini and lists them in the Inputs menu of the Admin panel.
A source's content can be video, a picture, or music from a connected audio mixer. Content can originate from
a camera, computer screen, an imported image in Pearl Mini, or a device that provides a video input signal with
audio.
Video sources are also displayed on the Epiphan Live control interface. See Monitor video
and audio input sources for more information.

About connecting video and audio sources
You can connect and disconnect your video and audio sources while Pearl Mini is powered on and when it is
powered off.
Changing the video or audio source 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 your video and audio sources to the following input ports on your system:
