Pearl Mini User Guide Preview a video source using the Admin Panel
Each video input on the back of the system is identified by an A or B and input type. For example, the HDMI
input labeled A appears as HDMI-A in the Web UI. It's good practice to preview the video source for each of
your inputs using the Admin panel.
When a video source is connected, the system automatically detects and adjusts the image capture settings
every 60 seconds. The interval is configurable. Generally no further configuration is needed; however you can
fine tune some settings using the Admin panel.
If no video source is connected to an input port, "No Signal" displays wherever that input is used in your
channels and layouts. You can change that to display the default "No Signal" image for Pearl Mini or create
your own custom no signal image. See
Add a custom No Signal image .
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.
Pearl Mini's Admin panel automatically discovers all audio sources and displays them in the same section.
