When using Pearl Mini, we recommend using two video sources in up to two full HD channels simultaneously
for best performance. However, you can connect up to three video sources to Pearl Mini in the following
scenarios:
1. One 1080p 30 fps channel configured with three layouts, one for each full HD video source without
any scaling and make the video image fill the whole frame.
2. Two 1080p 30 fps channels: one channel for a picture in picture switched program for HD recording at
1080p30 fps at 8 Mbps, and a second channel with duplicate content at a lower resolution of 720p30
fps at 2 Mbps for streaming that uses the first channel as the video source, see
. The switched program can have up to three layouts: two that are picture in picture
that includes your main camera and one other video source such as a document camera or a laptop
with slides, and a third layout of your main camera.
Pearl Mini supports the use of many common signal converters and input adapters.
