Set up and enable MultiViewer
MultiViewer displays a custom mix of video sources including channels on the HDMI output port in a convenient
grid for confidence monitoring with minimal impact to the system's processors. MultiViewer features differ by
Pearl device:
l Pearl Mini - four video sources. Grid options include: 1x2 video sources, 2x2 video sources.
Save processing power so you can do more with your Pearl system while previewing multiple video sources on
the HDMI output port. With MultiViewer, the video output displays at a lowered frame rate to economize CPU
usage. Using MultiViewer does not lower the frame rate of channel recordings and live streams.
No audio signal present at the output port, but audio meters do display for channels and video sources that have
embedded audio signals.
