Create a channel
Create channels on Pearl Mini using the Admin panel. New channels automatically use the same aspect ratio as
the default frame size setting for the channel, which is 16:9. You can change the encoding settings for a channel
after the channel is created.
The default encoding settings for a channel are:
l Video: H.264, 1920x1080@30 fps, auto bitrate
l Audio: AAC, 48kHz stereo, 320 kbps
If the channel's video source doesn't have a 16:9 aspect ratio, the system automatically detects the
correct aspect ratio and updates the layout after you leave and return to the custom layout editor
page. This happens because the channel's encoding page has Use current signal resolution as
frame size selected by default. If you want to change the aspect ratio for your channel, see
Configure encoding .
For optimal performance, Pearl Mini comes pre-configured with two full HD channels at 30 fps: HDMI-A and
HDMI-B. You may find it easier to reconfigure those existing channels instead of deleting and creating new ones.
