Custom layout configuration
Using the custom layout editor, you can create completely different looks for your channel - like picture in picture

then resize and arrange all the different media elements the way you want.

Multiple Layouts on Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini
When you add multiple layouts to a channel, you can switch between the different layouts for a more interesting
and dynamic presentation. Each layout you add to your channel adds overhead to Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini, and
more complex layouts consume more of the system's resources. So, it's a good idea to delete any layouts you're
not using.
About the custom layout editor
The custom layout editor gives you full control of the size and position of images, video sources, and text
overlays.
Access the custom layout editor using the Admin panel when you select your channel from the Channels menu
and click Layouts.
