streaming, and even share the live broadcast link with viewers on your network all at the same time. But
remember, the more streams you configure, the more network bandwidth you need. To stream to CDNs and
multicast a channel at the same time, the channel must have H.264 configured as the channel encoding
Another option is to set up multiple channels on Pearl Mini and stream those using the Admin panel. That way,
you can configure each channel with different encoding settings. For example, you can configure one channel
with the streaming specifications for YouTube and configure the second channel for streaming to Facebook.
Using one channel as your main switched program, use Pearl Mini's channel as a source feature to feed that
channel into your second channel. That way, you're streaming the exact same switched program to different
destinations at different encoding settings. For information about using a channel as a source, see

As you can see, setting up streaming to multiple destinations is very flexible with Pearl Mini.
