General Information
l Starting or stopping a scheduled VOD event before the scheduled start or stop time does not change the
event into an ad hoc event.
l Pearl Mini must be registered with Panopto to record and stream Panopto events, see Enable CMS and
register with Panopto .
l The maximum allowed bitrate for webcasts in Panopto is 2.5 Mbps, regardless of what bitrate is actually
set for the target resolution of the remote recorder in Panopto. For example, when creating a scheduled
webcasting event in Panopto, if you set the target resolution to a quality of 1920 x 1080 60 fps Bitrate:
4000 kbps, Pearl Mini streams the event at the maximum bitrate of 2500 kbps.
l Scheduled events have priority over ad hoc events. If an ad hoc event is still in progress when it's time to
start a scheduled event, the ad hoc event is stopped and the scheduled event starts.
l Scheduled VOD events automatically start recording locally on Pearl Mini even If the network is down or
Panopto is unavailable. After the session ends, the locally recorded files upload automatically to your
folder in Panopto when the network link to Panopto is re-established.
l Scheduled webcasting events do not start if Pearl Mini's connection to the CMS is not available.
l If the network connection is lost during a file upload to Panopto, the transfer automatically restarts when
the network connection re-establishes.
l If Pearl Mini loses power while a scheduled event is being recorded, the recording stops. If Pearl Mini is
powered back on before the scheduled end time for the event, recording of the scheduled event restarts
automatically and a second set of files are created. When the event ends, the files are uploaded to
Panopto.
l If Pearl Mini was unavailable on the network or powered down and misses a scheduled event, the status
of that event appears as Skipped on the Events page in the Admin panel.
l Do not use AFU or configure recording file size, type and other channel recording settings when CMS is
enabled on Pearl Mini.
l For ad hoc events, Pearl Mini ignores a user's presets that are set in Panopto. As a result, ad hoc
recordings automatically upload to the user's default folder as originally assigned by Panopto.
l Channel encoding settings you make on Pearl Mini are overridden by the default encoding settings the
system uses to record to Panopto.
For Panopto VOD events, if you manually stop a scheduled VOD event before the scheduled end
time when Pearl Mini doesn't have network connectivity, Pearl Mini uploads the completed event's
