Pearl Mini User Guide Add video sources or a channel as a source
If more than one video source is added to a channel, we recommend configuring the channel
encoding to use a fixed resolution as the frame size instead of automatically using the
resolution of the video source as the frame size (default). A fixed channel resolution ensures
that your channel displays properly at a fixed resolution. Using a fixed channel resolution also
avoids unintended resolution changes when switching between multiple layouts if the
different layouts happen to have different video sources with different resolutions, see
Configure encoding .
To add a video source or a channel as a source:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin , see Connect to the Admin panel .
2. From the Channel menu, select a channel and click Layouts . The custom layout editor opens.
3. In the Layouts list that appears at the top of the page, click a layout's row to select that layout or click
Add new layout .
4. Below the Layout editing area, click Add new item and select Video Source . The Source settings
appear.
5. From the Source settings, select either a video input or a channel in the Source drop down.
