Pearl Mini User Guide Create a channel
For important considerations before deleting channels when configuration presets are used, see
Configuration preset considerations .
It's possible to create a third channel and adjust the encoding settings of your channels to economize the CPU
processing, but we don't guarantee optimum performance from your Pearl Mini with three channels. To optimize
the performance of your Pearl Mini if you have more than two channels configured, consider deleting unused
layouts and avoiding up scaling or down scaling video sources.
Each additional channel and layout consumes additional CPU processing capacity of Pearl Mini, see Optimum
System Load .
When you create a channel, it's convenient to add your video and audio sources at that time. Channels can have
one or more video and audio sources. This procedure includes basic steps to add a single video and audio
source.
