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.
Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini - 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.
For more information, see
Configure encoding .
