Record
Pearl Mini encodes the video and audio it captures. You can stream your content and record it at the same time.
You can even stream your switched program using a lower quality stream (i.e. 1280×720 at 2Mbps) and at the
same time make a high quality recording of the second channel (i.e. 1920×1080 at 4 Mbps).
There are different ways to download recordings, like automatically downloading recordings to a USB memory
device. For Pearl Mini, an SD card must be installed to record content using Pearl Mini, see
SD card installation
and file management .

You can record a channel on Pearl Mini as AVI, MOV, MPEG-TS, MP4, or MP4-Fragmented. Easily stop and
start recording using any of the following:

If an accidental system shutdown occurs while recording is in progress, your recordings are closed off so they
are still playable. Physically unplugging a video source from the input port or otherwise interrupting the signal
does not stop recording. A No Signal image is inserted.
Pearl devices also come with APIs so you can setup third party tools to control recording, see the Pearl System
API Guide for details.
