Pearl Mini User Guide
Set up and enable MultiViewer
Save processing power so you can do more with your Pearl system while previewing multiple video
sources on the HDMI output port. With MultiViewer, the video output displays at a lowered frame rate to
economize CPU usage. Using MultiViewer does not lower the frame rate of channel recordings and live
streams.
No audio signal present at the output port, but audio meters do display for channels and video sources
that have embedded audio signals.
Use the Admin panel to choose which video sources appear in the pre-configured MultiViewer grids and
to set the video output port resolution. You can enable MultiViewer for the output port using the Admin
panel, the Pearl device screen, and using local console.
Deleted network sources or channels may appear in MultiViewer.
