Recording and streaming states
Configuration presets that contain the
channels
configuration group specify the channels in the preset by
their index number. This means if you have channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 when you save your preset, applying
that preset will overwrite the configuration of your current channels with indexes 1, 2, 3 and 4. If prior to
applying that preset you also had channels with indexes 5 and 6, the configuration settings for those two
channels are erased when the preset is applied (because the preset only has 4 channels).
There are three areas where channel (and recorder) index numbers affect what happens when applying
configuration presets. See
Recording and streaming states
and
Recorded files in a channel or recorder
for
more information.
Recording and streaming states
You can set up multi-track recorders on Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini. For information on recorders,
see
.
The channels configuration group includes recording and streaming states for channels (or recorders on
Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini). This means that if a channel is streaming or a channel (or recorder) is recording at
the time you create a configuration preset, the channel will immediately start recording (or streaming)
whenever you apply that preset to the channel. Similarly, if a configuration preset is created when a
channel or recorder is not recording (or streaming), applying that preset later won't cause the channel
and recorder to start recording (or streaming).
This means a channel (or recorder) may stop recording or streaming as a result of applying
the preset if the channel (or recorder) was actively recording or streaming before applying the
preset.

streaming):
