You can create and apply any saved configuration preset from the Configuration menu when you select
Maintenance using the Admin panel. A special Factory default configuration preset, which cannot be
erased, is included in the list of configuration presets. Use that to return to the factory setup without
destructively erasing any saved recordings or media files you've uploaded.
It's important to note that configuration presets are applied over existing settings. They affect only the
settings groups included in the preset. All other settings are unaffected. Read the
Configuration preset
considerations section carefully to understand caveats around using configuration presets.
Example of presets in action
You could upload custom background images to Pearl Mini in advance of a conference and create custom
channel configuration presets for several different keynote speakers, each with a different setup, and then
apply them later when you need them.
For example, you could create two configuration presets called Session 1 and Session 2. Each session could
include things like custom backgrounds, images and logos, channels and layouts, metadata, streaming
settings, network settings, and automatic file upload (AFU) locations. Then download those presets to your
local computer so you can upload them to your entire fleet of Pearl Mini systems.
Channel configuration includes any applied backgrounds and image files. If these files aren't
present when the configuration preset is saved, the save function will fail. Be careful when
deleting background images and logo files.
At the conference, simply apply the configuration preset that you need for the appropriate session using
either the Admin panel or the touch screen on Pearl Mini. When applying the configuration preset, all other
preset groups remain unchanged. The preset only affects channels and their configuration.
