For best performance, we recommend using two video sources in up to two full HD channels simultaneously.
However, you can connect up to three video sources to Pearl Mini in the following scenarios:
1. One 1920×1080@30 fps channel configured with three layouts, one for each full HD video source
without any scaling and make the video image fill the whole frame.
2. Two 1920×1080@30 fps channels: one channel for a picture in picture switched program for HD
recording at 1080@30 fps at 8 Mbps, and a second channel with duplicate content at a lower
resolution of 720@30 fps at 2 Mbps for streaming that uses the first channel as the video source, see
Add video sources or a channel as a source . The switched program can have up to three layouts: two
that are picture in picture that includes your main camera and one other video source such as a
document camera or a laptop with slides, and a third layout of your main camera.
One of the video sources you connect can be either a USB or an RTSP source; however, you cannot connect
both at the same time. Pearl Mini supports connection of common signal converters and input adapters.
