Important considerations
l
Authentication credentials must be set up by your CMS administrator before you can login to your
CMS and create ad hoc events from the touch screen on Pearl device.
l
For Kaltura, you can use your Kaltura user ID or a valid Kaltura email address to authenticate and
create ad hoc events from the touch screen on Pearl device.
l
You cannot start an ad hoc event if it's within five minutes of a scheduled event's start time. The
Create event button does not display.
l
Scheduled events have priority over ad hoc events. If an ad hoc event is still in progress when it's
time to start a scheduled event, the Pearl device gracefully stops the ad hoc event and
automatically starts the scheduled event. The ad hoc recording automatically uploads to the CMS.
