Pearl Nano User Guide What is a channel?
What is a channel?
Your video and audio sources that are connected to the input ports on Pearl Nano can be combined and
added to a channel, which you can stream and record. A channel is essentially an encoding instance that
you associate with your video and audio inputs to produce outputs such as video recordings and live
streams.
Pearl Nano has a single channel already preconfigured as an Auto channel by default. As soon as you
connect a video source to one of the video input ports, it appears automatically in the channel's custom
layout. Changing the channel's frame rate will change the frame rate used at the output port for that
video input. For information about video inputs and signal priority when using Auto channels, see
About
automatic channels
Channel customization using the layout editor
There are many creative ways to customize a channel in Pearl Nano. Easily combine multiple video
sources to the same layout for picture in picture or side-by-side layouts using the convenient custom
layout editor. You can add text overlays and effects, like transparent logos and lower thirds. Customize a
channel with images, company information, corporate colors, and time stamps just to name a few
possibilities.
To create custom layouts, see Custom layout configuration and About the custom layout editor .
Channel layout examples
Here are some examples of different layouts you can create using the custom layout editor with just two
video input sources and two media image files.
Layout example Description

presentation in this case), at the full size
of the channel.

editor, add one video source to the layout.
