Configuration presets overview
Factory default
configuration preset (which cannot be erased) to help you return to factory configuration
without destructively erasing files saved to the system hard drive. (See
Configuration presets overview
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
section carefully to understand caveats around using configuration presets.
Example of configuration presets in action
A recording and streaming company brings Pearl to a conference. Each conference session needs to be
streamed and recorded with a picture in picture layout that includes identifying information about the
presenter in the metadata and the background image for the stream. Automatic file upload is needed to make
sure the files are uploaded right after each session is complete.
The company could bring Pearl in a factory configured state and get it ready between each session, but this
requires a trained operator and doesn't allow much time to get multiple operations completed.
Instead, the company could connect the system to their own corporate network before the show, upload the
required backgrounds, and create channel configuration presets for each conference track. They can also
create network and automatic file upload (AFU) presets for each of the home and remote locations. Once at
the conference, the only changes necessary are to apply the network and AFU preset upon arrival, and the
channel configuration presets between sessions. Note that for added simplicity, you can load presets via the
touch screen!
Channel configuration presets include links to background files used, but do not include the files
themselves see
. Be careful when deleting background images and logo files.
Internal network and AFU preset
The company uses this preset when configuring and testing from their corporate network. It uses a static IP
address on their corporate network and AFU that uses ftp to upload to a local ftp server.
