Use the Admin panel to register Pearl device as a remote recorder for scheduled, recurring, and ad hoc recordings and webcasts. When you register Pearl device, a default name is assigned that includes the serial number of Pearl device. This name appears in the list of remote recorders in Panopto. You can change the remote recorder name using the Admin panel. Pearl device appears as an available resource as soon as the device is registered with Panopto. Before you begin, you need:

• Your Panopto service URL, for example: https://<**myorg**>.hosted.panopto.com/
• A Panopto-generated registration key for the remote recorder.
• The Epiphan API key from Panopto is required for on-premise versions of Panopto version 6 or earlier. Contact Panopto support for assistance to install the Epiphan API key. Important considerations
• You create a registration key in Panopto from ** System > Remote Recorders** when you click Manage registration keys. Record the key somewhere safe before closing the screen in Panopto. The key cannot be retrieved after the screen is closed. If you lose the registration key, you must create a new one to register the Pearl device as a remote recorder.
• Scheduled recordings are associated to a remote recorder using the registration key and not the device name.
• If you disconnect a Pearl device and register again using a different registration key, the scheduled sessions previously associated with the original key do not migrate over.
• If you're using the on-premise version of Panopto version 6 or earlier, you must manually add the API key for a Pearl device. Contact Panopto support for assistance.
• If you are unable to register a Pearl device, contact your Panopto administrator or Epiphan support. Enable a Pearl device as a remote recorder and register with Panopto using the Admin panel
• Log in to the Pearl device's Admin panel as admin.
