Connect a web URL as a video source

Applies to: Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nexus

You can add a web URL as an input to the device just the same as you would connect an SRT source. This feature is helpful for adding lower-thirds, titling, and bugs.

Add a web URL as an input using the Admin panel

• Log in to the Admin panel as admin.
• From the Inputs menu, select Add input and select Add Graphics input.
• Enter the following:
  • Web-output url: the URL of the graphics source using the format https://<host.domain>, where <host.domain> is the web output of the graphics.
  • Rendering resolution: Optionally provide the resolution for the device to render this graphics input.
  • No signal image: Select an image to be displayed if there is no signal in the web URL stream from the dropdown list. The default image displays the words NO SIGNAL. To add a new image, select Media in the Configuration menu and click Choose File.
  • Timeout: Select an amount of time with no signal before the No Signal image appears.
• Click Apply.
