# 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**.

**Device differences**
- **Pearl Nano:** no equivalent content exists anywhere in Pearl Nano's guide.
