# Select the video output source using the device screen

*Applies to: Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nano*

It's easy to change the video source that appears at the video output port using the
device screen. For video sources that have audio, you can enable and disable the audio
as well. Audio is enabled by default.

To configure the video output port parameters, use the Admin panel.

**Device differences**

- **Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini:** use the touch screen. See Monitor and select the video
  output source using Epiphan Live in the Pearl Family shared guide for an alternative
  method using the Admin panel dashboard.

  - From the touch screen, tap the **gear** icon to open the System settings screen. If
    the control icons aren't showing, tap anywhere on the touch screen.
  - Tap the arrow icon in the lower-right corner of the screen to go to the second
    Settings page.
  - Tap Output port(s) and select a video output port.
  - From the Output port's screen, select the source you want displayed on the video
    output port and tap **Apply**.

- **Pearl Nano:** does not support Epiphan Live. Use the front screen instead: press
  the **left arrow** key repeatedly on the control interface until the Menu screen
  displays. Use the arrow and check mark keys to select **System**. Then from the
  System screen, select **Settings** to open the Settings screen. From the Settings
  screen, select **HDMI output** to open the HDMI output screen, then press the
  **check mark** key to select Video. The available video sources display. Highlight
  the source you want to display on the output, then press the **check mark** key to
  select and return to the previous screen. To return to the previous screen without
  making a selection, press the **left arrow** key.
