Dear Epiphan team,
Actually we use multiple units of your Pearl Minis. But we have two feature requests which would make our life way easier (in case this is the wrong place for such feature requests, please let me know):
1st feature request Actually its only possible, to get ONE button to start the recorders and the streaming as soon as the device is locked (for the end-users / lecturers). That is fine if you always need the same aka both (streaming and recording for example). BUT: It would be great, to get the option to start selected recorders or streaming and seperate the needed features into two (or maybe even more) virtual on screen buttons. Sure - You have to name them then to differentiate. But that should be doable quite easily. Even a REC start / stop and Streaming start / stop as standard on-screen-button naming would be enough.
Use case: We have mixed requirements. Streaming, Streaming + REC and only REC. The units are therefor streaming “empty” quite often (without needing it). Or they are recording empty altough only streaming is needed. Best solution in our case: One virtual button for recording and one for streaming.
2nd feature request Actually we use multiple units open to be controlled by the end users aka lecturers (in locked mode - So only one virtual on screen-button control). Problem is: Some people start and forget to stop the recording and streaming (which means that the units then run through the night or even the weekend and record empty hours over hours of content).
Is it possible, to link a “lime limit” to the virtual button control (for example define 6 or 8h or so as a max. limit for the virtual button)? Even if it would be fixed (4, 8, 12h whatever) - It would save a ton of hastle and time waste on our side to stop the recorders manually / over the network as soon as we get a ton of “empty” recordings from them.
I hope thats the right place to put those requests.
As metnioned pls let me know the right place otherwise. Thx.
Kind regards
Daniel B.
