Monitor channels and inputs

Channel preview thumbnails are a quick way to confirm that your video sources are working. And audio meters actively respond when there is an audio signal present. You can see those on numerous pages in Epiphan Edge, including the Devices Dashboard, Pearl's Device Details page when you select the Channels or Inputs tab, the LiveScrypt Devices page, and the LiveScrypt device Settings page.

Note: A high bitrate sent from a Pearl device may cause the channel preview to appear choppy.

For Pearl family devices, details about video and audio input sources are found on the Channel Details page and the Inputs page. The Channel Details page provides a near real-time video monitoring experience with the option to view video in high definition.

For LiveScrypt devices, you can monitor transcription text on the LiveScrypt device Settings page, as well as audio level meters.
