Connect a web URL as a video source

You can add a web URL as an input to a Pearl 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

  1. Log in to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.

  2. From the Inputs menu, select Add input and select Add Graphics input.

  3. Enter the following:

    1. 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.

    2. Rendering resolution: Optionally provide the resolution for Pearl to render this graphics input.

    3. 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.

    4. Timeout: Select an amount of time with no signal before the No Signal image appears.
