Apply a configuration preset using the touch screen

You can use the touch screen on Pearl Mini and Pearl-2 to apply configuration presets that are either stored locally on the internal storage of Pearl or from a USB drive that is attached to a USB port on Pearl. See below for instructions on how to prepare the USB drive and use it to apply a configuration preset to your Pearl. Configuration presets that only contain the network configuration group can also be applied using an alternative method, which is also described in this procedure.

If you apply a preset that has the EDID configuration group, the system may appear unresponsive for a short time while it applies these EDIDs to the video grabbers.

 

Prepare USB drive and use it to apply a configuration preset

  1. Make sure that USB drive is formatted with either FAT, exFAT, ext2 or ext4

  2. Connect the USB drive to a computer.

  3. Change the USB drive label to ‘EPIPHAN’. In majority of operating systems, this is usually performed by right clicking on the USB drive and select the rename option.

  4. Create a folder called ‘EPIPHAN’ as a top level level folder.

  5. Copy one or more Pearl Configuration Presets to the EPIPHAN folder created in the previous step.

  6. Safely eject the USB drive from your computer.

  7. Connect the Maintenance USB drive to one of the USB ports on your Pearl.
