Record a channel

Using the Admin panel , you can start and stop recording a channel, as well as configure recording settings for the channel. You can also start and stop recording using Epiphan Edge, or:

  • Pearl Nano - the Record control key on the front panel

In the Admin panel, the channel number turns red to indicate it's recording. If the system runs out of storage space, the oldest recorded file is deleted to make room for the new recording.

If PoE+ power is interrupted while Pearl Nano is actively recording, the recorded file could become corrupted and be unplayable.

Start and stop recording using the Admin panel

  1. Login to the Admin panel as admin or operator, see Connect to the Admin panel.
  2. From the Channel(s) menu, select the channel and click Recording. The channel recording menu opens.
  3. Select Start to start recording the channel and select Stop when you're done.

    If the Start button is not active, there are no active sources for the channel. Check your inputs to ensure signals are working as expected.
