Record and stream using the control keys

Simply press the Record control key on Pearl Nano's front panel to easily start and stop recording a channel. The Record control key glows solid red and the recording timer on the Channel view increments while recording is in progress. When you're done, press the Record control key again to stop recording.

A formatted SD card (or SATA M.2 2280 SSD) must be installed and formatted before you can record video, see SD card and SATA M.2 2280 SSD storage. If no record medium is available, dashes display in place of the recording timer and the Record control key does not light.

To start and stop streaming, simply press the Stream control key on Pearl Nano's front panel to easily start and stop streaming a channel. The Stream control key glows solid blue and the streaming timer on the Channel view increments while streaming is in progress. When you're done, press the Stream control key again to stop streaming. If multiple streams are configured for the channel, pressing the Stream control key starts and stops all streams at the same time.

A stream must already be configured for the channel. If no stream is configured, dashes display in place of the streaming timer and the Stream control key does not light. To configure a live stream, see Streaming to a CDN, multicasting, and streaming to multiple destinations.

Pearl Nano also features One Touch control, which lets you start/stop streaming and recording at the same time with the touch of a button. For more information, see About One Touch streaming and recording.
