Pearl-2 User Guide Set the background color
l If the channel is streaming, the stream is stopped and restarted.
l If the channel's recorder is recording, then recording is stopped and a new file is started.
If you delete all the layouts in a channel until there is only one layout left and that layout has only one video
source assigned, then the channel name changes back to the name of the video source. For example, Channel
1 changes to HDMI-A
To avoid channel name changes, we recommend that you rename the channel to a custom name. Changing
the channel name to a custom name ensures that no automatic channel renaming happens, see Rename a
channel.
Set the background color
You can select the background color to fill any unused space in a layout using the custom layout editor. For
