Pearl-2 User Guide Tested RTSP-based IP cameras
Pearl-2's Admin panel automatically discovers all audio sources and displays them in the same section. An
exception is for RTSP audio sources. When an RTSP input stream is connected to your Pearl-2, a
corresponding audio source is automatically added to the list of audio sources for your channels, even if there
is no audio in the RTSP stream, see Add an audio source to a layout.
Audio mixers and other line level devices can be connected to the XLR and RCA audio input ports on Pearl-2.
Audio from sources connected to the HDMI, SDI, and USB video ports is also supported.
