Pearl-2 User Guide About automatic channels Auto A and Auto B
You can start viewing the channel immediately on the touch screen or using an web browser on the same LAN
or network as Pearl-2. Browse to the following URL:
For Auto A:http://<serial>.local/preview.cgi?channel=1
For Auto B: http://<serial>.local/preview.cgi?channel=2
For example:http://d560515f.local/preview.cgi?channel=2
If Bonjour services, which permits browsing by serial number, are not installed on your admin computer, you
can get the IP address of Pearl-2 from the touch screen display and browse to:
For Auto A: http://<IP Address for Pearl-2>/preview.cgi?channel=1
You find alternate connection streams (i.e. RTSPor MPEG-TS) and can further configure these channels by
logging into the Admin panel and accessing Auto A and Auto B using the links under the Channels menu.
You can delete the Auto A and Auto B channels, but they will re-appear upon factory reset or
when loading the default configuration profile.
Which signal is used for Auto-A or Auto-B?
Pearl-2 has video input sensing, which means that it knows when a video signal is received from an attached
source.
If you attach more than one source to a row while Pearl-2 is powered on, the first source you attach has the
highest priority. If you attach more than one source to a row before powering on Pearl-2, the following
priority is used:
Priority Connector Type
1 HDMI (with HDMIAudio)
2 HDMI 4K
4K
(with HDMIAudio)
3 SDI(withSDIAudio)
4 USB video (with USB audio)
The auto channel uses a source until that source no longer has a signal. Then, it switches to the next highest
priority signal.
