Record to Kaltura CMS
You can register Pearl-2 as a resource on the Kaltura Content Management System (CMS) and use Pearl-2 to
automatically record scheduled VOD events. You can also manually start and stop recording ad hoc events
with a simple tap of the touch screen on Pearl-2.
Pearl-2 makes it easy to live stream or record multiple sources to an event. You can connect multiple audio
and video sources to Pearl-2, like HD cameras, document cameras, and even digital microscope cameras.
When the event ends, your VODs are automatically uploaded to Kaltura and appear in your Kaltura media list.

About recording to Kaltura CMS
Pearl-2 can be used to record scheduled VOD events with multiple audio and video sources, as well as for
manual (ad hoc) events. Once you've registered Pearl-2 with Kaltura, you can simply assign Pearl-2 as a
resource when you set up the event in Kaltura using MediaSpace.
When Kaltura CMS is enabled on Pearl-2, a new icon appears on the touch screen. Tap this icon to see the
scheduled events screen.
Each channel you configure on Pearl-2 is treated as a separate video source for your Kaltura event. Using
multiple channels is how you record multiple views for a Kaltura event. You can have up to five separate
channels for a multi-view event.
