Monitor video and audio input sources using Epiphan Live

Use the Dashboard to monitor your video and audio inputs. The video inputs section of the Dashboard lists all inputs configured on your Pearl-2 and displays the video resolution.

• A green dot means that the video source is connected and a signal is received.
• A yellow dot means that a signal is not being receiving from the source.
• A triangular warning icon means there is a source configuration issue that needs attention.

Tap the name of a video input to open the source details in a thumbnail view, including warning information if applicable.

The audio inputs configured on your Pearl-2 appear in the Audio inputs section of the Dashboard.

• A grayed-out audio source means that the audio source is not used in any channels.
• A triangular warning icon means there is a source configuration issue that needs attention. Click the audio source name to display the warning message.
• A green dot means the source is connected and the accompanying VU meter shows the audio level.

The audio VU meter uses quasi-peak ballistics with samples averaged every 10 ms. The maximum average in each 100 ms period is displayed as a series of colored bars. The following table describes the levels at which the meter changes from green to yellow and red.

Audio VU meter levels

Color	Decibel range
Red	0 to -9 dBFS
Yellow	-9 to -18 dBFS
Green	-18 dBFS and lower
