Recording and streaming states

You can set up multi-track recorders on Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, and Pearl Nexus. For information on recorders, see Multitrack Recorders.

The channels configuration group includes recording and streaming states for channels (or recorders on Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini). This means that if a channel is streaming or a channel (or recorder) is recording at the time you create a configuration preset, the channel will immediately start recording (or streaming) whenever you apply that preset to the channel. Similarly, if a configuration preset is created when a channel or recorder is not recording (or streaming), applying that preset later won't cause the channel and recorder to start recording (or streaming).

This means a channel (or recorder) may stop recording or streaming as a result of applying the preset if the channel (or recorder) was actively recording or streaming before applying the preset.

Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, and Pearl Nexus preset example

For example, when applying a preset with channel 3 set to record (the same example applies for streaming):

• If channel 3 exists prior to applying the preset and is already recording, the file will continue recording uninterrupted unless the recording file type is different in the preset (in which case a new file is started).
• If channel 3 exists prior to applying the preset and is not already recording, it immediately begins recording.
• If no channel with index 3 exists prior to applying the preset, the channel is created and it immediately begins recording.
