Schedule start and stop times to record and stream

You can now use Epiphan Edge to schedule start and stop times for when Pearl-2 to record and/or stream. You just need to pair the Pearl-2 to an Epiphan Cloud account that has a Premium Epiphan Edge plan. Then configure the Pearl-2 to retrieve schedules from Epiphan Edge.

When a schedule is created for a Pearl-2, it will download the schedule to its local database and follow the schedule to start or stop recording and streaming as needed. Where recorded files are stored are determined by how the Pearl-2 is configured at scheduled start time of recording. For example, if the Pearl-2 is configured to use its AFU feature to transfer recorded files to a USB drive, at the end of a scheduled recording, all files recorded as part of this scheduled recording will be automatically uploaded to the USB drive.
