RTSP sources
RTSP sources are configured for connection to your Pearl-2 using the Source URL, Username and
Password specific to your selected RTSP source. (See Connect an RTSP source for more information).
RTSP sources can be further configured with a Preferred transport protocol (either UDP or TCP) and a
custom "No signal" image. (See Add a custom No Signal image ).
Add a custom No Signal image
By default the system displays a No Signal image when there is no video signal coming in to any of the video
input ports on Pearl-2. You can customize this image to display a different message to your viewers. For
example if a viewer logs in early, or if you are experiencing delays you could indicate the start time (or
expected resolution time) using the no signal image.
Before you can specify a custom No Signal image for an input port on Pearl-2, you must upload it, see Upload
or remove an image using the Media page.
To set the no signal image for an input port:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
2. From the Inputs menu, click the source name. The configuration page for the source opens.
3. In the "No signal" image section, select an image from the Image drop down list.
4. In the Timeout field, enter the number of seconds before the No Signal image is displayed. If no manual
value is entered, the default time to display is 5 seconds.
5. Click Apply.
