2160. For many applications like a
background, you will want your image to have the same aspect ratio as the channel in which the image
appears. Pearl-2 supports images of all different shapes, such as 16×16 pixels; however, we recommended
that you upload exactly the size you need and avoid scaling the image using the custom layout editor.
Images can be uploaded in advance from the Media page, see
Upload or remove an image using the Media
. Otherwise, you can drag and drop to upload an image using the custom layout editor. Note that no
warning is displayed if the image is too large or if an image exists with the same name using drag and drop.
The file will be replaced with the new image you upload.
Any image without the proper file extension appears in the layout editor but doesn't display in the actual
video output. For instance, a .PNG image with the file extension .bmp or an invalid file extension such as
.png2 are examples of improper file extensions.
If your uploaded image does not appear in the list, ensure it doesn't exceed the maximum
image size of 4096
