Naming input and output ports
You can name the input and output ports for each slot in CORIOgrapher™.
Why should I name input and output ports?
CORIOgrapher uses slot identifiers to give each input or output port in each slot a unique name. For example, the first port in slot 1 is named s1i1 for slot 1 input 1. These unique identifiers tell you the position, but not what is connected to that input or output.
Naming your ports with something that indicates what is connected to the port can help you identify what is what in your configuration, and will make it easier for you to see quickly which source is playing in which window. For example, you might rename s1i1 to Camera 1.
The Streaming media and 4K playback input module has two virtual input ports. Each port refers to a play queue, not to a specific streaming source. If you intend to build play queues with multiple sources, for example, one or two streaming sources and media items from a USB drive, then consider unique names such as PlayQueue1 and PlayQueue2. If you intend to always have just one streaming source in a play queue, then you could use names like WOWZAstream, or LectureTheatreStream.
Naming rules
Names must be unique and start with a letter. They can contain letters, numbers, and underscores, and can be up to 21 characters long.
