About Sources and Inputs
Source are defined from input signals. Multiple sources can be defined from the s ame input. After a source is defined, then several
attributes can be modified. These attributes are: color adjustments, crop, sharpness and m ask. By default, a source is auto matically
created for each Input. Up to 256 sources can be c reated form the same input. As with inputs, sources can be defined from multiple
connectors, ex: 4K or DL DVI and as a single link or dual link.
The multiviewer d isplays input signals n ot sources.

- Any source c an b e dropped into any layer and an y destination.
- The same s o urce can b e u sed in m ultiple layers and multiple destinations.
- It should be noted that if a source is used in multiple layers and a source is m odified in one of the layers, it will not be
automatically updated in the other layers. To upda te the source in the other layers, it needs to be deleted from these layers
