About Sources and Inputs
Source are defined from input signals. Multiple sources can be defined from the same input. After a source is defined, then several
attributes c an be modified. The se attributes are: color adjustments, crop, sharpness and mask. By default, a source is automatically
created for eac h Input. Up to 2 56 sources c an be created 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 displays input signals not sources.

• Features:
- W hen an input is created, a source is automatically created with the same attributes as the input.
- Multiple sources can be generated from the sam e input signal.
- Any source c an be dr opped into any layer an d any destination.
- The same source can be used in multiple layers and multiple destinations.
- It should be noted that if a source is used in multiple layers and a source is modified in one of the layers, it will not be
automatically updated in the other layers. To update the source in the other layers, it needs to be deleted from these layers
and re-inserted from the sources list.
