Description
Text
Apply a custom name to the source. Enter a new name for each input you want to identify differently. The name is used to identify the input on the panel mnemonics as
well as on menus. If TSL id is associated with the input, the switcher will use the router mnemonic name over the internal one.
Tip: A line break can be added to the name by entering a vertical bar, or pipe, symbol (|) where you want the break. For example, entering
CAM|1 would be CAM and then 1 on a separate line. Note that the
| symbol does take up a character slot in the name.
