The hardware channels can be set up in a number of ways, depending on the task you need the server to perform. These configurations are applied to all
the channels in a group (ChA-D, ChE-H, ChI-L) and can be used for simple background video, keyed video, MultiScreen,
Stereoscopic 3D, super slow motion, instant replay (2D), instant replay (3D), and instant replay (super slow motion).
Note: The following table shows channel allocations for the first four channels on the server (ChA-D) but the remaining groups are configured
in the same way. The exception being those configurations that use more than 4 channels.
