Control Panel Port List and Filtering Reference

Overview

Look up Tag filtering, Port types, search, sorting, and folder navigation.

Filtering Sources and Destinations using Tags

Below the Preset bar is the filter area showing all Tags the user is allowed to see. Select Tags on the Source or Destination side to filter the Port list.

Changing the Filter Relation

Mode	Behavior
AND	Only Ports carrying ALL selected Tags are shown
OR	Ports carrying AT LEAST ONE selected Tag are shown
Include/Exclude	Individual Tags can be set to Include (show matching Ports) or Exclude (hide matching Ports), providing granular control beyond AND/OR combinations

Information

hi tracks the result and disables all Tags that would yield an empty result.

With an OR relation, the Port list shows additional sub-navigation buttons.

Hide Irrelevant Tags

Hide Irrelevant Tags controls presentation of the Tags available to you on the Control Panel. When enabled, unselected Tags that are disabled because they would produce no results for the current selection are hidden. Selected Tags remain visible. When disabled, irrelevant Tags remain visible but disabled.

Change this preference in your User Profile. It does not grant or remove access; roles and access filters determine which objects and Tags are available to you.

The Port List

The Port list shows the result of the Tag filtering. Port types include:

Source Port - icon indicating signal type and Port name
Port Container Source - special button representing a Port Container
Destination Port - shows Port name and currently connected Source
Push Trigger Button - triggers a Rule without on/off state
Toggle Trigger Button - triggers a Rule with on/off state

Display Options

Tool	Description
Change sorting of ports	Toggle between port number and alphabetical sorting. Alphabetical sorting applies Port priority first.
Reset Filters	Remove text filtering revert to default
Show/hide folder buttons for OR-linked tags	Display or hide folder buttons generated by OR-linked Tags.
Inspect Selected Port/Port Container	Open Signal Path view or Port Container content
Filter Ports by text	Search Ports by text. The search supports two modes: global search (across all Ports in the system) and local search (within the currently filtered/visible Ports only). The search also considers the active Label Override setting.

Port and Port Container References

See Find Port References.

NMOS Routing and Port Information

NMOS routing controls and available Port information depend on the commissioned integration. See AMWA NMOS Core Integration for required configuration, supported connection management, and known limitations.

Folders organize Ports and Port Containers into a hierarchy. Expand a folder group to navigate its contents instead of reviewing a flat Port list.

Source Ports Organized in Expandable Tag Folders

The Camera folder is open.
The MULTIVIEWER folder is available for navigation.
Studio Camera 1 is visible in the open Camera folder.

PARAMETERS Pane

The PARAMETERS pane shows parameters assigned to the selected Source or Destination Port. Select a Widget to change a parameter value.

Use Assign Parameter Control to set up Widgets for a Port.

Use Route a Source to a Destination to apply a connection.
