Portal Properties Reference

Overview

Look up the fields used when creating or editing a Portal. See Portals for the virtual routing model and loop constraints.

Portal Properties

Each Portal has the following properties:

Property	Description
Primary Name	The display name of the Portal visible in the Control Panel and Port Picker dialogs
Color	The Portal's selected color in the interface
Panel Name	Shortened label used on Hardware Panels
Monitoring Name	Override label for UMD targets (defaults to the display name)
Mixer Name	Override label for vision mixer label targets (defaults to the Panel Name)
Format Type	One of the supported Flow formats: SDI, Audio, Data, NDI, AMPP Stream, ST2022-8, `ST2110-20` `ST2110-30` `ST2110-40`, Compressed V, Compressed A, or Compressed D.

Portal Icons

Portals use distinct icons in the hi web interface to differentiate them from standard Ports:

Format Type	Description
SDI NDI AMPP Stream ST2022-8, `ST2110-20` Compressed V	Portal video icon
Audio `ST2110-30` Compressed A	Portal audio icon
Data `ST2110-40` Compressed D	Portal data icon

These icons appear in the Control Panel, Port Picker dialogs, and anywhere Port icons are displayed. The tooltip of a Portal Port reads "Portal - <format type>", for example "Portal - SDI".

Constraints

The Format Type determines which Ports and Port Containers the Portal can connect to. Use compatible Source and Destination formats. Portal management requires the roles and licensing documented on Manage Portals.

Create Portals to configure these fields.
