parameters which can be modified known as Source Controls. For external live sources
you can set the AutoAspect treatment, as described in section 1.4.1, as well as
chromakey levels. For internal source controls you can also set the AutoAspect treatment,
as well as any control that the device has enabled. Source Controls reside on the the
actual input, in result wherever that source is outputted to, it will have the associated
source controls applied to it.
