widgets as a single entity. A channel can represent a device, a signal path, or any set of
attributes one may find useful to consider as a single entity.

Source When the Kaleido-X itself is configured as a router, the channels are considered as sources for
the “KX Router” logical router, whose destinations are either widgets on the monitor wall, or
BNC outputs on the KXO-24Router cards. Source IDs to be used for channel routing purposes
are assigned in the
Channels/Sources tab. These IDs can be used by external router control
software or devices.
