Sources Pane

The Sources pane of the Master Control screen displays the connected encoders, receivers, and transmitters as individual tiles. The Sources pane includes a toolbar at the top to allow you to configure how you want to view your source tiles:

	Use the Sources Filter button in the toolbar to make the number of tiles more manageable by changing the selections on the dropdown menus to display only the selected source types or status. Sources Filter
	Use the Groups Filter button in the toolbar to make the number of tiles more manageable by changing the selections on the dropdown menus to display only the selected groups. Groups Filter
	You can also use the search text box to quickly find the source appliances you desire (see the following note). Select an appliance label or type a string in the text box. Search Box Note As you type in the search text box, the list of sources and labels in the search dropdown updates in real-time. However, this only searches the source and label names. Select the desired source appliance or label from the dropdown. Search as You Type After typing and pressing Enter key, the following fields are searched: appliance name, type, firmware version, destination device name, description, group name, labels, and serial number (transmitters). For each additional string or label you enter an AND operation is performed by the search.
	The Tile (icon) view icon switches the display of the source tiles into a simplified grid view. See the following section for more details.
	The Detailed view icon switches the display of the source tiles to a detailed list view. See the following section for more details.
