Source Input List

The Source Input List is used to define all content sources that will be made available within your visability environment.

This document is a key input into system configuration, ensuring that all required sources are properly identified, prioritized, and prepared ahead of deployment.

The Source Input List allows the project team to clearly understand:

• What sources need to be available
• Where those sources originate
• Who is responsible for them
• How critical each source is to operations

Providing this information upfront supports accurate system configuration and helps streamline deployment and commissioning activities.

Each row in the Source Input List represents a source or group of sources that will be available in the system.

Typical sources include (See Source Types for more Information):

• Video streams (cameras, encoders, RTSP feeds)
• Physical inputs (HDMI-connected devices)
• Web-based dashboards
• Applications
• Interactive systems (KVM-enabled sources)

In environments with a large number of similar feeds (such as camera systems), it is not necessary to list every individual source.

Instead, a single row can be used to represent a group of similar inputs.

Example:

• Security Cameras (100 Feeds)
• Traffic Cameras – Citywide

When grouping sources, include:

• The stream type (e.g., RTSP, multicast)
• The vendor or system (e.g., Axis, Hanwha, Milestone, Genetec)

This keeps the document focused on system configuration rather than detailed inventory tracking.

When completing the Source Input List, ensure the following fields are populated:

• Source ID – Unique identifier for each source
• Source Name – Clear, recognizable name
• Source Type – Selected from the provided dropdown
• Location – Where the source originates
• Owner – Responsible team or individual
• Priority – Operational importance (High, Medium, Low)
• Notes – Any additional relevant details

Providing complete and accurate information in these fields enables efficient setup and reduces the need for follow-up during deployment.

Once the Source Input List has been completed, it should be shared with the appropriate project team members for review.

Once this form is complete, please send the finalized document to all required project stakeholders, including the integrator and vis|ability personnel, to support review, validation, and successful commissioning.
