You can choose one of the following input channel configura-
tions:

5 Click Apply. The system restarts with the new Input Channel
configuration.
Naming Input Channels
Input Channel and FX Return channel names can be changed
from the Inputs page. Channel names can be up to 32 characters
in length. When displayed on the S3 control surface, names are
abbreviated to fit the display
To change the name of an Input Channel or FX Return channel:
1 Go the Inputs page.
2 Select the channel whose name you want to change.
3 Double-click the channel name.
4 Type a new name and press Enter on the computer keyboard.
If there are more input processing channels available than
physical hardware inputs, then you can use the “extra” input
processing channels for advanced monitor mixing workflows.
For more information, see “Assigning a Source to Multiple
