# Input Labels

Input sources on Blackmagic Design Videohub only expose a label, but RouteEffect allows you to add additional metadata for an input source.

The following metadata is available to add for inputs:

* **Hide Input**: Hide the source in all of the Routing views.
* **Short Label**: A short label that's displayed on the Buttons page.
* **Icon**: An [SF Symbol](https://developer.apple.com/sf-symbols/) representative of the input source.
* **Icon Badge**: Choose a number from 0 to 50 or a letter from A to Z. This badget will be displayed on the Buttons page in the upper-right corner of the button.
* **Color**: The color of the input source to be displayed on the Button, Split, and List sections.
* **Notes**: Optional notes about the input source. Search will look through the notes field.

You can press `Command-Shift-I` to go to the Input Labels section when connected to a video router.
