Possible statuses are:
* **Green** – OK * **Red** – error state * **Pink** (shown together with a checkmark) – acknowledged error state * **Yellow** – Warning (recovered from error event) * **Gray** – pending/disabled

The ID is whatever you use in the external system to reference the ZEN Master object, though depending on what you are doing, it might serve different purposes:
* used by POIS to identify the source of SCTE-35 messages * used by ESNI to identify the audience that is receiving the content
Regardless, the External ID is the same whether entered in the **SCTE-35 Manipulation** settings or the **Advanced** settings, and you cannot enter different values in the two fields. | | **Proc. Cluster** | The name of the Channel Processing cluster that is used for the Channel. | | **Broadcaster** | The name of the Broadcaster that is used for the Channel. | | **Sources** | The number of Sources assigned to the Channel and their statuses. For single Source Channels the name of the Source is displayed. | | **Type** | The type of Channel, possible types are:
* **Adaptive Channel** – combines multiple Sources to create a unified HLS stream for output to an HTTP, S3, MediaStore, Azure Blob or GCP Target. * **Transcoded Channel** – transcodes a single Source to multiple bitrates for output to an HTTP, S3, MediaStore, Azure Blob or GCP Target. * **Pass-through** **Channel** – sends the Source to an output. | | **Targets** | The number of output Targets and their statuses. | | **Alt. Path** | Specifies if an Alternative Path has been configured or not. The Alternative Path is configured through the Broadcaster Cluster or the Channel configuration screens. | | **Tags** | The Tag/s that is associated with this Channel. | | **Priority** | Objects can be labeled as Priority so that they can be quickly found in the list of objects. This is helpful if you want to easily find these objects by sorting and filtering the list.
