Pool [VCon IG]
A pool groups a set of devices. It has PoolCapabilities that connect a pool to Capabilities that all devices in the pool have.
If the actual device for an action is not important, it can be scheduled on a pool that has the needed PoolCapability. For example, a “Record” can be scheduled on a pool that contains devices of type “Recorder” and has a PoolCapability of type “Record”. The scheduler selects an available port for recording from the pool automatically.
