Pool

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.

Properties

Property	Possible Values	Example	Description
id	string	0B	External ID of the Pool.
description	string	All recording devices in Cologne.	A human readable description of what the pool contains.
name	string	CologneRecordingDevicesPool.	The name of the pool.
deviceIds	Array of string	CODE `[ "2n", "0B" ]`	A list of the external IDs of the devices being part of the pool.
poolCapabilities	Array of PoolCapability	see PoolCapability.	Assigns all Capabilities it has to this Pool using PoolCapability-objects.
