The channel type defines what it is used for in the broadcast framework.

Primarily, the channel type is intended to resolve channel collisions between simultaneous "program" and "preview" playbacks on a given system. In other words:

• Channel selection for rundown pages is restricted to "program" channels.
• Channel selection for preview is restricted to "preview" channels.

It is thus not possible for a user to mistakenly select the same channel for both preview and program.

Some additional restrictions are applied according to channel type:

• preview channels must only have outputs local to the process. "Remote" previews are not supported.
• [backend] playback request type (program or preview) must match with the channel type. This is a safety net for any other extended code paths that are not in the Motion Design plugin.
