- Tango Events - image from a tango attribute passed via tango events, e.g. LimaCCDs detectors
- Tango File - image defined by file and directory tango attributes, e.g. Pilatus w/o Hidra
- DOOCS Property - image from a doocs property, e.g. FLASH detectors
- ZMQ Stream - image from a simple ZMQ server, e.g. lavuezmqstreamfromtango SERVER

By enlarging a number of image sources in the `expert` mode: ``

`Configuration → General → Number of image sources`

the user can combine images from different sources, i.e. different detectors or detector modules.

- Offset: `x,y[,TRANSFORMATION]` where `x,y` are position of the first pixel for a particular image source while optional `TRANSFORMATION` can be `flip-up-down`, `flipud`, `fud`, `flip-left-right`, `fliplr`, `flr`, `transpose`, `t`, `rot90`, `r90`, `rot180`, `r180`, `r270`, `rot270`, `rot180+transpose`, `rot180t` or `r180t`
- Checkbox in the tag widget allows for switch on/off the corresponding image source

Start/ Stop button is only at the first source but it applies to all image sources.
