# I/O Bin

Use the nodes in the I/O bin to load and import source clips.

Use the node... | To...
--- | ---
Desk | Load clips directly from the EditDesk.
Library | Load clips from local or remote libraries.
Import | Import clips in supported format from locations accessible in the local filesystem. Does not support multi-channel, .precomp, or Gateway clips.
Gateway Import | Import clips in any supported formats from any available location. Best node to handle multi-channel clips such OpenEXR, metadata rich clips such as RED clips. Only node to use when importing Gateway clips.

The I/O bin also contains a MUX node. The MUX node is a schematic tool that helps create cleaner schematics by allowing you to have multiple outputs from one input. It incorporates the hiding of connections to prevent schematic connection overlaps.

You cannot customize the I/O bin.
