To label record trains on the EVS LSM-VIA, you define filters for the record trains. This allows you to map frequently-used trains to specific boxes on the Trains screen and assign a custom label. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the Trains screen by pressing the + button.
2. Tap the Define Filter button at the bottom right. The "Trains-Define Filter" screen appears.
3. Tap an empty box where you want to map a record train.
4. Select the required record train from the "Trains-Camera Selection" screen. The train is mapped to the selected box.
5. (Optional) Assign a color to the record train box:
- Tap the Color button.
- Choose a color from the palette or reset to default (gray) by selecting the white square.

This process allows you to label and organize record trains for quick access.
