QUESTION: Naming logic for "video / monitor outs"

Hi! Just were thinking on it. We - users - use these years ago, but actually
What is the purpose behind using two naming “pattern” for the same, or similar items reg. video monitors?

In different places

  • it’s sometimes called “Video Monitors / Video: Video1”,
  • meanwhile under Devices/Video Views it’s called “Monitor 1”.

Why “monitor1” and not “video1”?
…or why not monitor1 or video1 everywhere? (not talking about proxy-port-customname)
Experienced with new by-user, it can be a bit confusing for new users.

Maybe renaming items under “Video Views” from “Monitor#N” to “Video#N”? Or there is an explanation, why it not meant to be called the same?

With other words, why aren’t these “Video:1, Video:2, etc”?
