Basically, what's the difference and how do you guys use them?
The Channel name is on the OSD by default, but what made them create an IPC name in addition?

Is the Channel no. always 1?

User guides never give anything useful. They have a funny behaviour explaining technical terms with the very same words.
Like: "Channel Name. Input the channel name for your need" BRAVO!
