Good question. Basically every connection on a back panel would generate the connection type, signal type, label and input or output (or both). A simple example would be an AV Receiver with three HDMI inputs labeled VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3. The ML/AL would recognize the actual HDMI pin, look at the corresponding label matching the pin and produce the following output.

IN-HDMI-HDMI-VIDEO1
IN-HDMI-HDMI-VIDEO2
IN-HDMI-HDMI-VIDEO3

This is good for about 80% of the components the other 20% of the connections are edge cases.
