Input and Filter Sockets

<Convert>.Input_1     UndefinedClass    default: undefined   --  maxObject

<Convert>.Input_3     UndefinedClass    default: undefined   --  maxObject

<Convert>.Input_4     UndefinedClass    default: undefined   --  maxObject

Get/set the sub-operators connected to the four Input sockets of the Convert sub-operator.

Setting an Input to a sub-operator of the expected type will effectively wire that sub-operator to the corresponding Input of the Convert sub-operator.

The Input types depend on the .Type property as listed below:

.Type	.Input_1	.Input_2	.Input_3	.Input_4
