Inputs and Outputs - inputs and outputs are the physical connector locations on the rear of an enclosure. Each enclo-
sure holds a maximum of 12 inputs and 4 outputs.
Level - The half-Y uses the term level to refer to either the upper or lower I/O board. Levels are used for signal
breakaway.
Local X/Y Control Panel - The panel on the front of an enclosure that has operation keys. Almost all distribution
matrices will have at least one enclosure with a control panel.
Module - Also known as a software module. A module is a chunk of software code that allows the matrix to accom-
plish specific tasks.
RGBS - A four input video signal; R = Red, G = Green, B = Blue and S = sync. This signal requires four literal in-
puts to relay it to an output device.
RGsB - A three input component video signal, R = Red, G = Green with (s) sync, and B = Blue. This signal re-
quires four literal inputs to relay it to an output device.
Single Bus Controllers (SBC) - SBCs are remote controller devices used to control the input to a specified output
device.
Software Module - A software module is a chunk of software code that allows the matrix to perform specific tasks.
Strings - Basic Control Structure (BCS) commands are referred to as strings.
Switch - Any time the input/output configuration is altered, a switch is performed. Switches can be made from the
control panel or an external controller.
