block of HD signals and a block of SD signals within a crosspoint group.
Interleaved segments simplify configuration of repetitive, linked signal
types by alternating the input connectors. For example, red, green and blue
signals can be easily configured using an interleaved factor of three.
Logical Matrix Configuration
A Logical Matrix determines the manner in which the various components
of a Physical Matrix are controlled. It organizes the switching capabilities
of a routing matrix in a manner to suit the unique requirements of the
facility. It correlates Crosspoint Groups, Segments, and Levels.
Elements
A Logical Matrix can be subdivided into Elements, and these Elements are
mapped to specific Physical Matrix Segments. These elements are also
mapped to facility wide Levels, which brings that control mechanism out
to the user.
Sources and Destinations
Sources and Destinations are the inputs and outputs of a routing system. A
Source or Destination can be defined to be an individual electronic in or
out, or it can contain multiple signals on multiple Levels. For example, a
Source may consist of separate Digital Video and Key signals, which typi-
cally switch together, but can be separately switched if necessary. The
Sources and Destinations define the physical input and output connectors
involved, and associates them with Levels.
Rules
Rules define global, Destination-oriented attributes, that include the ability
to disable the routing of specific Sources to specific Destinations. These
rules can be applied to a single Destination or to several Destinations.
Additionally, Source and Destination exclusions can also be configured via
the Panel Server application for specific control panels.
Together, the configuration hierarchy above allows disparate hardware to
be controlled consistently and allows extensive flexibility in designing a
routing system to accomplish exactly what is needed at your facility.
