1.2.1 Video Section Overview
The AVM video switching section is entirely transparent; i.e. no processing or alteration of any kind takes
place when video signals pass through the AVM.
Different video input types require different numbers of I/O connectors; e.g. composite video uses a single
connector for all video and sync signals, while RGBHV video uses five connectors per source. The standard
AVM models can switch up to 8-16 video inputs of the following types:
1.2.2 AV Groups
The AVM handles all video inputs and outputs as AV groups. This means that all components of a video
input or output are defined as members of an AV group. This enables the AVM to switch sources as a single
object with single commands. For example, a VCR might consist of a single composite video input, a left
audio source, and a right audio source. An RGBHV video source with stereo audio would have seven
signals in its group. Note that all video inputs will be assigned to a group; i.e. even a single composite input
with no audio will be assigned a group number.
There are 48 input groups and 48 output groups. Each contains the groups video type and an audio type
(mono, stereo, or none). To route an input group to an output group the two groups must have compatible
video and audio types; e.g. you cannot route an input group with video type RGB to an output group with
type composite, nor an input group with stereo audio to an output group with no audio.
All grouping is handled automatically by the AVM setup software when you configure your application. It is
not possible to define AV groups outside of the AVM setup software.
