3.5.1 Operational Routing and Direct Routing
The router switches sources to destinations. The router has pre-defined and user-defined
sources. A video channel (selected from video inputs) and audio input channels (selected
from embedded audio inputs or from MADI audio inputs) are grouped together (associated) to
form defined sources. These source associations are used when normally operating the
router. This operational routing is sometimes called ‘routing by association’; it controls both
the video and audio crosspoints together in unison.
Operational routing can be done via the Vega 30 unit’s Web interface, from RollCall Control
Panel and via other control interfaces.
Control of the routing can also be done directly on each video or audio crosspoint switch
separately; this is direct routing. There is ‘direct video’ routing and ‘direct audio’ routing.
Direct routing is not available on the unit’s Web interface.
Figure 5 shows the levels of control over the router for operational routing and for direct
routing.
