Virtual Signals

Virtual signal management is one of the key functions of the VSM system. It allows a physical router system to be expanded by the addition of virtual signals. In a typical crosspoint matrix without any external control system, only the physical I/Os of the routing system are available. To assign a camera source to a number of different destinations, multiple operational steps will be necessary. If the source changes, maybe because of a technical problem, all crosspoints relative to the current source will have to be changed. If multiple destinations are involved, such as vision mixers, tape machines, monitoring and transmission lines, the re-assignment process may be very complex. This is where the VSM system triumphs – think virtual!
