RM5 Component
This is a type of matrix component that is controlled using the System 5
parallel bus control protocol. The component resides within the address
space defined within the System 5 protocol. Matrices using the System 5
protocol include the RM4000, RM5000, and Lynx families of matrices.
Salvo
A collection of predefined actions taken on a router at a single time. A
salvo consists of a series of predefined switches denoted using salvo
entries.
Salvo Entry
A switch specification that is attached to a particular salvo. A control
system has a fixed number of entries which are allocated to salvos as
seen fit by the user.
Soft Key
A panel data key that is configured so that a panel user can change the
assignments made to the key. Soft keys can be set to allow the
assignment of source or destination information by the panel user.
Source
A named item (constructed using categories and indices) that corresponds
to an actual device whose video, audio, and control signals are input into
the routing matrix. A source consists of a name, number, and a maximum
of one input on any defined level of control. (A source may be configured
such that there may not be an input specified for a level of control.)
Source Numbers
A mapping of reentries and sources to numbers so that each item can be
referenced using numbers in CPU link operation. As each reentry and
source has a name, it also has a number representation. (Since reentries
are both sources and destinations, they have destination number as well.)
Source/Destination Block
A configuration item that indicates to the controller that it is not to switch
the specified source to the specified destination for any level of control.
