    Section 1 — System Description Mixed Module Matrices The Analog Audio module has Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog converters built into the module. This allows the configuration of physical matrices that contain Analog Audio modules and Digital Audio modules. These mixed audio matrices work the same as regular matrices with all inputs available to all outputs.
  • Page 29 Controller Module Identification Vertical interval reference is required for Crosspoint switching tasks. This is an analog video input which can be NTSC or PAL. This input is processed to extract vertical sync and odd/even field (if any) information. A pre- defined programmable logic device (PLD) is used to create a switching strobe that is offset into line 10 for NTSC or line 6 for PAL.
