Destination Status See: Status. Diagonal A diagnostic procedure that causes a range of physical inputs to be switched to a range of physical outputs, in a diagonal pattern starting from a specified coordinate and continuing until the either the inputs or outputs are exhausted, for a specified component, with a single command.
Page 85: Follow Switch
Tiger Video Routing Switcher Follow Switch A switch where a single source is switched to a single destination on all levels. Example: Assume the existence of a source VTR1 which is defined on levels VIDEO and AUDIO, and a destination MON1 which is defined on the same levels. VTR1 is switched to MON1 on both the VIDEO level and AUDIO level.
Page 86: Input Offset
Tiger Video Routing Switcher Input Offset In matrix space, the amount by which the origin of a component on strobe x, is offset from the origin of strobe x, measured along the input axis. The coordinates of crosspoints in matrix space are determined by the strobe they reside on, and their input and output numbers.
Page 87: Level
Tiger Video Routing Switcher Level A group of related components that are switched together. A level is sometimes referred to as a level of control and is the basic granularity seen by a user. The components which comprise a level will always be switched together except when performing diagnostic operations.
Page 88: Levels Of Control List
Tiger Video Routing Switcher Levels of Control List A named list of the levels a specific control panel is authorized to control. Multiple panels may share a levels of control list. Levels of control list names are one to eight characters in length and are constructed using uppercase letters, numbers, and spaces.
Page 89: Logical Input
Tiger Video Routing Switcher Logical Input One or more physical inputs which are switched together as a group. Logical inputs and outputs are switched level-by-level. Since each level may have more than one component, switching a single logical input or output may involve switching more than one physical input or output.
Page 90: Matrix Space
Tiger Video Routing Switcher Matrix Space A three-dimensional mathematical model of the crosspoints in a switching system. The coordinates of crosspoints in matrix space are given in the form (input,output) on strobe x. When a switching system is physically made up of only one routing switcher, the crosspoint coordinates are the same as the input and output connector numbers, and the resulting matrix space has only two dimensions.
Page 91 Tiger Video Routing Switcher Figure B Strobe numbers are used to introduce a third dimension into matrix space. Every routing switcher in a switching system is assigned to a strobe. In systems using more than one strobe (and, therefore having three-dimensional matrix space), crosspoint coordinates are given in the form (input,output) on strobe x.
