1 Introduction
TyLinx Pro TM is a suite of professional level tools that provides configuration, design and control of
audio/video content routing and control environments. This documentation provides an overview of
the TyLinx Pro TM solution along with detailed information concerning how to best use these tools.
1.1 Overview
TyLinx Pro TM is comprised of several software components that address the needs of the various job
functions typically found in an audio/video routing environment. These job functions are Administrator,
Designer, and Operator. The Administrator is the person responsible for installation, setup and
configuration of routing resources and has the highest level of system accessibility. The Designer is
the person who uses configured resources to create operational views for Operators. In many
installations the Administrator and Designer will be the same person(s) and in some cases all three
job functions shall be performed by one or more persons. The output of Designer activities is one or
more Operator Consoles which are used to control routing switchers and other hardware resources.
The Operator makes use of Operator Consoles to access audio/video content for staging,
presentation, broadcast, and non-linear editing.
