The "Layers" tab displays the layer/level configuration of the router. This is a "read-only" screen and

does not allow changes to the router.

Mapping

Overview

Sierra Video routers are shipped configured as “linear mapped”. That is, all levels switch at the same

time when an I/O is selected.
The term one-to-one mapping, or linear mapping, means that source 1 is assigned to physical input

connector 1, source 2 to connector 2, etc. This is the default mapping that is shipped with each Sierra

router. If one-to-one mapping is adequate, you do not need to follow the instructions in this section for

setting the mapping tables.
In non-mapped (linear mapped) Sierra routers, when a control panel or control program calls for a

connection, or “take”, from source 3 to destination 18, this means that the signal going to the physical

input connector labeled “3” is to be connected to the physical output connector labeled “18”.
Sierra Video routers offer the option of “Virtual Mapping”. In virtual-mapped Sierra routers, a mapping

table stands between the control panel “take” request, and the physical connectors that are switched.

Its purpose is to give the user more flexibility in the way signals are connected to the router, and the

way numbers are assigned to the signals by the router.
