Avenue 9430 Flexible Matrix Router Installation, Configuration and Operations Guide
Number of Control Points That Can Operate Simultaneously
The Router performs best with a maximum of four control points operating simultaneously. The
Router’s data bandwidth is shared across all of the control points. Each additional control point adds
an incremental load on the system. When more than four control points are being used, the Router’s
video thumbnail display performance may begin to degrade.
Asymmetrical Bandwidth Requirements
The continuous delivery of video thumbnails to each control point requires more bandwidth than
is required for performing takes. The video thumbnails, comprising the vast bulk of the data, flow
outward from the 9430 to each control point. The return data, in contrast, consists primarily of
crosspoint commands, or takes. Because the Router has greater bandwidth for takes, the execution of
takes will still be quite responsive even in a large system with markedly degraded thumbnail refresh
performance.
Best Practice: Closing Web Browser Control Points When Not In Use
To minimize the load on the Router, it is recommended to close any Web Browser Control Points that
are not being used.
