Y
Y line
In Jupiter systems, term relating to editing
environment where some VTRs can act as
controllers or tributaries. These can be con-
nected with a “Y” cable to two switcher
ports– one for use when the VTR is a control-
ler, the other when the VTR is used as a trib-
utary. If the VTR is operated only as a
controller, or only as a tributary, then a “Y”
cable will not be needed.
