within this glossary.
10/100BaseT
ETHERNET configuration that uses twisted
pair wiring (typically Cat 5 UTP un-shielded
twisted pair cable with RJ45 8-pin connec-
tors) to transmit data up to 100 Mbps.

AES3-1992
AES Recommended Practice for Digital Au-
dio Engineering -- Serial transmission format
for two-channel linearly represented digital
audio data.
AES11
AES Recommended Practice for digital au-
dio engineering -- Synchronization of digital
audio equipment in studio operations.
AFV
Audio-Follow-Video. Normal operation of a
distribution switcher where selection of a
video source automatically selects audio
from that source. Example: selection of VTR1
video automatically selects VTR1 Audio 1
and VTR1 Audio 2 as well.
Alta
Project name for Maestro Master Control
Switcher.
audio modes
In Jupiter systems, special stereo switching
modes, e.g., left-only, right-only, mix, and re-
verse.
B
breakaway
Independent operation of a switcher level.
Contrasts with normal AFV operation. Ex-
ample: selecting video from VTR1 but audio
from Announce Booth 2. A “breakaway”
typically refers to an operation performed
dynamically, using control panel buttons.
Compare to
SPLIT .
bus
In matrix routers, a channel leading to an
output or destination. Example: “controls 20
buses” means being able to select sources for
20 destinations.
button-per-input/output control panel
Buttons are dedicated to a particular source
or destination. As opposed to
CATEGORY /
NUMBER control.
C
category/number selection method
Operator first picks category (example:
VTR); then unit within category.
chop
Rapid, back-and-forth switching between
two inputs.
