The path finding
§
software option allows two or more TVS/TAS 2000, Venus, or later routing switchers to operate as a system,
where one switcher can access the other’s inputs through a number of tie lines. For example, Figure 5−171 shows a facility
with a large, central distribution switcher and a smaller switcher normally used only within the news department. By placing
both switchers under control of the Jupiter system, and by adding tie lines, the main router can access the news department’s
inputs. In this example, VT21 can be switched to output 55 of switcher “MAINROUT” with one command: the system will
first switch VT21 to one of the tie lines leading from “NEWSROUT” to “MAINROUT,” then it will switch that tie line signal
to output 55 of “MAINROUT.”
