Crosspoints Page
Routers switch input signals to selected outputs. The actual connection of an input to an output
occurs in the router’s crosspoint matrix. Every output
— whether video, audio, or other — in a
router can be viewed in the ‘Crosspoints’ page:
Using the ‘Crosspoints’ page, you can view, test, and update crosspoint connections. Making a
crosspoint connection is called performing a take. Within a router, a take occurs when an input is
switched to an output.
Note: in the ‘Crosspoints’ page, inputs are called sources and outputs are called destinations.
Please do not confuse these terms with the sources and destinations of the NV9000 router
control system.
The ‘Crosspoints’ page has two regions. The upper region is a work area. The lower region is the
‘Network Frame Summary’ which contains a ‘Control Cards’ table. Use the ‘Control Cards’ table
to select a control card of the router for which you want to view or test crosspoints.
