The following terms are used throughout this guide:
Breakaway — an act of performing a switch on only some of the signals grouped together under one label.
Connection Point — setting to define a communication connection between an NK-VRC and a device in the
routing system.
Crosspoint — a switch within a matrix. For example, the connection of signal IN 1 to OUT 1 requires one
crosspoint.
Destination — a label applied to a router output (or group of outputs).
Hard Panel — a physical hardware panel of buttons that is used to control the routing system.
IP Address — a setting that defines the Internet protocol address of a device within a network.
Label — text that is used by control displays to identify a signal as an input or output.
Level — refers to a section of a routing system. For example, a video router would be one level and an audio router
would be a second level.
Logical (virtual) Label — a name for a group of routing system inputs or outputs.
Logical (virtual) Routing — the action of switching a group of otherwise unrelated signals via a common label
(name).
Macro — a recorded sequence of Remote Control Panel operations (local to the panel).
Map — a table that defines the allocation of names (labels) to router input and output sockets.
Matrix — the part of the routing system that performs the actual signal switching tasks.
Partition — matrices may be partitioned to behave as smaller independent matrices.
Remote Control Panel (RCP) — a physical hardware panel of buttons that is used to control the routing system.
Salvo — a system wide sequence of matrix control operations and crosspoint actions.
Soft Panel — a DashBoard interface that represents a panel of buttons that is used to control the routing system.
Source — a label applied to a router input (or group of inputs).
T-Bus — the Ross Video proprietary routing communication method via a defined physical interface.
