Daisy Chain Devices and Systems for Signal Switching and Distribution

摘要

The invention provides systems, devices, methods and software to daisy chain multiple individual transmitters, optionally nodes, optionally extenders, and receivers to form any sized scalable system of digital video and audio signal switching and distribution. The video audio systems are for a simpler system design, wiring, control and expansion, to accomplish signal interfacing, switching, splitting for many varied input and output requirements with a scalable pair of transmitters and receivers.

主权项

1. A digital video audio signal switching and distribution system comprising:
at least one component transmitter for signal switching and distribution, wherein each of the at least one transmitters are connected in a daisy chain series via cables if there is more than one transmitter; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving a signal from a cable from a source device or another transmitter or a node on each of the at least one transmitters; at least one interface with at least one output for relaying a signal from a cable to a receiver or a node on each of the at least one transmitters; optionally at least one node configured to receive at least one signal from any connected transmitter or daisy chain of transmitters and to output the at least one signal to any connected receiver or daisy chain of receivers; at least one component receiver for distributing signals, wherein each of the at least one receivers are connected to each other in a daisy chain series via cables if there is more than one receiver and optionally to a node if there is a node; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving signals from a cable from a transmitter or from other receivers or a node on each of the at least one receivers; at least one interface with at least one output for sending a signal from a cable to a display unit or another receiver or a node on each of the at least one receivers; and optionally, at least one display unit having an interface with at least one input for receiving a signal from a cable from a receiver.
