MODULAR AND SCALABLE DIGITAL MULTIMEDIA MIXER

摘要

A modular multimedia platform includes a chassis into which a variety of modular input/output units, referred to as ports, may be inserted. The units may acquire an input signal and convert it to high precision digital information, or convert a digital signal to an analog signal and output the analog signal (or digital output may be provided). Multiple chassis can be connected together to increase the number of ports. A tag unit may be attached to any device coupled to a port. Each tag has a unique identification number to uniquely identify the device to which it is attached.
