METHOD OF OPERATING A VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A method of operating a video/audio processing apparatus is suggested. The system comprises a plurality of processing units connected by a network including data links for communicating packetized data. According to the method input signals are selected for an audio/video production are selected. The input signals selected by a user are received, transmitted and routed to selectable destinations according to user requests. The required network resources for processing and/or routing the signals are monitored and compared with available resources. If the required network resources exceed the available network resources of the system a warning message is issued to the user. Also a processing apparatus is suggested which is adapted for executing the method.
