SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING VIDEO INPUTS

摘要

A system and method for monitoring video inputs into a video matrix may be provided including an expandable video switching matrix having a first number of inputs and a first number of outputs. The matrix may include a first crosspoint matrix switch having a second number of inputs and a second number of outputs, and a second crosspoint matrix switch having a third number of inputs and a third number of outputs. The first and second crosspoint matrix switches may be interconnected such that the first number of inputs is equal to the sum of the second number of inputs and the third number inputs, and the first number of outputs may be equal to or less than the second number of outputs. In one embodiment, a plurality of the second number of outputs may be dedicated for interconnection with inputs associated with at least a second video switching matrix.
