Implementation of a Large Digital Routing System
In the design of a digital television broadcast plant there are many issues to consider such as digital format, tape format, embedded audio and future advanced image formats. The heart of any broadcast plant is the central routing and distribution system. For CBC's new Broadcast Centre in Toronto, a large, multi-matrix digital routing system was designed by a multi-disciplinary team formed from several different companies. The design incorporated a complex, custom designed control and supervisory system and CRT type custom control panels. In the absence of final digital standards, and without established test procedures for digital systems, new approaches were investigated to establish testing criteria and methodologies.
