Been playing around on paper with a system that I have to work on
soon. Its going to be 21 video sources that will be routable to any of
8 tvs. There are a few different matrix switchers involved, fyi. I am
pretty sure that I am going to need 168 steppers to move each switcher
to the right position. I am just confused on the best way to trigger
each stepper.
I am going to use two different crosspoints--1 for the room and 1 for
the actual source (Thank you very much LKC, your advice is appreciated
more than you would believe) Should I just interlock the rooms and the
sources and use buffers to hit the correct stepper? It kind of feels
like a waste to go through that since I am already going to be using
crosspoints. Would analog equates using the equipment ID#s make any sense?
If I came out of the room analog equate into the enable line of 8
buffers, I could then put the 21 different sources into each of the
buffers using the analog equate outputs for the sources. So in total,
I am looking at
2 crosspoints --->
2 analog equates --->
8 buffers of 21 inputs --->
168 steppers
