Audio Video Routers [Understanding the Basics]

"Destination source. This is the mantra of every audio/ video router as it takes various inputs and sends them to various outputs. But why do we use them? In this video, we’re going to be breaking them down to their basics, explaining the fundamentals, and reviewing some key terms to help us understand what they are and what makes them such a critical asset to any production facility."
In this video we discuss:
- Defining sources and destinations
- What audio video routers are
- Why they are used
- Intro to patch panels and video switches
- Defining a matrix switch and non blocking routers
- IO and router types
- Router levels
- Breakaway routes
- How routers are controlled via XY and BPS panels
- Macros and salvos
- Clean transitions vs glitch switching

It's obvious you invest a great deal of time into your script prep and writing and I'm guessing into your teleprompt prep! Your effort is NOT in vain! Excellent!

[@danielenbici1041]

Another great video. It would be great to have one that explains Tallys and GPI signal and another one about Genlock

[@johannesgasthuber3366]

Thank you, for your awesome Videos. I am currently starting my career as a Broadcast Technician in Austria (Europe). I would love to see more videos of this Kind.

[@ClaireWhiteheadIrl]

Perfect content to help with my assignment for my AV streaming technology course.

[@pratik2915]

thanks for simplified explanation ... very useful

[@Mmacdermant]

Just found you and fully intend to dive into all of your videos. Really great overview for the new broadcast professional!

[@SvartAdamSolander]

[@michaelhud1]

Great video

[@obitelsem]

Thanks!

[@solprocter-tarabanov2691]

Love, the video but is it possible to get a video on character generators (e.g. Xpression)

[@BroadcastBuddyTV]

Yes, absolutely! I will definitely make a future video covering character generators!

[@floridaland]

Great videos! With the BMD ATEM line - is that just considered a switcher in 2 parts rather than a router?

[@BroadcastBuddyTV]

Thank you!
Yes, the ATEM line falls under the switcher flag because of its MEs (mix effects) capabilities.

[@akshayajena2423]

Would you like to make a tutorial on how a video router processes and maps many sources with many different destinations at the same time through a single sdi cable connected to xy port of panacea leitch router ?

[@boardingurban]

is this about IP Productions?

[@BroadcastBuddyTV]

This is specifically about routers, but all of these concepts would apply to using an audio/ video router in an IP based transmission method (like SMPTE 2110) as well.

[@boardingurban]

@@BroadcastBuddyTV thank you for the clarification. (Do you know if IP productions have any latency?)
