| ==General==
| |
| YSTV's cable jungle is 'maintained' regularly, usually before a show when something needs changing in a hurry. Currently, the path is incomplete, as we are waiting upon PCB manufacture for a new set of routers.The latest up to date written copy of the path can be found at <i>Docs>tech>visionpath</i>. Monitor rack connections vary rapidly according to requirements, and so are not here - sorry, but they will only add to the confusion!

|
| ==Colour scheme==
| | Following an upgrade in October 2013, the vision path in YSTV is now fully HD. |
| In order to attempt to make the path more readable, the vision path is slowly being recoloured, in the hope that someone can just look at it (with a key) and state "this must be a camera", or "this is network critical". This also has the unexpected side effect of the vision path now looking comparatively neat, almost a work of art. Anyway, the scheme has been divided into main regions: Servers, Network, Routing, Cameras, Monitor feeds. Of each colour cable, try to cycle the boot colours on a per cable basis (not different per end!). This will make for quicker visual identification of cables (good before a show!).

|
| Colour Scheme Allocations:
| | == Equipment == |
| * Red >> Network side cabling.
| | |
| ** Read means don't touch it unless you have to. Anything red is either critical control for the NetMux, or has come from the netmux, but is not going back into the main routing spaghetti.
| | The majority of the vision path is made up of two pieces of equipment. Namely: |
| * Blue >> Server Outputs. | | |
| ** Vidserv, clock, inform, VTServ. | | * [[ATEM 1 M/E | The Switcher]] |
| * Green >> Other inputs.
| | * [[Micro Videohub | The Hub]] |
| ** This will be cameras.
| | |
| * White >> Feed to monitors.
| | Everything passes through one or both of these devices at some point in its vision life |
| ** Isn't it annoying when you can't spot where that monitor feed is coming from?
| | |
| * Black >> Routing Mush.
| | === Sources === |
| ** It's going to get fiddled with, and is the majority of the path so it might as well be the most common colour. | | |
| * Purple >> RS-XX2 data. | | There are a number of sources that feed video into the video path: |
| ** It's different, and we have 300m spare! | | |
| * Orange >> Computer Network data.
| | * [[Sony HVR-HD1000E | Camera's]] |
| ** Easy to spot the odd one out now!
| | * [[Computing:PiVT | PiVT server]] |
| | * [[Computing:Video Server | Video Playout Server]] |
| | * [[Computing:Ystvstrmre | Stream Reciever]] |
| | |
| | [[Computing:Graphics PC | Graphics PC]] is fed directly into the ATEM via HDMI. |
| | |
| | === Sinks === |
| | |
| | There are two places that video can be fed to - an input on Vidsrv and the capture card on [[Computing:Stream Encode Server | Strm0]] |
