There are a number of boxes around the station, all feeding into the main patch bay behind the vision rack. These contain a number of different connections for routing different signals to different areas of the station.

Patch Bay

This is where all the patch boxes and a few cables feed to. This is due to the majority of patches needing to get to the vision or computing rack. With the exception of box 4, all the connectors are grouped according to their type (BNC, XLR, etc). The patches are then arranged in number order within this grouping.

Patch Boxes

There are six main patch boxes throughout the station. Each box is assigned a number from 4 to 9. Numbers 1 to 3 are reserved for some unknown reason (possibly due to the lack of cable numbers at the original install). Each connection is then given a number to give each patch a 2-digit number.

Box 4

This box is located by the edit desk. It is different from all the other boxes both in its connections and where it goes. Instead of feeding into the patch bay, it feeds to an identical box just above the patch bay. It contains 8 BNC, 4 XLR male, 4 XLR female, 1 XLR-5 female, 1 serial, 1 VGA, and 2 unknown din connectors

Box 5

This box is located by the tech room in the studio. Apart from missing two BNC (51, 52) XLR male (54, 55) connectors and a slightly different panel it is identical to Boxes 6-9. The missing BNC and XLR connectors actually go through to the tech room and arrive on long cables hanging in one conrner

Box 6

This Box is located by the monitor rack. The monitor connections do not pass through this box - it is for sending cables to the other side of the control room. Apart from its location it is identical to Boxes 7-9

Box 7-9

These boxes are located around the studio. Each box contains 6 BNC, 6 XLR female, 4 XLR male and 2 serial connectors.

HD Capacity

Using a HDSDI signal tester borrowed from TFTV on 14/05/13, all the BNC connections around the station were tested. Amazingly, only a few failed - these have been taped as broken.
