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==
==Colour scheme==
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!).
