System Size

The routing-system software supports from 1 to 31 Base Devices, 4,096 inputs, and 4,096 outputs. This allows systems to be created that cover all possible applications — from simple format converters in a studio, to fully networked broadcasting complexes and even entire exhibition-centre networks.
The optimum network structure and the number of required fibre-optic connections are determined during the planning stage. For example, the network structure depends on the physical position of the Base Devices and on the routing capacity.
Even with large-scale routing systems, total interconnectivity of overall system inputs and outputs (the so-called »unlimited simultaneousness«) can be achieved using a reasonable number of Base Devices and fibre-optic connections.

Potential for Economies

Less costly solutions are achieved by limiting the number of simultaneous connections or by performing a structural optimization for the main distribution channels. When planning a NEXUS network, the first step is an analysis of how many routes might be required at the same time.
A precise investigation of the actual routing volume will reveal the requirements. This usually offers considerable potential for economies. A NEXUS network can be designed that is not only cost-effective but also highly efficient and optimally utilized.
Thanks to the modular NEXUS concept, subsequent additions can be made at any time.
