With this approach, you need the control terminal connected to the primary routing switcher, or a control
panel that allows access to individual “levels”, like the BKS-R1607, BKS-R1608, BKS-R3209 or BKS-
R3210 to control only one level of VTR001 routing.
Figure 4 shows this approach.

The second approach is “virtual mapping”. There are sources that don’t logically follow one another,
looking at figure 4, you can see that News 1, and DAT 2 on the source side, Satellite 1, and DAT 1 on the
destination side are just 2 of many that wouldn’t normally be switched together. In this case the approach
shown in figure 5 could be used.
