The "Layers" tab displays the layer/level configuration of the router. This is a "read-only" screen and
does not allow changes to the router.
4.5.9.1 Mapping
Mapping
Overview
Sierra Video routers are shipped configured as “linear mapped”. That is, all levels switch at the same
time when an I/O is selected.
The term one-to-one mapping, or linear mapping, means that source 1 is assigned to physical input
connector 1, source 2 to connector 2, etc. This is the default mapping that is shipped with each Sierra
router. If one-to-one mapping is adequate, you do not need to follow the instructions in this section for
setting the mapping tables.
In non-mapped (linear mapped) Sierra routers, when a control panel or control program calls for a
connection, or “take”, from source 3 to destination 18, this means that the signal going to the physical
input connector labeled “3” is to be connected to the physical output connector labeled “18”.
Sierra Video routers offer the option of “Virtual Mapping”. In virtual-mapped Sierra routers, a mapping
table stands between the control panel “take” request, and the physical connectors that are switched.
Its purpose is to give the user more flexibility in the way signals are connected to the router, and the
way numbers are assigned to the signals by the router.
