Instead of one large routing switcher, there are often 2 separate routing switchers.  One handling 4:2:2,
and the other 4fsc.  The output of the 4:2:2 would cascade through the 4:2:2 to 4fsc converters, and on to

the inputs of the 4fsc routing switcher.  The opposite configuration would be set up for going from 4fsc to
4:2:2.

What is done here is that groups of inputs are combined in a Source Name group, along with groups of

outputs known as Destination Name groups.  Net (Path) Groups are then created, each one being a list of
routing switcher outs to routing switcher in’s to be used.

When a input in a source group is selected, or an output in a destination group, the routing switcher looks
at successive paths (their order as entered in each path group) until it finds an unused one.

n
Each Source, Destination, and Net group can have up to 4 entries in it.
There can be a total of 20 Source, and 20 Destination groups.

There can be up to 40 Net groups.

Each Source and Destination group are tied together by 1 Net group.
Up to 3 routing switchers, or 2 recursive paths into 1 routing switcher can be supported.
