Inputs and Outputs

The number of inputs and outputs varies dramatically. The way routers are described is normally ''number of inputs by number of outputs'' e.g. 2x1, 256x256.

Signals

The type of signals transported can be anything from analogue composite video signals PAL, NTSC. Analogue components, Digital: SDI, HD-SDI. Also Broadband routers can route more than one signal type of Digital video eg SDI and HD-SDI.

Crosspoints

Because any of the inputs can be routed to any output, the internal arrangement of the router is arranged as a number of crosspoints which can be activated to pass the corresponding signal to the desired output.
