Multi-Interface Point-To-Point Switching System (MIPPSS)

Abstract

A switching system, which delivers a plurality of different signal types including selected ones of parallel electrical signals, serial electrical signals, irrespective of voltage level and logic type, and optical signals, providing content independent point-to-point connections. The switching system is characterized as having the capability of delivering the selected signal types substantially unaltered. The elements of the switching system collectively have a relatively low latency, delay the selected signal types an amount substantially equal to the inherent delay associated with a direct-wired point-to-point connection, and provide a signal latency which is deterministic, predictable, and consistent. The switching system switches in response to a content independent software command.
