Abstract: The invention relates to a distribution device (2) in a data signal processing installation (1), and a data signal processing installation (1). Said distribution device comprises a distribution block (3) which has a receiving device containing functional elements to which data signal lines (4, 5, 6) can be connected, said functional elements having a circuit to distribute signals transmitted by the data signal lines (4, 5, 6). The distribution device also comprises a data signal editing unit with active and/or passive electronic components, in which the data signals transmitted from the data signal lines (3, 4, 5) are edited in a pre-determined manner. The data signal editing unit is integrated into the components of the distribution block (3).
