Abstract: An audio/video distribution system that is cost-effective, highly flexible, and capable of being used over an extended area and without the need for a centralized switching and distribution mechanism. The audio/video distribution system includes a distribution bus, at least one audio/video transmitter, at least one receiver, and a digital director. The transmitter is configured to receive signals from at least one audio/video source while the receiver is connected to the distribution bus and configured to receive signals from the distribution bus. The digital director is connected to the distribution bus and configured to control the transmitter and receiver.
