Claim 9:
10. A method of simultaneously routing video signals in a video-switching system in an audio video receiver (AVR) console, comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving a plurality of video streams from a plurality of digital media sources at a plurality of multimedia interface connection inputs in the AVR console;
(b) initializing and directly controlling operation of one or more of a plurality of first transceivers on one or more circuit boards in the AVR console to selectively route some or all of the plurality of video streams received at the multimedia interface connection inputs to one or more of a plurality of second transceivers on the one or more circuit boards in the AVR console using a controller on the one or more circuit boards to selectively enable the inputs and the outputs of the first transceivers; and
(c) initializing and directly controlling operation of the one or more of the plurality of second transceivers to selectively route some or all of the video streams received from the one or more of the plurality of first transceivers to multimedia interface connection outputs in the AVR console to be displayed on digital display devices connected to the multimedia interface connection outputs using the controller to selectively enable the inputs and the outputs of the second transceivers, such that video streams received at any of the plurality of multimedia interface connection inputs can be selectively and simultaneously routed to any of the plurality of multimedia interface connection outputs,
wherein each of the plurality of first transceivers and each of the plurality of second transceivers is an active transceiver.
