Claim Text:
1. A method for digital video audio signal switching and distribution comprising: providing at least one local input signal wherein the signal path flows from the video audio devices into and through a scalable daisy chain of the transmitter and receivers; converting each input signal into a daisy chain signal format using encoder circuits on the circuit board of each of the transmitter or transmitters; optionally selecting between the more than one signals with a switcher, configured on the circuit board of each transmitter; inserting input signals into the signal path, wherein a daisy chain processor configured on the circuit board of the transmitter inserts signals into the signal path to flow through the transmitter or chain of transmitters; transmitting the inserted signal by linking at least one of the transmitters to a receiver or a daisy chained connected series of receivers, wherein the signal path flows from an individual transmitter to an individual receiver and then through the chain of receivers; and extracting signals for display on a display device wherein a daisy chain processor configured on a circuit board of the receiver that extracts selected signals; converting the extracted signals to at least one signal format which can be shown on a display unit by decoder circuits on the circuit board of each receiver; and displaying the signals from the receivers on at least one display unit.
