Abstract:
A method and system for airing broadcast signals is disclosed. Preferably, the system includes a production truck interface panel receiving a broadcast signal. A transmission relay circuit relays the signal from the interface panel to a broadcast network, and preferably including a broadcast signal detection circuit, and a signal processing circuit. The detection circuit determines a signal type of the broadcast signal, and the signal processing circuit processes the determined signal type. The system preferably further includes an operations control station displaying the determined type of broadcast signal. The method for airing broadcast signals over the broadcast network preferably includes the steps of providing the broadcast signal to the transmission relay circuit, detecting the broadcast signal type with the broadcast signal sensing and discerning circuit; and reconfiguring the signal processing circuit when the configuration of the signal processing circuit does not support transmission of the determined broadcast signal type.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for airing a broadcast signal over a broadcast network comprising:\n receiving a broadcast signal at a transmission relay circuit of a demarcation and equipment cabinet; determining the broadcast signal type with a broadcast signal sensing and discerning circuit of the transmission relay circuit; reconfiguring a signal processing circuit of the transmission relay circuit when the configuration of the signal processing circuit does not support transmission of the determined broadcast signal type, wherein reconfiguring the signal processing circuit comprises:\n signaling the determined broadcast signal type; \n identifying a pair of connectors of the signal processing circuit that service the determined broadcast signal type; \n using a jumper cable with the pair of signal processing circuit connectors that serve the determined broadcast signal type; \n selecting a relay, wherein the relay is communicatively coupled with the signal processing circuit configured for processing the determined broadcast signal type; \n activating the relay to connect the received broadcast signal to the signal processing circuit configured for processing the determined broadcast signal type; \n issuing one or more alerts when a change of state of the transmission relay circuit is detected; \n logging detected changes of state of the transmission relay circuit; \n generating the received broadcast signal with a broadcast signal generation circuit of the transmission relay circuit; and injecting the generated broadcast signal into the signal processing circuit.
