The Distribution Tab is used to define the broadband (RF) combiners and/or baseband
switchers that govern the backbone of your audio/visual distribution network. Phoenix
does not restrict the supported distribution groups that may be utilized at any facility, nor
does it restrict the interconnection topology between distribution groups, sources, and
destinations. I.e., a site may consist of only one simple distribution group or it may
consist of several that are “tiered” by interconnecting amongst themselves. An example
of the Distribution Tab is shown in Figure 3: The Distribution Tab.
