Reading a Signal Chain

Source

Where the signal originates. Microphones capture sound, cameras capture images, lighting consoles generate DMX data.

Microphone, Camera, Lighting Console

Transport

Moves the signal from point A to point B. Converts formats (analog to digital) and carries signals over distance.

Stage Box, Digital Snake, SDI Router, DMX Node

Processing

Modifies, routes, or controls the signal. Mixing, switching, scaling — where decisions are made.

Console, Video Switcher, DSP, Amplifier

Output

The final destination. Converts electrical signal into something the audience experiences — sound, images, light.

Speaker, LED Wall, Projector, Moving Light
