Abstract
Video data streams are routed between capture nodes and display nodes connected to one another through a high-bandwidth network switch and controlled by a stream manager connected to the switch. The stream manager negotiates a highest quality stream that can be processed by both the capture node and the one or more display nodes receiving the stream and that does not exceed available bandwidth through the switch. The stream manager includes a user interface by which a user can specify which of a number of video signals is to be displayed in what position within a display wall.
