An integrated video distribution system for distributing video signals
from a plurality of sources. The system includes a digitizer arrangement
arranged to receive analog video signals from a plurality of video
sources. The analog video signals are digitized in YCrCb video format and
converted to streams of digital video data. The video data is multiplexed
and transmitted on a digital video bus having a plurality of video
channels. In one embodiment, the digitizers and video bus are integrated
with a backplane arrangement that includes expansion slots for a
plurality of terminal controllers. The expansion slots provide
connections to the video bus. Each terminal controller mounted on the
backplane arrangement can be coupled to a display terminal and an input
device. The terminal controller selects one or more of the input streams
of video data in response to control signals from the input device and
converts the selected video data to an analog video signal for output to
a display terminal.
