Scalable multiviewer system and method for distributing data

A scalable multiviewer system comprising:

• at least one communication circuit comprising
• at least one input having a first network interface, wherein the at least one input is associated with at least one data source of a plurality of data sources;
• at least one output having a second network interface, wherein the at least one output is associated with at least one data sink;
• at least one channel interface for an inter-circuit communication channel configured to transfer data between the at least one communication circuit and at least one second communication circuit;
• and
• a processing circuit connected to the at least one input, the at least one output, and the at least one channel interface in a signal transmitting manner, wherein the processing circuit is configured to:
• receive an input signal from the at least one input;
• and
• selectively transmit the input signal to the at least one output or to the at least one channel interface based on at least one preset communication parameter,
• wherein the at least one preset communication parameter is programmable via a communication bus of the scalable multiviewer system,
• wherein the communication bus is configured to distribute a parameter adaptation request from the at least one data sink to the at least one communication circuit, wherein the parameter adaptation request corresponds to a request of a user to receive the signals from certain ones of the plurality of data sources, wherein the at least one preset communication parameter of the at least one communication circuit and/or at least one preset communication parameter of at least one second communication circuit is adapted based on the parameter adaptation request and wherein the scalable multiviewer system controls the communication circuits without a central control circuit.
