ABSTRACT:
Configuring a communication arrangement that transmits video and other signal types using operational modes includes constructing a hierarchy of nodes representing the operational modes. The hierarchy also includes null nodes and a root node. Scores are collected as the nodes are traversed. The score represents a difference between the operational modes represented by the nodes along the path and desired operational modes received from a data recovery terminal. When the sum of scores collected for a set of nodes exceeds a threshold, the order of traversal is reversed. Reversing the order discards inefficient solutions and avoids dedication of system resources to evaluating such solutions. In addition, decreasing the number of paths evaluated permits more rapid determination of the operational modes best matching the desired operational modes.
