ABSTRACT:
A multimedia system for delivering multimedia content to customer premises equipment via a circuit of a communications network includes a plurality of servers connected to a plurality of disk systems by a switch and a local area network. The switch includes an arbiter and a plurality of switching elements connected as a crosspoint mesh. Each switching element includes one or more gates and a register connected to a first input of each gate. The arbiter can set the registers to a logical one to allow selected multimedia content to flow through the gate either from the disk systems to the servers, or from the servers to the disk systems in response to customer demands. The local area network is used to transport switching messages from the servers and the disk systems to the arbiter.
