1. A system, comprising:
a routing signal generator configured to:
receive input control signals;
generate, based at least on the received input control signals:
output control signals;
primary routing signals;
secondary routing signals; and
secondary AV processing signals; and
provide:
the output control signals;
the primary routing signals to a router module;
the secondary routing signals to the router module; and
the secondary audio and/or video processing signals to an AV processor module;
the router module configured to:
receive:
input information;
input audio and/or video signals;
primary routing signals from the routing signal generator;
secondary rounting signals from the routing signal generator; and
processed audio and/or video signals from the AV processor module;
generate, based at least on the received input information, input audio and/or video signals, primary routing signals, secondary rounting signals, and processed audio and/or video signals:
primary output audio and/or video signals;
secondary output audio and/or video signals; and
output information; and
provide:
the primary output audio and/or video signals;
the secondary output audio and/or video signals; and
the output information; and
the AV processor module, configured to:
receive:
the input audio and/or video signals; and
the secondary AV processing signals from the routing signal generator;
generate, based at least on the received input audio and/or video signals and the secondary AV processing signals:
processed audio and/or video signals by compressing the received input audio and/or video signals; and
provide:
the processed audio and/or video signals to the router module;
wherein the secondary output audio and/or video signals are a lower quality than the primary output audio and/or video signals; and
wherein the router module provides primary output audio and/or video signals to a first meeting participant and provides secondary output audio and/or video signals to a second meeting participant based at least on the received input control signals.
