From a company report on the dilapidated state of its audiovisual equipment:
La captation audiovisuelle des séances de conférence ou de formation se déroulant dans l'Amphithéâtre et l'Auditorium et leur diffusion en salle passe par l'utilisation (dans chacune des régies) d'une grille de commutation des signaux par laquelle transitent tous le signaux audiovisuels. Seule cette grille permet leur réception et leur *affectation.*
Not being very familiar with this technology, I'm not sure if the term is "assign" or something else.
Thanks for any insight!

routing
As I see it, the signals are routed through a switching matrix (I think this is the term for "grille") to their respective destinations; this is just an idea, and obviously, I remain open to correction from colleagues, hence the "low" ranking.

assignment
Looks like assign is okay.
The SB-440 includes a versatile switching matrix which allows up to ten different groups of stations to be assigned to any one of the four channels.

transmission / transmitted
I may be oversimplifying this, but since it's referring to the previously mentioned audiovisual signals it may simply be ' they (they signals) can only be received and transmitted through this grid"

: Sorry, but this really is too much of an oversimplifcation; the technical implication is more important than just that. It is a "what-goes-to-where" situation
