What is the role of the Rack Network Switch (RNS) in the VIDS system?

The Rack Network Switch (RNS) plays a crucial role in the VIDS (Video Information Distribution System) by processing and sending data to the VIDS servers. As a central networking component, the RNS is responsible for facilitating communication between various devices and servers within the system. This ensures that the data collected from different sources, such as video feeds, is effectively transmitted to the servers for processing and storage. The ability of the RNS to manage the flow of data is essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of the VIDS, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis of the information being relayed.

In contrast, other functions mentioned, like managing radar frequency, filtering video signals, or storing ATC (Air Traffic Control) information, do not align with the primary function of the Rack Network Switch within the VIDS framework. These tasks are typically handled by other specialized components or systems designed for those specific purposes.
