1. A system, comprising:
- a first communication node of a plurality of communication nodes connected with processorless central equipment, wherein the first communication node sends one or more first portions of node-output information to the processorless central equipment, and wherein the first communication node has one or more instances of a data interface and a video interface, and wherein the first communication node and the processorless central equipment communicate through employment of a time division multiplexing format; and
wherein one or more additional communication nodes of the plurality of communication nodes send one or more additional portions of node-output information to the processorless central equipment; and
wherein the first communication node receives from the processorless central equipment a portion of central-output information, and wherein the portion of central-output information comprises the one or more first portions of node-output information and the one or more additional portions of node-output information.

Abstract
A first communication node of a plurality of communication nodes connected with processorless central equipment in a system sends one or more first portions of node-output information to the processorless central equipment. One or more additional communication nodes of the plurality of communication nodes send one or more additional portions of node-output information to the processorless central equipment. The first communication node receives from the processorless central equipment a portion of central-output information. The portion of central-output information comprises the one or more first portions of node-output information and the one or more additional portions of node-output information.
