Remove redundant HD to SD convertors and re-cable as appropriate. Re-organise remaining card frames and remove any frames no longer required. 4. Add additional DA outputs to Jackfields for emergency bypass patching. 5. Remove redundant cabling no longer required as a part of this project. 6. Update all documentation.
