multiplexed
Signals sharing pathway
Multiplexed describes a system where multiple signals or data streams share a single channel or resource.
In telecommunications, multiplexed lines carry many conversations simultaneously.
In electronics, multiplexed displays cycle rapidly through segments, appearing continuous to the eye.
The technique maximizes efficiency by time-sharing rather than dedicating separate channels: The building's security cameras were multiplexed onto a single monitor.
