This enhancement transforms Multiviewer from a monitoring tool into an active decision-making and switching system, ensuring uninterrupted broadcast delivery even in case of signal degradation or loss.
Key Capabilities
- Automated failover switching based on signal conditions such as video loss, black frames, freeze, audio loss, or overload
- Priority-based source selection with configurable monitoring windows and alert conditions
- Hysteresis logic to ensure stable switching and avoid rapid toggling between sources
- Direct SDI router control — trigger crosspoints automatically when failover conditions are met
- Integration with Changeover module for seamless on-air redundancy workflows
- User-defined actions per monitored window, enabling flexible response scenarios
- Manual override & control for operator-driven switching when needed
- Real-time status indication of selected «best source» within the Multiviewer interface
Operational Benefits
- Increased reliability through automated redundancy handling
- Faster response to signal issues without operator intervention
- Centralized control of monitoring and switching in a single interface
- Reduced risk of on-air disruptions in live production environments
This feature enables broadcasters to implement intelligent, automated failover strategies, tightly integrated with existing routing systems and live production workflows.
