Changeover Integration: Multiviewer Failover with Router Control

Changeover Integration: Multiviewer Failover with Router Control

March 8, 2025

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.
