Redundancy Overview

Appear TV's Always-On intelligent redundancy software provides seamless integration between broadcast equipment and IP networks. Always-On is unique in being the only software solution in the IP television market to take a holistic view of operation and network management. Redundancy configurations are simplified and automated, and operational routines are significantly reduced.

Appear TV's holistic approach is built upon a single software core capable of handling failures on both inputs and outputs. Always On offers operators using IP for video distribution significant quality of service benefits and improved network efficiency. The system provides automatic backup in case of service stream failure on an operator's network, without requiring complex control software.

Internal Redundancy

The DC1000 chassis provides an advanced, self-contained, input redundancy solution. The system is based upon 1+1 redundancy of the input module, switch module and backplane. Decoders can choose to receive configuration information from either the Master MMI or, should failure occur, from the slave MMI. Switching between the redundant input and backplane will be handled individually per decoder module based on active alarms on the modules.
