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.
IP Input Redundancy
IP Input redundancy is designed to monitor failures external to Appear TV systems that may be indicated by link loss or the absence of a bitrate.
The Appear TV chassis is configured with two IP input modules, one configured to serve as the main module, and the other as backup. In the event of input source failure, the IP input source is switched automatically.
