The ACO6800+ switchover module is designed for the 6800+ core processing platform and provides both the primary and backup paths critical to maintaining uninterrupted video and audio signal flow.
Multiple versions of the ACO6800+ are offered to suit the varied redundancy needs of broadcast and production facilities, OB trucks, satellite operators, cable headends, and mobile TV and IPTV operations.
The ACO6800+ is available as a single- or dual-channel module that provides switchover capabilities from the primary to the backup path in the event of a signal failure. In addition to the basic switchover module, the ACO6800+ is also available as an intelligent Q-SEE-compliant module that monitors video, audio and metadata at ingest checks levels for consistency and scans for errors.
These intelligent ACO modules allow for the setting of customizable parameters for each level being monitored and perform an automatic switchover when any level changes or disruptions are detected.
