Several Ventura de-multiplexers and decoders include protection switching in their list of features, providing a multi-layered approach to ensuring signal integrity. Patented technology enables perfect protection switching of DVB-ASI and SDI video signals across any network infrastructure—IP, SONET/SDH or fiber—compensating for up to one second of differential delay at ASI rates of 160Mbps for guaranteed signal quality, zero outages, and no disruption of service.
