The Need for Hitless Protection Switching
While being hitless isn’t a path to success for baseball batters (or aspiring rock stars), hitless signals are another thing entirely. Smooth, uninterrupted video and audio streams provide the best possible viewing and listening experiences. Live television broadcasts are very demanding environments for signal transmission and broadcasters have long been interested in technologies that can reduce or eliminate the number and intensity of signal disruptions.
