Manual switching can be performed using the switch button on the Group page. When an input SDI switch is
defined the switch will first be configured, and then when the switch is ready the rest of the system will move to
the spare unit. If the switch configuration fails then the switch operation will be aborted.
Changes to encoder/transcoder parameters shall always be performed on the main device, even when this device
is switched to a spare. The system will automatically redirect any editing of the spare card to the main card when
the spare is running as a backup.
