OmniStream decoders have the ability to identify missing streams, should an input be disconnected from the
encoder, and will recover the image almost instantaneously. The decoder can access the same stream from two
separate multicast addresses and switch between them, when necessary.

Switching time will be dependent upon the network switch that is used, as well as the number of hops between
encoders and decoders on the network.
Options button
Mode
Description
Off
Redundancy off; output will never switch to the backup stream.
Join Active
The decoder sends a join request only when the primary stream is lost or if the decoder is
manually switched to the backup stream. Switch time will not exceed 5 seconds.*
Join Always
The decoder joins both the Primary and Backup stream at the same time. Switch time will
not exceed 0.5 seconds.
