4.14.2 Fail-Safe on 5016G & 5032G
While the workstation is very reliable, if it should ever lock up sources stay on-air,
thanks to a redundant fail-safe RS-232 connection between the control panel and
router. Cameras and tape machines can still be switched while the workstation
recovers.
Redundant control panels can take over if any one panel stops, see section 8.
Redundant power is standard for the control panel, router and workstation.
4.14.2
Selecting the Fail Safe Device:
The fail-safe device is the camera, VTR or other external source that you would like the
system to automatically select if there is ever a failure to the workstation or network.
The Fail-Safe Device is show specific so that different shows may specify different fail
safe sources.
To set the Fail-Safe Device, see section 3.7.2
