3.6 Master Control Backup
In a traditional playout chain, a small utility router is typically used as a low-cost backup for the main master control
path. Indeed, a small router is cheaper than a full Master Control switcher, and moreover, this configuration allows the
backup path to bypass not only the Master Control switcher but also the main station router. In such scenarios, it may
be useful to include a simple and low-cost logo inserter, so that the backup chain includes at least a minimum level of
branding. Having the utility router and logo inserter integrated within the same frame makes this application even
more attractive.
