Ignite XSWITCH
Going Dark is Not an Option

Increase Redundancy, Decrease Panic

You simply can't risk a disastrous outage or mysteriously blank screen.

Stay live with the Ignite® XSWITCH—because going dark is not an option.

When you use the Grass Valley® Ignite XSWITCH Hardware Redundancy Controller, you'll increase redundancy between live news applications and computerized control systems.

Operations resume immediately with the simple press of a button, and you'll update all files to the current show state from where the failure occurred, so you can reduce the number of panic attacks sustained by your team!

Increase redundancy: With a push of a button, reroute all critical control and program signals to the monitor wall, control room speakers, and other resources shared by the two systems. You can also reroute input signals from your production devices and eliminate the need for duplicate equipment, such as VTRs.

Expand application options: When you use the XSWITCH KVM A/V and control routing system, you'll have compete control over hardware and software redundancy, so you can spend less timing worrying about points of failure and more time focusing on quality content.
