Crystal Vision’s clean switch uses two framestore synchronizers and loss of reference protection to keep broadcasters on air

Safe Switch 3GCrystal Vision’s Safe Switch 3G provides clean and intelligent 2 x 2 switching between two 3Gb/s, HD or SD sources containing up to four groups of embedded audio and is the only way to guarantee a clean switch.

Available in two versions – as Safe Switch 3G and Safe Switch-L 3G – it provides a robust, one-board more
