Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. announced an important addition to the best-selling NXG Video Delivery Platform. The NXG-IP input module will now support an input path failover for up to two Gigabit Ethernet input feeds. If an operator provides two inbound network routes containing identical SPTS programming, the NXG-IP can now automatically failover from the primary feed to the secondary feed if a loss of data is detected.

This failover is performed on a per-program basis, so this mechanism can protect against both path loss, i.e., fiber/infrastructure damage and receiver failure. This new addition to the NXG-IP module will be available as a field-upgradable firmware, with the update available now. The Blonder TongueNXG Video Delivery Platform, available in 3 and 5-RU rack chassis, offers solutions that are highly customizable, module-based IP digital video processing platforms designed for delivering next generation video services on any generation of coax, ethernet, or fiber-optic wiring - without the need for replacing existing infrastructure.
