Automatic Changeover for Critical Program Paths

4K Clean Switch That’s Glitch-Free

The Avenue 1455 ACO is a clean and quiet protection switch for critical 4K broadcast and satellite feeds. The 1455 uses sophisticated user-programmable parameters to detect signal failure in the primary or secondary quad-link inputs. In the event of a failure, the 1455 switches seamlessly to the backup – viewers downstream will never see the switch.
