Protection Bump

Crispin enhances operational redundancy with webRPX, its browser-based playlist control interface, through a feature known as Protection Bump. This capability allows operators to seamlessly switch between two playout sources. It is particularly critical in environments where switching is embedded within the playout device, eliminating the risk of losing both playout and switching control if a device becomes unresponsive. Instead, Crispin leverages external control of a bypass router or downstream switcher to initiate a clean transition to a backup source. Protection Bump supports both manual intervention and automated failover, ensuring continuous on-air reliability and minimizing disruption.
