Method and system for monitoring various signals in a continuous processing circuit for a single channel in a communication system

摘要

A method and system for monitoring a broadcast signal includes a transfer switch and a first receiver decoder circuit for a first channel coupled to the first transfer switch. The first receiver decoder circuit generates a first receiver decoder circuit signal. A second receiver decoder circuit for the first channel is coupled to the first transfer switch. The second receiver decoder circuit generates a second receiver decoder circuit signal. A monitoring display is formed in response to the first receiver decoder circuit signal and the second receiver decoder circuit signal for monitoring the broadcast signal.

1. A method of monitoring broadcast television signals comprising:
generating a first receiver decoder circuit signal at a first receiver decoder circuit for a first broadcast television channel; communicating the first receiver decoder circuit signal to a first transfer switch; generating a second receiver decoder circuit signal at a second receiver decoder circuit for the first broadcast television channel; communicating the second receiver decoder circuit signal to the first transfer switch; generating an output at the first transfer switch corresponding to the first receiver decoder circuit signal; after generating the output, broadcasting the first receiver decoder circuit signal; generating a monitoring display at a broadcasting system formed in response to, and simultaneously displaying, the first receiver decoder circuit signal and the second receiver decoder circuit signal; after generating the monitoring display, switching the output of the first transfer switch to the second receiver decoder circuit signal; in response to switching the output of the first transfer switch, discontinuing broadcasting the first receiver decoder circuit signal; and in response to switching the output of the first transfer switch, broadcasting the second receiver decoder circuit signal at the first receiver decoder circuit signal.
