5.8.5 Hot-Swapping
The hot-swapping feature allows 24 hours console operation without an audio
interruption, even if the routing is changed and snapshots are loaded. Hot-
swapping also works if the source is currently on-air. However, the destination
channel must be inactive, otherwise channel protection is active.
Example: Routing the MIC 3 input from channel 1 to channel 7 without audio interrup-
tion.
