Abstract: A method for switching between different content streams to be ingested, processed, and delivered as an output stream by a media data processing device. Each content stream is ?7 compliant and includes two identical video streams (main and backup) with identical IP packets. The switching process includes discontinuing transmission of a first of the main/backup video streams of a currently ingested first content stream, enabling transmission of a first of the main/backup video streams of a second content stream, switching from the first content stream to the second content stream, discontinuing transmission of a second one of the main/backup video streams of the first content stream, and enabling transmission of a second one of the main/backup video streams of the second video stream. For the short period of time associated with switching ?7 compliance is not maintained but no additional bandwidth is required.
