Four moves, then it runs itself.
01next
Connect
Wire your main feed and a backup into the RCA inputs. HDMI and XLR models are on the way.
02next
Monitor
It listens to the main feed for the audio signature of a commercial break.
03next
Detect
When it hears one, the AD LED lights and the relay throws to your backup. MAIN OUT follows instantly.
04loop
Return
When your programming comes back, it switches you home. Hit FUNC anytime to override.
Watch it make the call.
The device monitors the main feed, catches the commercial, switches to backup, and returns when the show is back.
Built for the signal, not the app store.
Pure hardware. It throws a relay; it does not buffer, transcode, or report you to anyone.
RCA now
One trigger, every format
Analog RCA ships first. HDMI and XLR models switch the same way, coming next.
Detection runs on the box
On-board audio detection. Nothing streams out, nothing phones home.
Source-agnostic
Cable box, over-the-air tuner, satellite receiver, games console. Anything with an RCA audio pair feeds the main input.
Manual override
One press of FUNC forces a source and lights the OVR LED. You stay in control.
Built to disappear behind your gear.
Connections
Main in, backup in, and main out across the back, with the four status LEDs and the function button.
Footprint
100 by 90 millimetres, 34 tall. It tucks under a console or behind the TV in matte black with a single blue accent.
RCA now. HDMI and XLR next.
The shipping unit switches analog stereo over RCA: main in, backup in, main out. The same detect-and-switch design is in development for HDMI and XLR.
