Fast Channel Switching

Overview Fast Channel Switching is a method of rapid channel switching that is accomplished without having to make client-side changes, including starting new client connection to the server. This is achieved by having the server maintain a connection to the client while switching the channel or input stream on the back end. Channel switch requests are made by the client via an out-of-band HTTP request. After server validates the request and confirms compatibility of requested content, it will perform a switch of content on the same client connection.
