Abstract
A switch includes processing hardware and a memory storing software code. The software code is executed to begin receiving a first video stream from a first media source, begin forwarding the first video stream to a video receiver, begin receiving a second video stream from a second media source, receive a switch command to forward the second video stream to the video receiver instead of the first video stream, and detect, within a frame of the first video stream, a switch point in a video packet header of a video packet contained within that frame. The software code begins forwarding, in response to the switch command and at the switch point, the second video stream to the video receiver, and contemporaneously stops forwarding the first video stream to the video receiver, to provide seamless switching from the first video stream to the second video stream.
