PBS programming is prepared for broadcast at the Media Operations Center and then transferred to the Network Operations Center, which serves as the headend for the transmission of more than 15 satellite feeds in various HD and SD formats to support the media services provided by PBS member stations to their audiences across the country. The NEXIO server will be part of a combined HD and SD multichannel deployment similar to the SD multichannel configuration that currently serves PBS stations. In the event of a major system failure at PBS headquarters, all national programming would originate from the Disaster Recovery Site. The Harris solution at PBS also includes Platinum routers and CENTRIO multiviewers.
