Primary and backup stream management
The primary and backup stream feature refers to the system's ability to automatically merge and output two live streams with the same Stream ID. The primary stream's content is prioritized for playback. If there are issues with the primary stream's content, you can automatically or manually switch to the backup stream content to ensure the stability of the live image.
