First, a first streaming device is configured as a master streaming device and a second streaming device is configured as an auxiliary streaming device. Second, a first communication mechanism is established between a first signal output device and the master streaming device that the data is transmitted according to the first communication mechanism. Third, a second communication mechanism is established between the first streaming device and the second streaming device that the data is transmitted according to the second communication mechanism. Fourth, a signal source heartbeat packet is transmitted from the first signal output device to the master streaming device. Fifth, an audio-visual source is transmitted from the first signal output device to the master streaming device. Sixth, the master streaming device judges whether the signal source heartbeat packet is received. Seventh, the second streaming device is configured as the master streaming device and the first streaming device is configured as the auxiliary streaming device if the signal source heartbeat packet is not received by the master streaming device.
