Claim:
1. A head station comprising: at least two identical processing units, which are each supplied with at least one identical input datastream and generate an output datastream; an output bus system connected to the at least two identical processing units for an exchange of output datastreams and status data generated in the at least two identical processing units respectively; at least one decision circuit connected to the output bus system in order to select the output datastream in each processing unit to be transmitted respectively to a transmitter system, and a synchronisation unit for synchronous transmission of the output datastream selected by each processing unit and to be transmitted to the transmitter system, wherein transmission of the output datastreams to be transmitted synchronously to the transmitter system takes place delayed by a transmission time of output data frames of the output datastreams, and wherein the selection of the output datastream to be transmitted respectively from each processing unit to the transmitter system is implemented at transitions between respectively successive data frames of the output datastreams to be transmitted synchronously.
