Operating switching systems is a primary function of a live event video technician. Cutting cameras or switching between various sources on numerous screens is handled in several different ways. Broadcast production switchers have been around quite a while and are a familiar interface. Multi-screen management systems have only been around for a few decades or so.

This chapter hopes to explain the advantages and use cases for the main equipment used to switch visuals.
