Guide to Switcher Your Production
Video Switcher is used when you switch from one video source in your broadcast to another. With the HDMI Switcher, you can switch cleanly using professional cuts or transitions. For example, a cut will instantly change from one source to another and a transition will change sources over a defined duration often using an effect.

- Switching sources using transition
Transitions let you smoothly switch from one source to another over a defined duration. For example, a mix transition gradually fades the current source into the next until the original source is no longer visible. A wipe transition will move a line across the original source revealing another effectively wiping across the image.
