Topic: Vision mixer


  
  Vision mixer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A vision mixer (also called video switcher or production switcher) is a device used to select between several different video sources and in some cases composite (mix) video sources together and add special effects.
Vision mixer and video mixer are almost exclusively European terms to describe both the equipment and operators.
Since vision mixers combine various video signals such as VTRs and video cameras, it is very important that all these sources are properly synchronized.
