ShowSwitcher

Automated camera switching for a live production that does not have anyone spare to run the switcher.

The Problem

A multi-camera show normally needs somebody watching it the whole way through with a hand on the switcher. I do my show alone and play guitar during it, so that person does not exist.

ShowSwitcher does the switching from rules and triggers instead. It decides which camera is live, which means the show can be a one-person job without looking like one.
