Abstract: Ninety percent of editing is done with a minimum requirement for the switcher interface. The remaining 10%, however, involves the creation of complex effects and sequences, and requires not only a video switcher, but a large investment in digital video effects, graphics equipment, still stores, and title cameras. Thus an improvement in editing techniques for producing effects could make better use of several major pieces of equipment. A serial interface that allows better communication between the editor, switcher, and digital effects equipment has been developed. This interface allows the switcher to report manual operations back to the editor, dumps effects memory register contents to the editor, and permits editor control of all switcher functions. Operation of the interface and proposed new features are discussed.
