Abstract: The concept of the Edit Suite Audio Mixer, or ESAM, was first introduced in 1983. Its purpose was to allow audio to be edited simultaneously with, and in the same way as, video. Although fulfilling its desired role, at the Olympic Games in the winter of 1984, the controlling protocol was a hasty adaptation of the editor's existing video switcher control protocol. Since then, Graham-Patten Systems has, with cooperation from editing system and audio console manufacturers, developed the ESAM SERIAL II protocol, designed specifically for controlling audio mixers in the video post production environment. Because of its eminent suitability for editing, and its ease of implementation, the protocol has become widely established.
