Abstract: A switcher control device includes: a superimposition determining unit that determines whether a superimposition image is superimposed on an image taken by a camera based on angle information and zoom value information about the camera in selecting a camera image when an effects switcher selects the image taken by the camera as a background image; and a switcher instructing unit that instructs the effects switcher to superimpose the superimposition image based on a determined result of the superimposition determining unit.

Abstract: A broadcast programming delivery apparatus includes: a broadcast programming delivery control unit that controls broadcast programming delivery based on a broadcast programming delivery program formed of a plurality of items; and a switcher being controlled by the control unit, and a plurality of output channels of a material server having the plurality of output channels for outputting a video material being connected to predetermined input lines of the switcher, wherein the items include control data of the switcher having information for specifying a video material of the material server, and the control unit receives, from the material server, channel material information indicating a video material outputted from each of the output channels, and allows an input bus of the switcher necessary to take an input of a video material to select one of the input lines corresponding to the output channel from which the corresponding video material is outputted.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image switching apparatus allowing a operator to easily operate a plurality of special effect apparatuses through different interfaces by using a common operation.

Abstract: An image synthesizing apparatus is provided. The image synthesizing apparatus includes: a key image selector, a background selector, a key processor, an image synthesizer, a frame memory, a part designator, and a writing device. In the image synthesizing apparatus, the image signal that has been selected by the key image selector is sent to the key processor, the image signal that has been processed by the key processor is sent to the writing device and written into the frame memory, and image signals read from every storage region of the frame memory are sent to the image synthesizer.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image switching apparatus allowing a operator to easily operate a plurality of special effect apparatuses through different interfaces by using a common operation.

Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus enabling reuse by a previously used internal configuration, provided with a storage device for storing the states of all or part of the intersections of a matrix switch to the output side of which inputs of video signal processing units and video signal output channels are connected and an intersection reproducing device for setting intersections of the matrix switch in accordance with the content of the storage device. When using current settings of the matrix switch, the current settings are stored in the storage device. When it is desired to reuse the apparatus after using it in different settings, the intersection reproducing device is activated. Therefore, an operator no longer has to repeat an operation for setting each and every intersection and can obtain the desired settings by activating the intersection reproducing device.

Abstract: A maintenance support system for an electronic apparatus, having an electronic processing system including an electronic apparatus and a remote management system connected to each electronic processing system. Each electronic processing system includes a system for transmitting information of the connection of the electronic apparatus, transmitting information concerning setting of the electronic apparatus, and transmitting information notifying occurrence of a problem of the electronic apparatus to the remote management system.

Abstract: A maintenance support system for an electronic apparatus, having an electronic processing system including an electronic apparatus and a remote management system connected to each electronic processing system, wherein each electronic processing system comprises a means for transmitting information of the connection of the electronic apparatus, information concerning setting of the electronic apparatus, and information notifying occurrence of a trouble of the electronic apparatus to the remote management system, and the remote management system comprises a means for reporting the notification in the remote management system when receiving the notification, a means for configuring a reproduction electronic apparatus having substantially the same connection, setting as the connection and setting of the electronic apparatus in the remote management system, and a means for reproducing on the reproduction electronic apparatus the state when the trouble occurred by executing the same operation as the operation of th

Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus enabling reuse by a previously used internal configuration, provided with a storage means for storing the states of all or part of the intersections of a matrix switch to the outside side of which inputs of video signal processing units and video signal output channels are connected and an intersection reproducing means for setting intersections of the matrix switch in accordance with the content of the storage means. When later using current settings of the matrix switch, the current settings are stored in the storage means. When desiring to reuse the apparatus by the stored settings after using it by different settings, the intersection reproducing means is activated. Due to this, an operator no longer has to repeat an operation for setting each and every intersection and can obtain the desired settings by just activating the intersection reproducing means.
