Broadcasting switchers are employed in film or video production for switching or selecting several audio and video signals coming in from different sources. Production, routing, and master control are the main types of broadcasting switchers.

The global broadcast switchers market is moderately consolidated in nature. Sony Electronics, Evertz Microsystems, Snell, Ross Video, Utah Scientific, Blackmagic Design Pty., Broadcast Pix, Grass Valley, NewTek, FOR-A Co., Panasonic Corp., and Ikegami Electronics are the major companies operating in the global broadcast switchers market.

Here’s a snapshot of the latest initiatives by major companies in the global broadcast switchers market:

• Ross Video is one of the market leaders in the global broadcast switchers market. Recently, KDLT-TV, an NBC-affiliated television station in the U.S., installed Ross Videos’ ‘Ross Carbonite +2M’ production switchers as a part of its HD rebuild project. Owing to this, analysts expect a significant hike in the market standing of Ross Video in the U.S.

In June, 2015, the company announced that it has forged a strategic partnership agreement with Sweden-based Danmon, where the latter will represent Ross Video in Sweden. As part of this agreement, Danmon will offer a complete range of live production solutions from Ross Video to customers in the Swedish broadcast switchers market. This move is likely to boost the international business of the company.
