Abstract
A video production apparatus advantageously includes at least one embedded multi-previewer () that receives at least some of a plurality video signals generated by one or more elements in the switcher, such as a mix-effects engine (). The multi-previewer generates an output signal which when displayed yields of mosaic of images, each representative of a respective input signal. In this way, an operator can observe, via a single video monitor, the status of multiple video signals, thus obviating the need for multiple device outputs, multiple monitors, and associated cabling.
