Abstract

A switcher device includes: a first switch unit that receives, as video data to be displayed on a display, a plurality of pieces of video data including video content corresponding to each of a plurality of cameras as input, selects one of the plurality of pieces of video data, and outputs the selected video data; a second switch unit that receives a plurality of pieces of video data obtained by capturing a video displayed on the display by the plurality of cameras as input, selects one of the plurality of pieces of video data, and outputs the selected video data; and a control unit. The control unit performs control to cause the first switch unit to execute switching of the video data in response to a trigger of video switching, and, after a predetermined switching delay time, to cause the second switch unit to execute switching to video data by the camera corresponding to the video data after switching in the first switch unit.
