other words, it converts the raw input from a camera into visible material in your primary live
streaming station.

➢ SWITCHER:
A switcher is the last piece of live streaming equipment
on this list. It, like an encoder, may or may not be
required. It all boils down to your needs.
A switcher, in essence, aids in the switching of various
video and audio sources, production elements, and
control graphics. (“The Ultimate Live Streaming Guide
