What is a remote video switcher?

A Remote Video Switcher is a professional responsible for selecting and switching between multiple video sources during a live broadcast or streaming event, all while working remotely. They operate specialized software or hardware to ensure smooth transitions, add graphics, and manage live feeds from different locations.
