Systems and methods for causing a stunt switcher to run a snipe-overlay DVE
First Claim
1. A method for use in a system having a stunt switcher, the method comprising:
- selecting a first log-entry from a traffic log, wherein the first log-entry corresponds to an overlay digital video effect (DVE) stored in the stunt switcher, to a first video, and to a start time;
selecting a second log-entry from the traffic log, wherein the second log-entry corresponds to a second video and the start time;
causing the second video to start being channeled through the stunt switcher proximate the start time;
making a determination that a threshold time-period has passed since the start time; and
responsive to making the determination that the threshold time-period has passed since the start time, (i) causing the first video to be sent to the stunt switcher, and (ii) causing the stunt switcher to run the stored overlay DVE.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for causing a stunt switcher to run a snipe-overlay video effect (DVE). An example method involves (i) selecting a first log-entry from a traffic log, the first log-entry corresponding to a snipe-overlay DVE, to a snipe video, and to a start time; (ii) selecting a second log-entry from the traffic log, the second log-entry corresponding to a video component (VC) and the start time; (iii) causing the VC to start being channeled through the stunt switcher proximate the start time; (iv) making a determination that a threshold time-period has passed since the start time; and (v) responsive to making the determination (a) causing the snipe video to be sent to the stunt switcher, and (b) causing the stunt switcher to run the snipe-overlay DVE, thereby overlaying the snipe video on the VC as the VC is being channeled through the stunt switcher.

19. A system comprising:
-
a stunt switcher; and an automation system having a computer-readable medium including a set of program instructions, that when executed by the automation system, cause the automation system to perform a set of functions comprising; selecting a first log-entry from a traffic log, wherein the first log-entry corresponds to an overlay digital video effect (DVE) stored in the stunt switcher, to a first video, and to a start time; selecting a second log-entry from the traffic log, wherein the second log-entry corresponds to a second video and the start time; causing the second video to start being channeled through the stunt switcher proximate the start time; making a determination that a threshold time-period has passed since the start time; and responsive to making the determination that the threshold time-period has passed since the start time, (i) causing the first video to be sent to the stunt switcher, and (ii) causing the stunt switcher to run the stored overlay DVE. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)

23. A method for use in a system having a stunt switcher, the method comprising:
-
selecting a first log-entry from a traffic log, wherein the first log-entry corresponds to a first video and to a first start-time; selecting a second log-entry from the traffic log, wherein the second log-entry corresponds to an overlay digital video effect (DVE) stored in the stunt switcher, to a second video, and to a second start-time; causing the first video to start being channeled through the stunt switcher proximate the first start-time; making a determination that a threshold time-period remains before the second start-time; and responsive to making the determination that the threshold time-period remains before the second start-time, (i) causing the second video to be sent to the stunt switcher, and (ii) causing the stunt switcher to run the stored overlay DVE. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
