Daktronics Introduces Live Switch, a New Video Production Switcher for High School Marketplace
Extension of Daktronics Show Control product family integrates into existing system for high school-level productions
BROOKINGS, S.D. – Apr. 24, 2025 – Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, announces the next video production switcher in its Show Control product family – Live Switch. The new solution, which is currently available, integrates directly into existing systems for high school-level productions to expand control capabilities.
“We’re excited to announce Live Switch, the latest development in Show Control, for the high school marketplace, as well as other similar-level live event productions,” said Chris Westerman, Daktronics product manager. “It provides the capability to switch up to six video sources in real time using three different switching methods – a mouse or keyboard in the Live Switch software, a control surface for a tactile experience, or by embedded software widgets within Show Control’s Display Studio – whatever fits the production team’s needs.
“Live Switch is really designed for ease of use to give operators the best option for controlling their productions and customizing the experience as they see fit.”
Live Switch give operators more control of their show by allowing them to switch between camera feeds, pre-recorded video and other video clips as needed. Producers also have the ability to highlight past plays or exciting moments with instant replays, all coming together for more engaging shows for audiences.
The solution also includes access to automatic updates to ensure users stay up-to-date with the latest integrations and advancements within the software.
