Which term is the command to switch to another video source?

• A. Switch
• B. Slug
• C. Spot
• D. Sweeps Week

Answer: (A)

In a live production, switching between video sources is handled by a video switcher, which manages which input is on air. The command to move to a different video source is to switch to the chosen input, and the switcher updates the on-air feed accordingly. Slug is simply a label used in the rundown or script to identify a story or segment, not a control action. Spot refers to a short video piece like a commercial or promo, not a instruction to change sources. Sweeps Week is a designated ratings period, not a control command.
