Switchboard puts the blue slate on air

Field notes

The prototype exposes its editorial machinery rather than hiding it behind a finished broadcast interface. Its public ruling concerns a spectator obscuring roughly 70% of a basketball frame and invokes the clause “visual.not-the-event”; the page says the footage cannot be republished. Reported tests include 38 correct decisions on boundary cases and a 9-minute-23-second longest publish from the open internet, while the live-venue state remains unmeasured.
