Trigger signal output device, trigger signal output method, broadcast master system, and program

摘要

To provide a trigger signal output device, a trigger signal output method, and a program capable of outputting a trigger signal as an alternative to an inter-station control signal at arbitrary timing, and a broadcast master system (VTP) built in a virtualized environment, which is capable of self-generating such a trigger signal.SOLUTION: A trigger signal output device that outputs a trigger signal that is an alternative to an inter-station control signal at an arbitrary timing includes a timing giving unit for giving timing of output of a trigger signal and a signal output unit that outputs a trigger signal to a designated target device according to the given timing.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
