<p>There is provided an image switching apparatus allowing a operator to easily operate a plurality of special effect apparatuses through different interfaces by using a common operation. The image switching apparatus includes a first image output interface, a first image input interface, a second image output interface, a second image input interface, a type storage section, a routing instruction section, one or more image synthesis/switching section, a synthesis/switching operation input section, and an assignment management section which refers to the type storage section in response to an instruction from the routing instruction section and outputs the image in the image synthesis/switching section to the first image output interface as well as acquires the image from the first image input interface to input the acquired image to the image synthesis/switching section when the setting is the first path, whereas outputs the image in the image synthesis/switching section to the second image output interface as well as acquires the image from the second image input interface to input the acquired image to the image synthesis/switching section when the setting is the second path, and refers to the type storage section in response to an input image selection instruction from the synthesis/switching operation input section and selects an image to be directed to the first image output interface when the setting is the first path, whereas selects an image to be directed to the second image output interface when the setting is the second path.
