A video control operator... controls the video console to regulate transmission of content—everything from test patterns to live and recorded telecasts. Video control operators view the action on set through video monitors and set switches and observe dials on the video console to control contrast, framing, brilliance, color balance, and the fidelity of the transmitted image. They monitor the program to ensure broadcast technical quality, and review the program to determine that the signal functions properly and is ready for transmission on schedule. 1, record 1, English, - video%20control%20operator

Dynamic stabilizers of the patella also control tibial rotation and patellar gliding. Thus, weakness or insufficiency of the VMO [vastus medialis obliquus] in participants with PFPS [patellofemoral pain syndrome] may contribute to abnormal lateral movement of the patella. This abnormal lateral movement may, as a compensatory mechanism, increase knee valgus and hip internal rotation and decrease knee flexion, which could influence the performance in the anterior directions of the SEBT [Star Excursion Balance Test] among those with PFPS. 1, record 6, English, - abnormal%20lateral%20movement
