FEATURES
The WJ-FS216 Video Multiplexer is designed to pick up
the field signals from video cameras and record the
camera images on a time lapse VCH. Up to 16 cameras
(black & white or color cameras) can be connected to
the WJ-FS216 regardless of whether the camera signals
are synchronized or not.
The functions of the two available modes, MULTIPLEX
and MULTISCR, are as follows:
e MULTIPLEX mode
1. Monitoring sequential or single (spot) pictures and
simultaneously recording them on the time lapse
VCR.

lapse VCR and displaying it as a single (spot) or
multt picture (quad, 3x3, or 4x4) by simply pushing
the camera selection button.
The Quad Shift function allows you to shift between
up to four quad pictures (each consisting of 4 pic-
tures).

monitored pictures, and single spot pictures can be
zoomed up to twofold.
