Recording Techniques (Cont.)
Synchronous Recording
A number of camera images can be mixed together through a
camera switcher and then recorded separately onto several
VCRs. A camera is assigned to each VCR with the VCR
recording only the camera image it has been assigned. This
allows recording without gaps.
If you have 3 VCRs, the video signal from 3 cameras can be
recorded separately by connecting the switcher as shown
below:
