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:
