the first-selected drive “handing over” to the other when its
disc becomes full. As the disc in the other drive approaches
maximum capacity, recording will now pass to the first-selected
drive in the second machine, with fade-in, overlap and fade-out
all being observed correctly as if the third disc was in the first
machine. At the end of the third disc, recording passes to the
other drive of the second machine.
This process will continue until the system runs out of machines
and/or blank discs, or is stopped by the operator. At the end of
the second disc in the last machine, the system will look at the
first drive in the first machine. If this has been reloaded with a
blank disc, the recording will continue in that drive. If not, the
recording will end.
