Frame recording and field recording
With frame recording, the image of one camera is recorded in two fields, and after leaving a fixed interval, the image of the next camera is recorded. With field recording, the image of one camera is recorded in one field, and after leaving half of the interval for frame recording, the image of the next camera is recorded. The gaps between the recorded images are shorter which enables the cameras to be switched in half the time taken by frame recording.
Example where cameras 1 to 4 are connected
