Selecting the video source to record

You can select and record video input
at the [CAMERA1] or [CAMERA2]
connector on the rear panel of the
recorder. Also, when the action set
for the detection of trigger signals
(GPIO1 - 8) is "CAM1REC" or
"CAM2REC" and the trigger signal
is enabled, the selected video is
recorded. If prerecording is enabled
and the video source is switched by a
recording trigger, the prerecord video is
taken from the source selected before
switching, and the video is taken from
the source selected after switching. You
can select whether the video source is
switched by the recording trigger or
not, as well as selecting which video is
recorded upon switching.

amount of video source switching
while recording.
