What is a Video Multiplexer?
Video applications often require you to manage several different signal sources. A video multiplexer is a device that helps you put recordings of signals from multiple security cameras on one cassette. It handles several video signals simultaneously. Video multiplexers can split a monitor into various display areas and vice versa, i.e., combine output signals from several cameras to a single monitor. You can then record your combined signal on your VCR or wherever else you want to record. They can also provide simultaneous display and playback features. Some video multiplexers allow for remote access. They combine the best features of switchers and quads. Video multiplexers are also called muxes.
