It is a combination of a video splitter and a sequential
switch for cameras which allows observation of four
camera pictures in real time on a monitor:
1. together as reduced B/W pictures on a quad screen
in quad splitter mode
2. successively in full screen format (B/W or in colour)
in automatic sequential switching mode with ad-
justable dwell time
