Digital video recorder with several video sources and multiplexer for such a digital video recorder

摘要

A digital video recorder has an analog source (12) and at least a digital source (14). The analog source is encoded by an encoder (16). A multiplexer (18) is connected to both the encoder (16) and the digital source (14). The multiplexer (18) is also connected to a medium interface (20) for recording and reading on a medium and to a digital decoder (22) linked to a display (25). This construction allows the video recorder to record and monitor independently any of the sources (12, 14).
