Switchers can be manual or sequencing. When using a sequencing switcher, there may be an extended delay before each video source is able to _____.

A sequencing switcher is designed to automatically switch between multiple video sources, displaying each one in a predetermined sequence. When using this type of switcher, there is typically a slight delay before each video source is able to display on the monitor. This delay allows the switcher to stabilize the video signal and ensure that the image is clear and properly processed before moving on to the next source.

This pause contributes to a smoother transition and better overall video quality, preventing issues like jerky images or momentary glitches on the screen. Understanding this functionality helps in effectively managing the viewing experience and optimizing the operation of CCTV surveillance systems.

In contrast, while reconnecting, recording, or switching off could relate to various aspects of video management, they do not inherently involve the delay characteristic seen in the display process when using a sequencing switcher.
