Abstract
Disclosed is a video recording apparatus capable of performing long-recording at higher density and certainly associating the video data with additional data. Video images from a plurality of video camerasare captured by a multiplexerwhile sequentially being switched. A frame compositing unitforms reduced video images by reducing the captured video images and generates a composite video image by displaying the reduced video images on divided parts. A CPUgenerates additional data related to the reduced video image on each divided part and records the composite video image and additional data onto the same video cassette tapewhile maintaining the correspondence between each reduced video image and additional data. By recording video images from the plurality of video cameras at higher density, long-recording can be realized. By using the additional data, a desired reduced video image can be retrieved from the recorded composite video image and the retrieved reduced video image can be analyzed.
