Subject: async camera switching.

       I am currently doing live videos using 2 consumer cameras and a 
Pioneer Video switcher from the Forsight 7000 system.  The switcher has
remote controll and fast swicthing capabilitys.  Well as we all know there
is a problem when we switch from camera A to cam B.  The tape slows down 
because its going back into the seach mode.  At least this is what ive been
told.  

       Question!  If When I whant to switch from A to B I invoke a vertical
sync till source B goes into its natural vert sync then let b take over will
I still get the moter slow down into search?  

       The video monitor will black out for a max of 1 frame but this is
ok, since the eye will not really see this.  

       Well if any one out there in net land has any video recorder servo
system experiance please find it your heart to help out this poor helpless
video engineer.
