1. A video signal switching apparatus adapted to enable a recorder to record a continuous motion video signal, the motion video signal including a series of still frame images, while at least one selected still frame image of the motion video signal is produced, the apparatus comprising:
- a first switch adapted for switching between a first position and a second position, at said first position said first switch enabling distribution of the motion video signal to the recorder such that the motion video signal can be recorded by the recorder, at said first position said first switch enabling distribution of still frame images to memory;
said memory being operable to store still frame images; and
a processor coupled to said memory and operable therewith to retrieve still frame images from said memory, the still frame images being retrieved from said memory without interrupting continuous recording of the motion video signal by the recorder.

Abstract
A multifunction remote controlled video recording, transmission and playback system includes a still frame generator adapted for selecting and generating still frames on the fly while a full motion video signal is being recorded, without interrupting the recording function. Audio and data signals, such as cockpit audio in an aircraft and gps and telemetry signals may also be incorporated in the recorded full motion video recording on a real time synchronized basis. The still frames are digitally enhanced, producing a full field frame from the analog video signal. Still frames can be produced in single, burst and snap modes without interrupting the full motion video recording function.

2. A video signal switching apparatus adapted to enable a player to play a continuous motion video signal, the motion video signal including a series of still frame images, while at least one selected still frame image of the motion video signal is produced, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first switch adapted for switching between a first position and a second position, at said first position said first switch enabling distribution of the motion video signal to the player such that the motion video signal can be played by the player, at said first position said first switch enabling distribution of still frame images to memory; said memory being operable to store still frame images; and a processor coupled to said memory and operable therewith to retrieve still frame images from said memory, the still frame images being retrieved from said memory without interrupting continuous play of the motion video signal by the player.

3. A video signal switching apparatus adapted to enable at least one of a recorder and player respectively to record or play a continuous motion video signal, the motion video signal including a series of still frame images, while at least one selected still frame image of the motion video signal is produced, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first switch responsive to commands from a processor, the first switch being adapted for switching between a first position and a second position, at said first position said first switch enabling distribution of the motion video signal to the at least one of a recorder and player such that the motion video signal cart be respectively recorded or played by the at least one of a recorder and player, at said first position said first switch enabling distribution of still frame images to memory; said memory being operable to store still frame images; and the processor being coupled to said memory and operable therewith to retrieve still frame images from said memory, the still frame images being retrieved from said memory without interrupting continuous recording or play of the motion video signal by the respective at least one of a recorder and player.
