signals input from the two cameras may result. When
the phase shift is of a significant magnitude, you can
detect it as a picture discontinuity on the LCD monitor
at the switch between the signals from the two
cameras.

cameras, adjust the phase of the output video signal
from one of the two cameras as follows.
