          Appeal No. 1997-2314                                                        
          Application No. 08/349,728                                                  


          mention recording video outputs from the cameras at two                     
          different speeds based upon different conditions in the                     
          airplane.                                                                   
               Gormley discloses a video surveillance security system in              
          which outputs from twelve cameras C1 through C12 are displayed              
          in twelve areas of a monitor Z1.  If activity viewed by one of              
          the cameras merits a closer look, then the system operator can              
          select that camera output as a 13th channel for viewing in the              
          larger center area of monitor Z1 via selector 25, system                    
          control 26, and video multiplexer SW1 (column 7, lines 41                   
          through 57).  The VCR 41 makes a permanent record of the                    
          monitored activity.  Appellant has not taken issue with the                 
          examiner’s conclusion that the plurality of images displayed                
          on the single screen of the monitor Z1 are multiplexed onto a               
          “single frame of a video recorder” (paper number 2, page 4).                
          Gormley does not mention recording video outputs at two                     
          different speeds based upon different conditions in the area                
          under surveillance.                                                         
               A second video surveillance security system is disclosed               
          by Cotton.  The video outputs from a plurality of cameras 20                
          are recorded by a VCR 26.  Cotton uses a multiplexing scheme                
                                          4
