Nope.  A quad does that, but a true multiplexor sends single full frame
images sequentially. Some can do it based on activity.  A single channel DVR
that has settings for different standard multiplexors will record it
properly.  The DSR2000e by Kalatel will work with multiplexors upto 16
channels.  It has some other problems, but...  I don't like that particular
recorder because of other issues.
