No, for something like this you really REALLY want to live-switch it as
much as possible. If it goes 4 hours on 2 cameras, you waste an entire
8-hour day just digitizing before you can even make a single cut, you'd
be better off using tape-to-tape machine control for edits. Then
editing would take you another 10 hours. Meanwhile, there's more
meetings to tape; your drives are filling up, you have another 4-hours
of output time for each project...you'd NEVER get ahead, unless
meetings were only once a week or fewer. And your coverage becomes less
timely.

NLE's are fabulous tools, but not the solution to everything.
