PIP
– Picture In Picture function
The HS-600 Picture in Picture function allows you to place one or two smaller PIP images over a chosen full size
background image. The smaller PIP images can be set to one of two predefined sizes and positioned almost
anywhere within the Preview/Program screen area. The PIP windows can also have a coloured border applied, and
can be brought into the production with a chosen wipe, cut or dissolve transition.
