Advantages of using the V-8

 

 

You can use the Picture In Picture effect to show two images simultaneously (p. 43).

 

 

You can use Luminance keying to superimpose text or graphics on an image (p. 46).

 

 

Since a scan converter is built in, you can directly input presentation material from your computer.

 

 

Since there are two PC inputs, you can connect and use two computers.
