Choosing
Single
while the display is operating in
PIP
or
PBP
mode will stop the device from displaying any and all
Second Source
images return it to displaying only the single
Main Source
image.
When selected, a box icon (
█
) will indicate that the selected function has been activated.
Display-Source-PIP-xxx
This menu item allows users to configure the display controller to display a
Second Source
signal input to be
displayed as a picture-in-a-picture (PIP, or POP).
Only composite signals may be configured as PIP images, and only a total of two images (i.e.,
either
a single PIP
or
a single PBP, but not both and not more than one) may be displayed at any given time.
After navigating to
Display/Source
, selecting
PIP
from the menu will open a submenu from which you may select
a
Composite
signal source should be configured as the
Second Source
input signal.
Only
Composite
signals may be selected as
Second Source
inputs. Digital and RGB signals may not be used as a
secondary input source.
A small, square icon (
█
)
will appear next to whichever menu item is selected to indicate the currently configured
signal source. This input will then be displayed within a small, configurable box superimposed over the
Main
Source
image.
The dimensions and image properties of the PIP are configured from within the OSD. Navigate to the
Display-Picture-PIP
-
PBP Adjustment
menu. From there, the PIP may be adjusted for horizontal and vertical
positioning, size, and display properties.
It is possible to use PIP images to fill “dead space” left by
Main Source
displays whose aspect scaling does not fill
the entire wide-screen panel ratio by configuring the PIP’s size and positioning to overlay any black bars/space
produced by image scales which do not completely fill the screen.
Should the
Swap Source
feature be selected, the input source (whether digital, RGB, or composite) configured as
the
Main Source
will be immediately switched out with the composite input signal currently configured as a PIP. To
return the device to its original configuration, simply select
Swap Source
once again and the display controller will
return to its original display configuration.
If, after configuring a PIP, the menu item
Display-Source-Single
is activated then the PIP will disappear, leaving
only the
Main Source
input signal as a solitary display.
When selected, a box icon (
█
) will indicate that the selected function has been activated.
Display-Source-PBP-xxx
This menu item allows users to configure the display controller to display a
Second Source
signal input as a
picture-beside-a-picture (PBP).
Only composite signals may be configured as PBP images, and only a total of two images may be displayed at any
given time; i.e., a
Main Source
image may also display
either
a single PIP
or
a single PBP, but not both and not
more than one additional image.
After navigating to
Display/Source
and selecting
PBP
from the menu, a submenu will open from which you may
select a
Composite
signal source to be configured as the
Second Source
input signal.
Only
Composite
signals may be selected as
Second Source
inputs. Digital and RGB signals may not be used as a
secondary input source.
A small, square icon (
█
)
will appear next to whichever menu item is selected to indicate the currently configured
signal source. This input will then be displayed beside the
Main Source
, with each image sharing a full half of the
panel display. Aspect ratios for each image will be recalculated according to the new screen space, and may need
to be manually re-adjusted.
To adjust the PBP’s display properties, navigate to the
Display-Picture-PIP
-
PBP Adjustment-PIP Picture
menu.
From there, the PBP’s image properties (
Brightness
,
Contrast
,
Sharpness
, and
Color
) may be adjusted.
The dimensions and positioning of the PBP are not adjustable.
Should the
Swap Source
feature be selected, the input source (whether digital, RGB, or composite) configured as
the
Main Source
will be immediately switched out with the composite input signal currently configured as the PBP.
In PBP display mode, this will transfer the right image into the left position, and the left image into the right;
however, should the user attempt to return to
Single
mode from this configuration, the
Composite
input (currently
