PIP/PBP
The PIP (Picture in Picture) function separates the screen into two parts. One source device is displayed
on the main screen at the same time the another source device is displayed in inset windows.
The PBP (Picture by Picture) function separates the screen in half displaying output from two different
source devices simultaneously on the left and right sides of the screen.
Compatible with Windows7 and Windows8.
The
PIP/PBP
function may not be available depending on the specifications of the graphics card
used. If the screen is blank in
PIP/PBP
mode when the optimum resolution is selected, go to
Control Panel
Display
Screen Resolution
and click
Detect
on the PC.
(Instructions are based on Windows 7.) If the screen is blank when the resolution is set to the
optimum resolution, change the resolution to 1280 x 1024.
The screen may flicker briefly or appear after a delay when you enable or disable the
PIP/PBP
function or when you change the screen size with the
PIP/PBP
function activated.
This can typically arise when a PC and a monitor are connected to two or more input sources.
It has nothing to do with the performance of a monitor.
The issue is mainly caused when the video signals are delayed in transmission to the monitor
depending on the graphics card performance.
To maximize the picture quality and Sound can be normal output it is recommended to use a
graphics card or DVD that supports 4K (3840 x 2160 at 30HZ) resolution when connect
HDMI 1
port.

the optimum resolution due to a compatibility issue between the graphics card and the Windows
system. Set
