PIP
– Picture In Picture function
The SE-2800 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 pre-defined sizes and positioned almost anywhere within
the Preview/Program screen area. These PIP windows can also have a coloured border applied, and can be
brought into the production with a default PIP dissolve transition.

PIP Preset and PIP Program
When looking at the top right corner of the SE-2800 Control Panel / Keyboard
there are four PIP keys. These are labelled Program and Preset.
The upper PIP1 and PIP2 keys relate to activating Picture In Picture images on
the Program outputs.
The lower PIP1 and PIP2 keys relate to activating Picture In Picture images on
the Multi-view or Preview outputs.
Assigning a video source input to a PIP
Using the lower PIP1 or PIP2 buttons you can assign a selected video input to
the chosen PIP video layer.
1) First press and hold down the required PIP button on the lower row. The
Preset row of input sources will light.
2) While still holding down the PIP button, press to select the required input
from the Preset row.
3) The input will flash to confirm it is selected.
This selection will also be confirmed on the HDMI Multi-view, with a P1 or P2
label shown next to the selected input image.
