Picture-in-picture mode
The DVS 304 can display two image sources on the screen simultaneously. Keep in mind
that when using the PIP feature, one image source must be low-resolution (composite,
S-video, YUVi and RGBcvS) video, while the other must be high resolution (YUVp/HDTV,
RGB scaled, SDI) video. If these conditions are not met (for example, two low resolution
video inputs or two high resolution inputs are selected), the PIP mode will exit.
To go into picture-in-picture mode, do the following:
1.
Select an input for the main window.
2.
Define the size of the main window before starting
PIP
mode.
3.
Activate the
PIP
mode via an SIS command or IR remote; specify the
PIP
window
input.
DVS 304 checks the input format for the
PIP
window and returns an error message if an
invalid selection is made.
NOTE:
For quick sizing setup, use the 16*#
X10%
SIS command to set different sizes
for the
PIP
window.
When the
PIP
mode is active, note the following:
•
The LED for the main window input is ON.
•
The parameters of the
PIP
window are adjustable from the front panel or by SIS
commands only.
•
Any change in configuration (except positioning) of the
PIP
window is saved to that
input even after the PIP mode is no longer active.
•
The
PIP
window input is listed under the default cycle on front panel menu, as shown
below.
When the
PIP
window is active, size, position, and picture controls all apply to the
PIP
window. The main window settings cannot be modified while the
PIP
window is active.
The PIP size and position can be adjusted with the same front panel controls or SIS
commands used to adjust the main image.

PIP Sequence
If the
PIP
window source is not active, the
PIP
mode exits until an active signal is
detected. When the main window source is removed, a black background is displayed.
Changing the input
To change the input for the
PIP
or main window, determine if the corresponding input is a
low or high resolution.
If your main window image is from a low resolution source, switch to another low
resolution input from the front panel.
