C2-4000 Series RGB Scaler Operation Manual

26

The brackets have now ceased their flashing and on the monitor you should 
see the foreground image shown at 50% of its full screen size, replacing the 
middle of the background image:

The last step is to set the position of the PIP.  Rotate the Menu Select knob to 
the right until the H/V Shr. pos % screen appears on the LCD display:

Press the knob once and the brackets will begin to flash.  This is where you’ll 
set the Horizontal position of the inserted (PIP) image. Rotating the knob to 
the left (Counter-clockwise) will cause the inserted image to move to the left. 
Rotating the knob right (Clockwise) moves the image to the right.  When you 
reach the Horizontal position you desire, press the knob again to lock in that 
value and stop the brackets from flashing. Rotate the knob one ‘click’ to the 
right, press the knob again and the Vertical position of the image can be set. 
Rotating the knob to the left causes the image to move up and rotating it to 
the right moves the image down. In this tutorial, we’ve moved the inserted 
image to the top, left corner of the monitor’s display.  Press the knob again to 
lock in the value and stop the brackets from flashing.

The LCD screen now looks like
