On button — The PIP On button toggles the PIP function on and off.

If you press and hold the PIP On button while you apply power to the switcher, the switcher toggles the output signal type between RGB and progressive component video. If an RGB signal type (RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB) was selected the last time the switcher was powered, the signal type switches to component. If component video was selected, the signal type switches to RGB.

The audio breakaway switching function, normally available under RS-232 control only, is not available when the PIP function is on.

On LED — When lit, the PIP On LED indicates that the switcher’s PIP function is on.

Swap button — The PIP Swap button toggles the primary and secondary pictures between the main image and the PIP window.

With regard to the PIP function, there are two groups of inputs:

Low resolution — Inputs 1 through 4 (and input 5 if it is configured as interlaced component video; see “Input 5 selection” on page 3-18)

High resolution — Inputs 6 through 8 (and input 5 if it configured as progressive component video/HDTV; see “Input 5 selection” on

page 3-18)

The PIP function toggles between the selected input in each group. The PIP function cannot toggle between two inputs in the same group.

The size of the PIP window is set in the menu system, see “PIP Mode selection box”, on page 3-24, for details. The position of the PIP window is set with the centering adjustment; see “Picture adjustments”, on page 3-25, for details.

If PIP mode is off (the PIP Mode On LED is off), the Swap function continues to work, toggling between the most recently selected low-resolution input and the most recently selected high-resolution input. Unlike when PIP mode is on, however, the input that is replaced in the main window is not displayed in the PIP window.
