5GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PIP-200

The KRAMER PIP-200is a Multi-Standard Picture in Picture Video Inserter designed for studio and other applications for monitoring and special effects generation. Front panel switches control the size of the inserted picture (1/4, 1/9, 1/16 or 1/36th of the screen), its position, its border color and matte color and they can also be used to freeze the inserted picture. The user can flip between the inserted and background image, with a key or wipe effect. A single color can be displayed instead of the background video source and the user can flip between the inserted picture and the background image, using a front panel switch. Additional features of the PIP-200include the ability to insert an NTSC image into a PAL background and vice versa. When turned off, the machine saves its settings in an internal EEPROM, recalling them when it is turned on again. The encoder's power up settings (PAL, NTSC, NTSC4.43) can be selected via internal jumpers inside the machine. Control of the machine is also possible via its RS-232 port with the software which is provided with the machine. Front/rear panel features of the PIP-200are described in Figure 1, Table 2 and Table 3.
