PIP Size and Position – SUBMENU

Most controls in the PIP Size and

Position menu adjust the PIP

(secondary) image in the same

fashion as their counterparts in the

main Size and Position menu

adjust the main image—see 3.6,

Adjusting the Image for details.

Exceptions are:

POSITION PRESETS –Set the

location of the PIP (secondary) image in the display.

ASPECT RATIO PRESETS – Choose the desired aspect ratio for your PIP pixels. Use

the “Default” aspect ratio when incoming format has square pixels (most common).

This ensures that the resulting PIP image maintains its intended aspect ratio. Use

“Anamorphic” for NTSC signals having narrower pixels--this will stretch the pixels

horizontally to regain the intended aspect ratio of the PIP image.

NOTE: If the image is already resized at the source it will remain that way in the PIP

window. If, for example, an NTSC signal is already set to anamorphic through the

Resize and Preset menu it will remain that way in the PIP window. If the NTSC signal

is formatted as widescreen at the source, then the image in the PIP window will

appear with black bars above and below it.

PIP Image Settings —

SUBMENU

Adjust the PIP (secondary image) without affecting the size or position. The primary

image remains unchanged. See 3.6, Adjusting the Image for details

PIP Border Width

Set the desired line thickness for your PIP window border.

PIP Border Color

Select the desired color for the PIP window border.

NOTES: 1) Numbers 7 and 8 on the Picture-in-Picture and Switching submenu

control switching parameters. 2) Disable PIP in order to work with Seamless

Switching. 3) Disable PIP and Best Switching for Interlaced sources > 35kHz.

Seamless Switching is the ability to instantly and/or smoothly switch sources, and is

controlled with options 7 and 8 in the PIP and Switching menu. To use Seamless

Switching, PIP must be disabled. NOTE: On WU models, both Seamless Switching

and PIP are not available and image optimization defaults to Best Image Quality.

Tips for best source switching:

 Ensure a channel has been configured for each source.

 Progressive digital and analog sources are recommended.

 Set Image Optimization to Seamless Switching (see below).

 For best results, use the same frame rate and gamma setting for each.

NOTE: Avoid using two interlaced sources.
