Create the text to be displayed on the compu-
ter used as the reference input, using software 
such as PowerPoint® : the text should be bright 
(yellow, white...) on a black background.

The PIP effect allows to insert a source onto the 
reference computer input or onto a frame. This 
effect  is  only  possible  between  the  reference 
input/frame and the other inputs.
Display on the MAIN output the reference com-
puter input or a frame (input #1 in this example). 
a) Pre-select the input  used  for  the  PIP effect

a PIP effect (between the reference input & the

tion  button or  Fn button plus  the  desired frame 
selection button. The transition of the background

•  The  device  allows 4  different switching  effects:  CUT*,  FADE*,  FADE  CO-
LOR  and  CLEAN  CUT. The  CUT  effect  allows  switching  seamlessly  between  
2 sources. The FADE effect allows fading out the displayed source while another 
source is fading in. The FADE COLOR effect allows switching between 2 sources 
with a fading through the color of you choice. The CLEAN CUT allows a clean 
switching thanks to a fast freeze of the displayed source.
•  PIP* = Picture in Picture is also available effect.
•  OXE831 also enables you to key text onto the displayed image (TITLE* effect).
