descriPtion
The Extron PIP 422 is a video picture-in-picture processor for the creation and presentation of
multiple video windows on a single display. It delivers high performance video processing, and
is easy to operate and configure. The PIP 422 is ideally suited for videoconferencing, distance
learning, usability labs, event staging, and other applications that require the capability to
simultaneously display multiple video sources on one screen.
The PIP 422 displays two video windows within the same screen. It offers a high level of
flexibility, making the PIP 422 ideal for integration into a variety of A/V systems. Each window
has its own dedicated input, which is fully configurable to accept composite video, S-video, or
component video sources in NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, or SECAM. Each input also has a
buffered loop-through for source monitoring.
The PIP 422 features internal video transcoding, so that picture-in-picture video is output
simultaneously as composite video, S-video, and component video. The output is selectable as
either NTSC 3.58 or PAL. All inputs and outputs are on BNC connectors for easy integration
into A/V system designs.
Fully customizable picture-in-picture presentations can be created with the PIP 422.
Independent, fine-tuning controls are used for each window to adjust size, position,
contrast/brightness, color/tint, overlay priority, and more. Window configurations can be saved
to 10 available user memory presets and then quickly recalled. Additional customization
features include image freeze control, background and window border color selection, and
window caption text labeling.
The PIP 422 features full front panel controls for quick access to all functions. Remote
configuration and control are available via RS-232 or RS-422 with the Extron SIS
™ - Simple
Instruction Set. The PIP 422 is firmware upgradeable for incorporation of new features
and capabilities.
