Input Selection Operation
Each of the inputs is assigned to one of two groups (see
•
Low resolution — Inputs 1 through 4 (and input 5 if it is configured as interlaced
component video (see “
” on page 25).
•
High resolution — Inputs 6 through 8 (and input 5 if it configured as progressive
component video/HDTV (see “
Input selection acts differently, depending on whether PIP mode is on or off:
•
PIP mode on — If PIP mode is on (the PIP On LED is lit), pressing the input button selects
a new input for display in either the main window or the PIP window. The window in
which the selected input is displayed depends on which group (high resolution or low
resolution) the input is in. The selected input replaces the previously selected input from
the same group in whichever window that input had been displayed.
•
In figure 16, when you press the Input 3 button, input 3 replaces input 1 in the PIP
window.
•
In figure 16, when you press the Input 8 button, input 8 replaces input 6 in the
main window.
•
PIP mode off — If the PIP mode is off (the PIP On LED is off), pressing the input button
selects a new input for display in the main window.
Picture-in-picture Mode Operation
The two images displayed when the PIP feature is on (the PIP On LED is lit) must come from
different input groups (one high resolution and one low resolution).
•
If the primary input (the image displayed in the main window) is a high-resolution
input, the secondary input (the image displayed in the PIP window) must be a
low-resolution input (see figure 16).
•
If the primary input is a low-resolution input, the secondary input must be a
high-resolution input (see figure 16).
The PIP function toggles between the selected input in each group. In
press the Swap button:
•
Input 3 replaces input 8 in the main window.
•
Input 8 replaces input 3 in the PIP window.
The PIP feature cannot toggle between two inputs in the same group.
NOTES:
•
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.
