Once source and layer attributes have been set, you can start working
with layer functions. Layer functions allow you to fine tune and stylize
individual layers by adding effects and programming movement,
transitions, opening and closing effects. In the following example, we
shall see how to create a layer opening effect.

PIPs (Picture In Picture) on the Di-VentiX II are in fact layers, and
therefore work just like layers do. Typically, the first available layer
(Layer A), will be used as your background in most event setups, and
by default, matches your main output resolution. The next available
layer (layer B) can then be used as a PIP, with sources such as a
computer presentation or a camera preview for example.
