The DVI input is compatible with the DVI 1.0 specification and the VESA DCC/EDID 1.3 specification. The
required interface cable is a DVI-D (Single Link Digital) or DVI-I (Combo Analog and Digital) or DVI-A
(Analog RGB). A DVI-D (Dual Link) cable is also acceptable.

The Main Full or PIP Full expands the image to fill the entire screen.

The Swap button is used during Picture-in-Picture (PIP) setups. The Main and PIP inputs will be exchanged
when the button is toggled. For example, if a video PIP was overlaying a graphics background, pressing the
Swap button will result in a graphics PIP overlaying a video scene.

9.1.2. PIP Input

The user may select a graphics or video source for capture as the secondary image, which may be
positioned inside of and thus overlay the Main image (picture-in-picture, PIP) or the secondary image may be
placed adjacent to and outside the Main image (picture-out-of-picture, POP, side-by-side). The following
table shows Main/PIP combinations which are available:
