The PIP-200 is a 2 camera video picture in picture screen splitter that does not require

any genlock feeds for the cameras. By using digital technology CVS is able to capture
and synchronize one camera to another so that the pictures can be compressed and split.
There are two compression sizes, 1/4 screen and 1/8 screen size. The size of the window
and the location of the window (Fig. 1) are variable.

Camera Requirements: The PIP-200 will work with 1 Color or B/W camera for input 1 and

only a B/W camera for input 2 which is the digitized input. Both cameras must conform
with RS-170A sync timing standards. This means they must also be interlaced with the

proper pulse widths and sync frequencies. It has been found that some of the less

expensive cameras while claiming to conform with RS-170A, actually do not. This can
cause instability in camera 2’s picture. If you are unsure of the RS-170A sync standard,
please contact Compu-Video Systems at 845-737-7009.

Set up:

To set up the screen splitter we recommend you use the following check list to make the
process simple.
