PIP 422

Two Window Video Picture-in-Picture Processor

M U lT i - W i n D o W P r o c e S S o r S

FeatUres

• Combines multiple video sources into two windows on a single display

• Inputs: Two fully configurable inputs with buffered loop-throughs on BNCs;

accepts component video, S-video, or composite video input signals

• Outputs: Simultaneous output of component video, S-video, and composite video
on BNCs

• Two window simultaneous display — The PIP 422 displays two windows within the
same screen.

• Three-way video transcoding with simultaneous output of component video,
S-video, and composite video — Allows for flexibility and fast, easy integration into
any video display system, as well as video recording or simultaneous distribution to
multiple displays.

• 10 memory presets for saving and recalling window configurations — The
PIP 422 features 10 memory presets with factory-loaded picture-in-picture window
configurations, which can be customized to save configurations and recall size,
positioning, and priority for all windows.

•

Image freeze control — A picture-in-picture window can be frozen via the front panel
or RS-232 or RS-422 control, enabling video frames to be captured and displayed for
extended periods of time.

•

Picture controls for each window including color, tint, brightness, contrast,
and detail

•

Window transition effects including cut, dissolve, and wipe — or professional
quality presentations, windows can be transitioned into and out of the image using a cut,
dissolve, or wipe effect.

•

Swap mode exchanges configuration settings - sizing, positioning, overlay priority

- between the two windows

•

Customizable background and border colors — Any of eight colors can be selected
for the background and window borders.

•

Picture-in-picture window controls for positioning, sizing, zoom, and
overlay priority

•

Text overlay for window caption labeling — Each picture-in-picture window can be
labeled with text of up to 16 characters, through RS-232 or RS-422 control.

•

RS-232 and RS-422 serial control port — Using serial commands, the PIP 422
can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program,
or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the SIS™

- Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that
allow for quick and easy programming.

• Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions

except for input selection; all functions, however, remain active through RS-232 or
RS-422 control.

•

Rack-mountable 1U, full rack width metal enclosure

• Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power

supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

descriPt ion

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 customiza ble picture-in-picture presentations can be created with the PIP 422.
Ind epen dent , 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 p anel 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 feature s
and capabilities.
