Background Tile

Foreground Tile

In a Single PIP configuration, one tile fills the background while another tile and its
mask float atop the background. The CURRENT source always serves as the back-
ground tile; the NEXT source always serves as the PIP image.
The background tile always fills the entire screen. You can apply Input Effects (Strobe,
Freeze, and so forth) to the background tile, or make the tile a solid color. You cannot
otherwise change the background tile in any way.
You can manipulate the foreground tile and mask in different ways, such as:
• Position the tile anywhere on screen.
• Change the size and shape of the tile and its mask.
• Create a border around the tile.
• Reposition, resize, and otherwise change the mask without changing its corre-
sponding tile.
