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 "mask" is the shape that includes the floating picture, along with any border,
shadow, or other element.
You can freeze the background or foreground, or make either one a solid color.

Background Tile

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.
