  • Page 34 Unit Local inputs are inputs received by the unit to serve as an individual PiP image. A Cascade input is an image imported into the unit from an upstream BBG-1070-QS used in a multi-unit cascading multiviewer arrangement. An input used as a cascade input has controls related to local setup locked out (for example, burn-ins and sizing) since a cascading input serves as an underlay with all its burn-ins and other attributes already provided by the upstream unit.
