The DSK layer can occupy the whole screen. If set up incorrectly this layer can stop the video layers behind
it from being seen properly. Re-adjust your DSK 1 settings or switch off the DSK1 function on the HS-2200
to restore the video behind it.
The LOGO and Clock layer does not occupy the whole screen and all other layers are visible through it. A
logo if positioned incorrectly can partially hide an important part of the video, PIP or CG LUMA KEY layers.
Typically logos or station ID bugs are placed in a corner of the screen.
NB: Where possible prepare and position the upper video layer elements in advance of the live production
starting to avoid them appearing on the program output incorrectly.
Most broadcast networks have guidelines and advice on the use of video, images, music, logos and on
screen text so it is best to check beforehand when planning a production. Do not use copyright protected
content until you have the relevant permissions. Information on royalty free video, images and music is
widely available, speak to your local dealer or search for advice on the internet.
6.3 Picture in Picture Function
The HS-2200 Picture in Picture function allows you to place one or two smaller PIP images over a chosen
full size background image. The smaller PIP images can be set to pre-defined sizes and positioned almost
anywhere within the Preset/Program screen area. These PIP windows can also have a coloured border
applied, and can be brought into the production with a default PIP dissolve transition.
PIP Settings
Before trying to activate the PIP function it is best to understand how to set up or choose the right options
for your production. Press the ENTER Key in the MENU area of the HS-2200 keyboard. Navigate to the PIP
Settings option using the down arrow key. The PIP menu options provided here are:
PIP1
PIP Settings
PIP2
PIP Preset and PIP Program
When looking at the top right corner of the HS-2200 Control Panel / Keyboard there are four PIP keys.
These are labelled Program and Preset.
The upper PIP1 and PIP2 keys relate to activating Picture In Picture images on the Program outputs.
The lower PIP1 and PIP2 keys relate to activating Picture In Picture images on the Multi-view or Preview
outputs.
Assigning a video source input to a PIP
Using the lower PIP1 or PIP2 buttons you can assign a selected video input to the chosen PIP video layer.

First press and hold down the required PIP button on the lower row. The Preset row of input sources
