resulting PIP image maintains its intended aspect ratio. Use "Anamorphic" for NTSC signals having narrower pixels‐
‐this will stretch the pixels horizontally to regain the intended aspect ratio of the PIP image.
NOTE: If the image is already resized at the source it will remain that way in the PIP window. If, for example, an
NTSC signal is already set to anamorphic through the Resize and Preset menu it will remain that way in the PIP
window. If the NTSC signal is formatted as widescreen at the source, then the image in the PIP window will appear
with black bars above and below it.

NOTES: 1) Numbers 7 and 8 on the Picture‐in‐Picture and Switching submenu control switching parameters. 2)
Disable PIP in order to work with Seamless Switching. 3) Disable PIP and Best Switching for Interlaced sources >
35kHz.
Working with Seamless Switching
Seamless Switching is the ability to instantly and/or smoothly switch sources, and is controlled with options 7 and
8 in the PIP menu. To use Seamless Switching, PIP must be disabled.
Tips for best source switching:
• Insure a channel has been configured for each source.
• Progressive digital and analog sources are recommended.
• Set Image Optimization to Seamless Switching (see below).
• For best results, use the same frame rate and gamma setting for each.
NOTE: Avoid using two interlaced sources.
Image Optimization
Use this setting to choose what is more important, image quality or switching between sources. Selecting Best
Image Quality will insure your image is always proper however when switching sources, the screen will go blank
increasing your switching time. Smooth Switching allows for a cleaner transition between sources. The image will
fade from one image to another according to the Fade Time control. Seamless Switching overrides the Frame Lock
Enable settings and forces the output to run at 60Hz regardless of the input signal. Image is 100% seamless when
switching sources. NOTE: Disable PIP and Best Switching for Interlaced sources > 35kHz.
