3.6.5 System Configuration (Optional Input Modules)

The 2 "Option Card" entries in the Configura-
tion menu identify which optional input
modules (a.k.a. cards) are present at
(Option 1) and INPUT 6 (Option 2).
of these option slots are empty, the correspond-
ing read-only menu entry does nothing. If there
is a module installed, the corresponding menu
entry may activate a submenu of further options
pertaining to that module.
For example, on Roadster and HD models, the Dual SD/HD-SDI module is factory-installed at
(Option 1). The Option 1 Card submenu provides controls for configuring the various connections on this
multi-input, multi-output module. As desired for your application, you can define 1) which physical input
loops through to which output, and 2) which functional input (main or PIP signal) loops through to which
output.

Working with PIP or Seamless Switching

PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and Seamless Switching are independent , but related projector features that both
utilize 2 image-processing paths within the projector. In the case of Picture-in-Picture, this double processing
enables you to display 2 different images simultaneously - typically a smaller "secondary" image within a large
"primary" background. In a seamless switch (not currently available for this projector), the double processing
essentially occurs between displays so that a full image relayed from 1 source can smoothly transform into a
full image from another source. This change can be virtually instantaneous, or slowed as desired so that the
current image appears to dissolve or "fade" into the new image.
NOTE: PIP and Seamless Switching are not available on WU models.
Options for enabling and controlling PIP and Seamless Switching all reside in the same menu. Note, however,
that because both features utilize the projector's double processing capability, PIP and Seamless Switching
cannot be used together. For example, fading a pair of PIP images into a new display from a different source is
not possible.
For best PIP or Seamless Switching results, use two different signal types
signals of the same type.
