Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources. For tabletop use, affix the rubber feet.
For optional rack or under furniture mounting, secure the supplied rack mounting bracket
or optional furniture mounting bracket (see image at right) and mount the unit.
Step 2 — Video inputs
a. Input (top) connectors — Connect up to
two (PIP 422) or four (PIP 444) component
video, S-video, or composite video input
devices to these BNC connectors. The figure
below shows how to connect the various
video formats.
N Connect only one video format to each input.
You must configure each input to identify
the connected video format.
b. Input loop-through (bottom) connectors —
If desired, connect local monitors to these
female BNC connectors. The processor
buffers the video input and loops it out on
these connectors..
N The processor does not alter the video signal between the input and the buffered loop-through in any way. The buffered loop-
through output is in the same format as the input.
Menu system operations
The PIP LCD menu system diplays status changes and it provides access

Step 3 — Video outputs
Outputs — Connect a component video, S-video, or composite video display device (or all three) to these BNC connectors.
The figure below shows how to connect the various video formats.
Step 4 — Genlock connectors (PIP 444 only)
a. In(put) connector — Connect an external black burst signal to this BNC connector for genlocking the
video signal in broadcast or other sync-critical applications.
b. Out(put) connector — Connect any downstream equipment that requires genlocking to this BNC
connector to route the black burst signal throughout the system in broadcast or other sync-critical
applications.
N If no device is connected to the output, terminate the Genlock output with the included 75-ohm terminator.
Step 5 — Serial port
If desired, connect a control system or computer to the rear panel
RS-232/RS-422 port.
Step 6 — Power
AC power connector — Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 to
240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into this receptacle.
Powering Up
Plug in the PIP, the input devices, and the
output device(s) into grounded AC power
sources and then turn on the input and
output devices. When AC power is
applied, the processor performs a self-test
that blinks all of the front panel LEDs and
then lights only the LEDs for the inputs
previously selected for the display. The
self-test also displays the model name, part
number, and the firmware version in the front panel LCD
display. After approximately 2 seconds, the LCD reverts to
its default display cycle, alternating among several displays;
one for each input that shows configuration of that input, and
the last showing the selected output standard. An error-free
power up self-test sequence leaves all of the LEDs, with the exception
of the LED(s) for the selected input off, and the LCD displaying the default display cycle.
