Kramer PIP500
5 Video Picture-In-Picture Inserter & Quad Splitter

PIP500

The PIP-500 is a high performance picture-in-picture inserters for 5 video signals. It can accept and process composite video, s-Video (Y/C) and component video (YUV) signals. The PIP output can display up to 5 images simultaneously each of which can be individually sized and positioned. The PIP-500 also has an additional quad output mode which displays four inputs in four equal sized images.

• Multi-Format - Each input can be either composite video, s-Video or component video.
• Picture-in-Picture Options - All inputs can be displayed simultaneously, variable window sizing (1:1, 1:4, 1:9 or 1:16 each input), variable window positioning, freeze frame capability, optional window border, and text labeling available for all inputs.
• Dedicated Quad Output Mode - 4 quarterscreen images displayed simultaneously for both s-Video and composite video outputs (PIP-400 & PIP-500).
• Multi-Standard Operation - PAL, SECAM & NTSC compatible inputs. Although not a full standards converter, a PAL image can be mixed with NTSC images and the output can be either PAL or NTSC.
• Digital Comb Filter - Adaptive comb filters for composite video to S-Video conversion.
• Built-in Proc Amp - Brightness, contrast, and saturation for each input.
• Memory Locations - Store 2 PIP presets which can be quickly recalled.
• High Resolution - Full 10 bit digital processing.
• Flexible Control Options - Front Panel (with LCD and onscreen displays) and RS-232 (Windows®-based control software is included).
• Standard 19” Rack Mount Size - 1U for PIP-200xl & PIP-300 and 2U for PIP-400 & PIP-500.
• Worldwide Power Supply - 100-240V AC
