About the Picture-in-Picture Processors

The Extron PIP 422 is a 2-input video picture-in-picture processor. The PIP 444 is a

4-input picture-in-picture video processor. The processors accept up to two

(PIP 422) or four (PIP 444) composite video, S-video, or component video input signals. Both units can output the signals simultaneously to three displays: one composite, one S-video, and one component. Both PIPs feature window effects and freeze control. The PIP 444 also features genlock capability. Ten (PIP 422) or twenty (PIP 444) factory presets or user-defined presets save picture number, size, position, and priority information as well as window text, and border and background colors.

Features

Inputs — The PIP 422 has two video inputs that can be configured for composite video, S-video, or component video. The PIP 444 has four video configurable inputs.

Buffered loop-throughs — Each input is buffered, looped through, and output for viewing on a local monitor.

Output — The processor has three simultaneous video outputs, one each for composite video, S-video, and component video. All three outputs can be configured for NTSC or PAL video.

Picture controls — Picture controls allow you to adjust size, position, brightness/ contrast, color/tint, detail, and zoom for each window.

Window presets — The processor has 10 (PIP 422) or 20 (PIP 444) factory presets that the user can change to set custom presets. The presets save sizing, positioning, priority, text, and color information for the windows.

Window effects — These effects enable or disable inputs using either a cut, wipe, or dissolve effect.

Swap function (PIP 422 only) — A press of a button swaps (exchanges) configuration settings (size, position and overlay priority) between the two windows.

Freeze control — Freeze control freezes (locks) selected windows of the current image.

Remote control — Operate the processor remotely via an optional RS-232/RS-422 control device.

Genlock (PIP 444 only) — Allows seamless switching between inputs by using an external black burst generator to synchronize devices.

Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — Locks the picture control and menu buttons on the front panel to avoid accidental changes to settings.

Input selection, freeze control, and recall of presets are still available while the processor is locked.

Rack mountability — The 1U high and full rack wide metal enclosure can be mounted in a rack.

RS-232/RS-422 port — The rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port provides for remote control of the PIP from a PC or control system. Remote control can be via either the Extron Windows ® -based control program or the Extron Simple

Instruction Set ™ (SIS ™ ). The SIS is a set of simple ASCII commands that allow you to perform most of the PIP operations.

Mounting the Processor

The PIP 422 and PIP 444 are housed in 1U high, 17.4" wide metal enclosures that are rack- or desk-mountable. The appropriate rack/desk mounting kit (#70-077-03) is included with the processor. The processor may also be surface-mounted under a table, desk, or podium, or on a wall, using an optional Extron 1U enclosure under-desk mounting kit (#70-222-01).

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the PIP into a rack (figure 2-1) or furniture (figure 2-3.

1.

Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

2.

Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3.

Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4.

Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5.

Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.

use of power strips.

Rack mounting

Rack mount the PIP as follows:

1 .

Remove the feet from the underside of the PIP, if installed.

2 .

Attach the supplied rack mounting brackets to the processor with the eight provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-1).

Setting Up Genlock and Vertical Interval Switching

For vertical interval switching (to allow clean switching between signals from several devices during the vertical blanking period of each signal), a composite sync signal can be applied at the Genlock In connector, and also passed to another device via the Genlock Out connector.

If the genlock connectors are used only for vertical interval switching, no horizontal or subcarrier phase adjustments are required.

Genlock setup

Genlock differs from simple vertical interval switching in that an external device (a black burst generator) generates a reference sync signal for the system, and every device that uses that signal has its output signal’s horizontal and subcarrier phases adjusted to exactly match that of the generator, allowing precise timing and full synchronization. Genlocked systems produce cleaner switches between inputs than do those without this type of synchronization.

An oscilloscope is required for genlock setup, and a vectorscope is recommended.

Waveform monitors of types other than a vectorscope may give the appearance that timing is adjusted correctly when it is 180 degrees out of phase, which will result in incorrect colors or picture artifacts.

All equipment in the system must be powered up and turned on for at least

15 to 20 minutes before genlock setup adjustments can be made and before the equipment is used in a genlocked application.

To synchronize the PIP’s video output with a genlock signal, follow these steps:

1 .

Power up and turn on all the devices that will use the genlock signal.

The devices must be on for at least 15 to 20 minutes before proceeding with any adjustments.

2 .

Connect the active timing source signal to the Genlock In connector on the rear panel.

3 .

Connect the video input devices to the PIP, as described previously in this chapter.

4 .

Connect the oscilloscope (“scope”) probe A to the Genlock Out connector.

This will provide the scope’s reference signal. In order to avoid altering the genlock signal, use the cabling configuration that will be used in the installation. Either connect the genlock signal cable from the scope to the next device in the system to be timed, or provide 75 ohm termination at the scope’s genlock output.

5 .

Connect scope probe B to the PIP’s composite video output connector.

6 .

Using the instructions for the scope you are using, set the scope to view the signals’ horizontal phases. Adjust the horizontal phase until there is no (0°) difference between the composite video output’s horizontal sync phase and the genlock signal’s horizontal phase. See “Genlock configuration menu (PIP 444 only)” in chapter 3, “Operation”, and

“Oscilloscope displays” later in this chapter for details on adjusting the horizontal phase.

7 .

Set the scope to view the subcarrier signals. Adjust the subcarrier phase until there is a zero phase difference between the genlock signal and the

NTSC/PAL output. See “Genlock configuration menu (PIP 444 only)” in chapter 3, “Operation”, and “Oscilloscope displays” later in this chapter for details on adjusting the color subcarrier phase.

Installation, cont’d

8 .

View the horizontal phases again. If the phase difference is not zero, repeat steps 6 and 7 until the settings do not change.

9 .

Once the settings are stable, disconnect the oscilloscope, and reconnect the genlock cables.

10 . Check the display(s) for proper colors and for undesirable artifacts in the image(s). Make adjustments as necessary.

11 . If other PIPs are part of this genlock daisy chain, connect the oscilloscope to each device, and repeat this procedure.

Oscilloscope displays

What you see on the oscilloscope while adjusting the PIP to match the genlock signal depends on the type of signal used, the type of oscilloscope, and the procedure the scope requires. This section shows some examples of oscilloscope displays.

Figure 2-7 below shows the genlock input signal (top) and an out-of-alignment

NTSC composite sync output signal (bottom) displayed on a waveform monitor to check for alignment. When the phases are aligned, the wave peaks on the bottom waveform should line up with those in the reference signal above it.

With this method there is no way to know if the signals are 180º out of phase. A delayed sweep on a time-based scope would allow a more accurate display of the input and output signal phase relationships.

Figure 2-7 — Superimposed waveforms

A vectorscope is more accurate than a waveform monitor. Figure 2-8 shows an example of a vectorscope display when the horizontal phase is adjusted to align it with the burst (genlock) vector. Adjust the horizontal phase by accessing the

Genlock configuration menu and rotating either of the Adjust knobs until the difference between the two vectors is 0º (see “Genlock configuration menu (PIP 444 only)” in chapter 3, “Operation” for more information). This example shows black burst only (with no color). The burst vector is pointing to the left from the center.

Power-on Indications

Power is automatically applied when the power cord is connected to an AC source.

When AC power is applied, the switcher 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 LCD display. After approximately 2 seconds, the LCD reverts to its default display cycle, alternating among several displays; one for each input that shows that input’s configuration, and the last showing the selected output standard (figure 3-3). An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all of the LEDs, with the exception of the selected inputs’ LED(s), off and the LCD displaying the default display cycle.

The selected inputs and their size and position on the display, the picture adjustments, and other current settings are saved in nonvolatile memory. When power is applied, the latest configuration is retrieved.

On figure 3-3 and all other flowcharts in this chapter, solid lines indicate screen changes initiated by the operator. Dashed lines indicate screen changes that are the result of a timeout function.

Picture Controls

The picture adjustments allow you to fine tune the image quality of the selected window. When you press one of the Picture Control buttons (Color/Tint,

Brightness/Contrast, Detail (filter), Position, Size, or Zoom), the corresponding picture adjustment menu for the selected window appears in the LCD (figure 3-10).

For Position, Size, and Zoom, press the button again, and the corresponding image adjustment menu for the image within the window appears. In either screen, adjustments can then be made by rotating the Adjust knob or Adjust knob.

Picture control settings are stored in nonvolatile memory; when the processor is powered down and then powered up, the settings are restored.

See Auto-center the image on page 3-12 to automatically center the image within the active window.

When a window or image adjustment is selected, the window that is selected for adjustment by using the Window Select button is indicated on the displayed image by a blinking border. Borders on the unselected windows are temporarily turned off.

The PIP’s RS-232/422 port is used to connect to a host or external controlling device, such as a computer or control system, which can generate the proper command codes and recognize the processor’s responses.

The cable used to connect the RS-232/RS-422 port to a computer or control system may need to be modified by removing pins or cutting wires. If unneeded pins are connected, the processor may hang up. See chapter 2,

“Installation”, for more information on wiring the connectors.

The RS-232/RS-422 connector is a 9-pin D female (figure 4-1). The default protocol is RS-232, 9600 baud, 8-bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

See “Selecting the baud rate and RS-232/RS-422 protocol” in chapter 3,

“Operation”, to change the protocol.

Simple Instruction Set Control

Host-to-PIP communications

The PIP 444 and PIP 422 accept SIS™ (Simple Instruction Set™) commands through the RS-232/RS-422 port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

PIP-initiated messages

(C) Copyright 2005, Extron Electronics, PIP 422 (444), V. x.xx

Error responses

When the PIP receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the processor is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large)

E09 — Invalid function number (too large)

E10 — Invalid command

E11 — Invalid preset

E13 — Invalid value (out of range)

E23 — Checksum error

Horizontal shift

For the image shift command, a negative (–) value is a left shift and a positive value (+) is a right shift. To enter a negative value for the image positioning, enter a minus sign before the

X9

value.

Entry of a positive sign is optional, but not required; if no sign is included in the SIS command, the

PIP assumes a positive value. The PIP returns a negative sign in its response when the value is negative, but does not return a positive sign.

Control Software for Windows

®

The Windows-based Extron PIP 422 & 444 Control Program, which communicates with the processor via the RS-232/RS-422 port, provides an easy way to configure and operate the PIP. The program is compatible with Windows 2000 and

Windows XP.

Installing the software

The program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM, disk B.

Install the software as follows:

For full functionality, install both of the following programs:

• The PIP 422 & 444 Control Program

• The Firmware Loader

1 .

Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The installation program should start automatically. If it does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the CD.

The Extron software CD window appears (figure 4-2).

Scroll to the desired program and click Install (figure 4-3).

Figure 4-3 — Software installation

4 .

Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the Windows installation of the

PIP 422 & 444 Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\

PIP 422 & 444 directory, and it places four icons into a group folder named

“Extron Electronics\PIP 422 & 444.” The four installed icons are:

• PIP 422 & 444

• PIP 422 & 444 Help

• Check for PIP 422 & 444 Update

• Uninstall PIP 422 & 444

Starting the control program

To run the software:

1 .

Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics >

PIP 422 & 444 > PIP 422 & 444. The Communication

Connection Settings window appears (figure 4-4).

Tool bar

The tool bar (figure 4-6) provides a number of buttons that provide shortcuts for common tasks such as connecting and disconnecting, saving and recalling the current configuration, uploading new firmware, and system help. Saving and restoring the current configuration and uploading firmware are covered in more detail below.

Figure 4-6 — Tool bar

Open and Save buttons

Any changes that you make to the display, including size, position, border and background color, and selected inputs, can be saved in a file with the extension *.pip. To save the values, click the Save button shown at right. If you haven’t already saved the values before, the program prompts you to name the file.

To restore the settings from the *.pip file, click the Open button, shown at right, and select the desired file.

Data trace button

The data trace button calls the trace log window (figure 4-7), which shows the serial communications, in ASCII and Hex, between the controller and the PIP.

Reference to this window can be helpful when writing your own control scripts.

Figure 4-7 — Trace log window

Upgrade firmware button

The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the processor’s control board without taking the processor out of service.

Upgrading the firmware does not overwrite the settings or presets.

Update the processor firmware as follows:

1 .

Start the PIP 422 & 444 control program and connect to the processor. See

“Starting the control program” in this chapter, starting on page 4-10.

2 .

Visit the Extron web site (www.extron.com), click the Download tab, and select either the PIP 422 or PIP 444. Select the appropriate firmware file to download and copy it to your computer. Note the folder to which you save the firmware file.

Click Browse. The open file window appears.

4b .

Navigate to the folder where you saved the firmware upgrade file. Select the file.

The Firmware Loader returns to the top.

Ensure that the firmware upgrade is for the PIP.

Valid PIP firmware files must have the file extension “.pkg”. Any other file extension is not a firmware upgrade for your PIP.

4c . Click Upload. The File Loader reports, “This process could take several minutes.

Please wait...” and then displays a scroll bar that shows the status of the upload.

4c .

When the Firmware Loader reports, “Transfer complete!”, click Exit .

If the firmware loader utility exits before the status bar has progressed completely across the indicator window, try using a control cable with only pins 2, 3, and 5 connected. If necessary, modify the cable by removing pins or cutting wires.
