View Four Input Sources on One Display Simultaneously
Built-in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Picture-by-Picture (PbP) functionality let you view content from up to four different 4K/UHD sources simultaneously, with the ability to switch between them, including audio, easily. PiP mode places the second input source window in one corner of the display, while PbP mode allows you to set up the input source windows in four different ways, and can support four 4K/UHD windows at the same time.
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode places the second input source window in one corner of the display – either at the top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right.
Picture-by-Picture (PbP) mode allows you to split the screen to view four input separate sources side-by-side; you can easily switch between the main and secondary PbP sources, including audio too.
