Build PIP video sequence "step by
step"
In the described example primary channel is used to implement PIP operations. It means that main input stream
to the primary channel has to be established and active during PIP processing.
Parameters of input streams used to build PIP images are set in the "Picture In Picture" options dialog
and in the Breeze controller panel. You may see how it is done for each concrete assembly step further at this
page.
Parameters of the processed output PIP stream are set in the
"Save sequence" options dialog, in the
group box "Picture In Picture" for the primary channel. In the described example PIP images are saved
from the primary panel "As Is". At the Figure 16 you
may see "Save sequence" options dialog with required configuration settings.
Figure 16.
First of all you may see that "Enable "Save" operation" check box at the top of dialog is checked.
It enables "Save" operations in general. Check box "Enable "Save" operation for primary channel" is
checked also. It enables "Save" operations for primary channel.
More detailed description of how to set file format, directory and file names for saved data
you may find at the page
"Save sequence"
options dialog.
PIP operations in this example are different from each other mainly by the combination of
types of images used as a "base" image and as an "inserted" image. Depending on whether these images are "static" or "dynamic",
all combinations used at the assembly steps from 1 to 7 can be grouped into 3 distinctive groups shown in the
Table 1.

It means that PIP operations used at the steps 1, 2 and 3 are very similar to each other. They differ
from each other by the input video data only. Correspondingly, PIP operations used at the steps 4, 5 and 6 are similar to
each other too.
In the Table 2 you may see most important Breeze configuration
settings for each type of PIP operations from the Table 1, as they
were implemented in the described example.

Column "Base" and "Inserted" of Table 2 show video ports associated
with the input PIP streams used for building PIP images. Video port selected into the primary channel
acts as a "base" PIP image. Use controller panel to select a video port required for the PIP operation
into the primary channel. Use edit and spin boxes "Insert picture from the video port" of the "Picture In Picture"
options dialog to select a video port where "inserted" PIP images will be taken from.
Step 1: Place "left talking person" into the "gray" frame
Step 2: Place "central talking person" into the "green" frame
Step 3: Place "right talking person" into the "green-red" frame
Step 4: Place "left talking person in frame" into the base picture
Step 5: Place "central talking person in frame" into the base picture
Step 6: Place "right talking person in frame" into the base picture
Step 7: Place text into the base picture
