descriPtion
The Extron PIP 444 is a video picture-in-picture processor for the creation and presentation of
multiple video windows on a single display. It delivers high performance video processing, and
is easy to operate and configure. The PIP 444 is ideally suited for videoconferencing, distance
learning, usability labs, event staging, and other applications that require the capability to
simultaneously display multiple video sources on one screen.
Three-way video transcoding with simultaneous output of component video,
S-video, and composite video Allows for flexibility and fast, easy integration into
—
any video display system, as well as video recording or simultaneous distribution to
multiple displays.

•
20 memory presets for saving and recalling window configurations — The
PIP 444 features 20 memory presets with factory-loaded picture-in-picture
window configurations, which can be customized to save configurations and recall
size, positioning, and priority for all windows.
The PIP 444 displays up to four windows within the same screen. It offers a high level of
flexibility, making the PIP 444 ideal for integration into a variety of A/V systems. Each window
has its own dedicated input, which is fully configurable to accept composite video, S-video, or
component video sources in NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, or SECAM. Each input also has a
buffered loop-through for source monitoring.
Image freeze control — A picture-in-picture window can be frozen via the
front panel or RS-232 or RS-422 control, enabling video frames to be captured
and displayed for extended periods of time.
The PIP 444 features internal video transcoding, so that picture-in-picture video is output
simultaneously as composite video, S-video, and component video. The output is selectable as
either NTSC 3.58 or PAL. All inputs and outputs are on BNC connectors for easy integration
into A/V system designs. The PIP 444 also includes video genlock for integration into CCTV
and broadcast applications.
•
Picture controls for each window including color, tint, brightness, contrast,

•
Window transition effects including cut, dissolve, and wipe — For professional
quality presentations, windows can be transitioned into and out of the image using a cut,
dissolve, or wipe effect.

Customizable background and border colors — Any of eight colors can be selected
for the background and window borders.
Fully customizable picture-in-picture presentations can be created with the PIP 444.
Independent, fine-tuning controls are used for each window to adjust size, position,
contrast/brightness, color/tint, overlay priority, and more. Window configurations can be saved
to 20 available user memory presets and then quickly recalled. Additional customization
features include image freeze control, background and window border color selection, and
window caption text labeling.
Picture-in-picture window controls for positioning, sizing, zoom, and
overlay priority
Text overlay for window caption labeling — Each picture-in-picture window can be
labeled with text of up to 16 characters, through RS-232 or RS-422 control.
Video genlock — All video outputs, including NTSC and PAL, can be synchronized to an
external reference signal for integration into broadcast and production applications.
The PIP 444 features full front panel controls for quick access to all functions. Remote
configuration and control are available via RS-232 or RS-422 with the Extron SIS™ - Simple
Instruction Set. The PIP 444 is firmware upgradeable for incorporation of new features
and capabilities.
RS-232 and RS-422 serial control port — Using serial commands, the PIP 444
can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program, or
integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple
Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for
quick and easy programming.
