PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP) 

During a call on a single-monitor system, the PIP displays the camera view at the Near End. 
This helps you to adjust your own image if you need to. 
 
During a call on a single-monitor system, if a remote site shows content, such as a 
slideshow presentation, the content appears in the main part of the screen and the PIP 
changes to show the people at the Far End. 
 
During a call on a dual-monitor system, if a site shows content, one of the monitors shows 
the content, the other monitor shows the camera view at the Far End, and the PIP shows 
the camera view at the Near End. 
 

Turning the PIP ON/OFF During a Video Call 

Your system should be configured so that the PIP appears whenever you are in 
a video call.   

• 

When the PIP is showing, press the 

PIP

 button to turn it OFF. 

• 

If the PIP is not showing, press the 

PIP

 button to turn it ON. 

 
If you hold the remote in your hand while you turn the PIP off, then place the remote down 
on a table surface, the PIP reappears. This happens because of the two touch sensors on 
the bottom of the remote. To turn off the PIP again simply press the 

PIP

 button again while 

the remote is on the table surface and it should disappear - or lay the remote down on its 
side. 
 

Swapping the PIP and Main Screen Views 

To swap the views shown in the PIP and the main screen: 
 

1.  If the PIP is not showing, press the 

PIP

 button to turn it on.   

 

2. Press the 

CAMERA

 button. 

 

3.  Select the Swap PIP icon and press the

 SELECT

 button. 

 

 

Repeat the above steps to return the views back to the original setting
