  • Hi, this video shows you a useful feature that a lot of TVs have especially the newer televisions. It is called PiP which stands for Picture in Picture. It is useful if for example you are gaming on your Xbox or PlayStation and you want to watch football at the same time so you don't miss any action, it allows you to watch 2 things at the same time on the one screen.
    Many thanks Vince

    Can both sources be HDMI if the TV has multiple HDMI ports? So say you're streaming a game and using this TV as a monitor, can you have your desktop as most of the screen and then the system as the the PIP so you can get a live view of the game?

      Look into OREI 4K Multi HDMI Viewer.
      (There are multiple products on the market that do this but relatively few will have stable output video / no blinking or freezing esp in PIP.) Look for 4K60/HDR support, stable output, wired IR input (and IP or RS-232 control if integrating with home automation)

    • @AlexKarasev
      @AlexKarasev 2 місяці тому

      This may have a surprising amount to do with content licensing & contract language. In the old days TVs got PIP from antenna/analog inputs, completely opaquely & privately, so it didn't matter who was watching what how. And till few yrs ago digital TVs just followed that same naive approach. Now everything is measured, 0 privacy. If you're shown an ad in a tiny PIP & no sound, how much is your viewing of it worth to the advertiser? Not as much as the big screen. Do all advertisers have the same opinion about it? Can you imagine the cost & migraine from navigating this in a conference room full of lawyers, for channel after channel after channel? For now they just strip the feature.

    • @AlexKarasev
      @AlexKarasev 2 місяці тому

      ...But external boxes exist that do this, called MultiViewers. They vary by quality *a lot* (signal choppy or unstable on lesser units etc). Look into OREI 4K Multi HDMI Viewer. Say a 4x2 model lets you manage 4 sources across up to 2 TVs (I use just 1 TV but the 2nd source audio extraction is handy)

  • @signofzeta
    @signofzeta 7 років тому +1

    I can't wait until someone can figure out how to make a TV that outputs sound from the main and picture and picture at the same time.
    A workaround with this for me, on an older TV with component and composite input was to plug the white composite plug from my ps3 to the white socket on video 1 and the red composite plug from my ps2 to the red socket on video 1. The yellow plug for the PS3 is plugged to yellow socket for video 1, while the yellow plug is plugged to the yellow socket of video 2. Main is set to video 1, and picture in picture is set to video 2. Audio can be heard from both sources although the audio isn't stereo. For some odd reason on my TV, even if I plugged one of the composite audio jacks and not the other, I can still barely hear audio on the other speaker, so it is not completely mono audio.
    Now the downside of new TVs. They have HDMI, and you cannot have one source play on one speaker and another source play on the other speaker. You cannot disable audio, whereas, if you want to disable audio with composite, you just unplug the white and red cables. Even with my newer flat screen TV, you cannot just plug the video and not the audio. The TV won't let you switch to the composite input until you plug all 3 cables, which sucks.
    Now if a TV can output audio from both the main source and the picture in picture source at the same time, then I won't have to find a way to have one speaker play audio from one source and the other speaker play audio from another.

      Hi, to be honest no, not really. To me it seems fine for gaming but when using 4K for films it is hard to get a nice colour with it either looking washed out or really vibrant. The TV is OK for the money and has great Smart TV features (youtube,netflix etc.) but I think maybe I should have spent a little more money as my wife finds it hard to watch anything unless it is in cinema mode (picture settings) as it can look fake and cinema mode to me looks like 1080p even when watching 4K. Maybe I need to read up how to calibrate it properly but normally I am happy with the other TVs I have using the set menu picture options.

      In this kind of scenes, you can notice the trails on fast moving objects, like part of previous frame. (something like this - i.imgur.com/9vybinw.png KS)
      Now sitting here and thinking that maybe I'm to picky, because I don't need all these modern tech in tv, like hdr, clear motion - interpolation,...
      Just want simple and not overpriced TV, that is fast, and can display good picture.
      So can you confirm that the for example this scene ua-cam.com/video/4eP49zRmMFM/v-deo.html looks like mess?

    I imagine you'd need cable and not satellite tv?

    Is it possible somehow to have the pip from another hdmi source. I can't get it to work. I have the ue55ku6075.

      Not on my TV, it only allows the TV channels in the small screen which is a shame.

    So In other words you can't swap pictures (have the big picture become the !little picture and go back and forth) you can only swap sound. USELESS, technology has gone backwards in thirty years
