Picture-In-Picture Integrated Circuit

Whether screening the latest DVD cinematic release without missing the final minutes of the big game on the large-screen color television, or the members of the family are disputing which channel to switch to during those frequent commercials, the picture-in-picture function has become a mainstay for many hardcore television fanatics. Also referred to as a dual channel platform, picture-in-picture (PIP) integrated circuit technology simplifies so-called channel surfing and may offer applications in medical care, commercial video production, security monitoring, and other fields in which simultaneous monitoring of two different video signals provides an advantage to the viewer.
