Re: Looking for a color multiplexer or sequencer with PIP

[Matt Ion <soundy106@xxxxxxxxx>]

My first thought is that any basic multiplexer, even a 4-channel simplex type,
or maybe even a some quad boxes, will give you a usable PIP display: take the
output of your sequencer with the security cameras, run it into one input of the
MUX, then run the community channel into a second input on the MUX, set the MUX
to display the community channel with the sequencer's feed in the PIP window,
and feed the MUX's output to the cable modulator.

That might be overkill, but it's a solution that SHOULD work based on equipment
I'm familiar with.  You can probably pick up a suitable used quad or MUX for
relatively cheap.
