As I said, any basic four-channel MUX will let you do the PIP part... the trick
is in running the other six cameras in sequence WITHIN the PIP window.  Appears
that this one MIGHT do that (the "Dual PIP Mode" description is somewhat
marketing-blather-heavy, technical-info-light), but the rest of the features are
EXTREME overkill.

Then again, when you can do nice transitions between camera views... ;)
