Content Management manages media and advertising contents. Event Management schedules events. Program Management mangages programs.

2. Broadcasting: Picture-in-picture (PiP)

In analog TV industry, Picture in Picture (PiP) allows one TV channel to be displayed on full screen while another TV channel to be displayed in overlay. Picture-in-picture usually needs two tuners to receive two TV signals. The primary tuner may receive cable TV program while secondary tuner may receive DVD player or PC display. The Blu-ray Disc for HD movies included Picture-in-picture so you can watch video comments and a movie. Here is an interesting blog and comments: Okay, who uses Picture in Picture? by Mandi Bierly.

Since Adputer Station can run n-channel video simultaneously, it can deploy Picture-in-picture (PiP) in multiple mode. For example, Adputer Station with 4-channel support can implement PiP in 1-in-1, 2-in-1, and 3-in-1. That allows you to watch 3 subtitle channels in one full screen movie. In Olympic Game, you can watch swimming while preview basketball and switch them if you want to change your focus.
