In addition to the full screen display, when it is connected in conjunction with the Computer system, the PIP sub video Window can also be displayed at the top of PC monitor screen to let the user watch TV while using the computer at the same time, or just enjoy a full screen TV viewing. When the ENXTV-X2 is use as a standalone TV box (computer CPU is turned off), it is completely independent with the computers VGA or monitor screen settings. Resolution and other adjustments depend on the monitor or the ENXTV-X2 settings. While in PIP mode (computer is turned on and in PIP mode), in order to have the optimized resolution and performance, we recommend setting the computer VGA in XGA mode (1024x768) and monitors refresh rate at 75Hz.
