Picture Layouts
The Layout key on the remote control has two behaviours depending on the Picture Layout
setting in Administrator Settings (see Control Panel - Administrator Settings –General –
Screen Settings). It can provide either a Picture in Picture (PIP) or a Picture outside Picture
(POP). POP is recommended for wide screens.

automatically show Picture in Picture when it is suitable (see Control Panel - Administrator
Settings - Presentation Settings).
