Crop the image as desired so 
that unwanted edges are removed from 
the display (changed to black—see

Active Input Window, or area of 
interest. Range of adjustment depends 
on the source resolution and other 
factors. After adjustment of blanking it 
may be necessary to perform a source 
switch. 
NOTE: Blanking a PIP image
