In this PIP window, you will select which external source to display. This means that your Public Display can additionally show a signal from an external device through an HDMI, Display Port, VGA, or DVI cable on top of your channel's content. A typical use case for the PIP widget is when you want to display an external source of content like your laptop, an Apple T.V. device, or a Chromecast device. You will need to plug your external device into the Professional Display, I.E. with an HDMI cable. When the external source is connected, the OMNIplay app will display your source in the PIP window you have created. If there is no external source to be found, the window will be hidden/transparent.   **1. Drag and drop the PIP widget from the left side of the interface onto your content on the right.**  ![PIP widget](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/image-411.png) **2. Select the cable you want the PIP window to display.** ![HDMI display port TV ](https://support.databeat.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-413.png?width=275&name=image-413.png) **3. The PIP window will appear, and you can adjust it.** **![PIP widget digital signage](https://support.databeat.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-414.png?width=548&name=image-414.png)** Please note that the PIP window in DatabeatOMNI Screen Designer will only show you this box. It will not be able to play and preview the content of the external source you have selected. **4. Play the channel on your Samsung Public display with the OMNIplay app.** ![PIP widget digital signage HDMI ](https://support.databeat.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-415.png?width=551&name=image-415.png) Here you see a preview of what it will look like in production. In the PIP window, you see a broadcast coming from the HDMI-cable.   **Requirements and limitations** The PIP widget is available in Screen Designer if you have the Pro-license. Using the PIP widget requires you to have an external device physically connected to a display with an internal player running the OMNIplay app. If you are using a Samsung Tizen Public Display, you can use the PIP widget. If you are using an external player like the [OMNIplay3](https://support.databeat.net/what-is-databeat-omniplay3?hsLang=en), you will not be able to use the PIP widget simply because you can not put an extra HDMI into the OMNIplay3. **Pro tip: You can mix multiple widgets and create your custom Screen Design.**![HDMI PIP widget digital signage commercial screen](https://support.databeat.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-417.png?width=555&name=image-417.png) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.databeat.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Databeat_Dark_KB_v2.png?width=131&height=26&name=Databeat_Dark_KB_v2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://support.databeat.net?hsLang=en) Databeat Knowledge base Copyright © 2026, PLAYipp Norge AS ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "contentUrl" : "https://4226870.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/4226870/PiP%20Widget.mp4", "dateModified" : "2026-03-23T00:41:11.814Z", "duration" : "PT24S", "height" : 974, "name" : "PiP Widget", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://api-na1.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/thumbnail-redirect/27256459567?portalId=4226870&size=medium&t=1648661184267", "uploadDate" : "2020-03-19T10:36:48.953Z", "width" : 1918 } ```
