    wait... you don't mean Split Screen?
    PIP is a image that is inside another image, not a second screen...
    well there a time that I tried to use the second screen as a map, but I after 1 min I didin't remember what as the map, and what was the normal one... also THX for remembering me about that.

    yep.

    it's exactly the same thing as pip on a technical level. PiP is just a catchy name so that people have something to call it. It doesn't say anything about the underlying tech. It leads to confusions with people thinking it's the fact that it's inside the main view that's important where it's not.

    Pip is what uber are going to rely on to show PA on multiple screens.

    And Supcom did just that. two views each one one screen and each splittable into two more views.
