C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL

This ‘all in one’ converter facility combines the abilities of a Down Converter PLUS

and Video Scaler PLUS into one unit with added functionality for image

superimposition. This is achieved by using the units inbuilt features such as Keying,

Picture in Picture (PIP), Fading, and the facility to switch the between overlaying the

foreground over the background and vice versa – background/foreground priority.

3.2 Device Features

General Topography

4:4:4 RGB / YUV sampling provides full bandwidth color which allows precise keying

where included in the unit’s capabilities. This can be achieved through the

transparent (soft) keys on the front of the unit. Each unit’s video inputs accommodate

multiple video and computer signal formats and resolutions – see specifications at

end of manual for full details.

Ultimate flexibility

The C2-1000 series’ output signal format flexibility assures that the Native

Resolution of virtually any display can be matched. Because of the resolution

calculator (included in the Windows® Control Panel), even new resolutions can be

added to the unit. Signal parameter adjustments can be made for each video input

and are stored in individual non-volatile memories for retrieval once the unit’s power

has been removed. The Video Scaler units employ pixel adaptive motion

compensation to de-interlace fast moving images, and automatic 3:2 Pull-down

efficiently de-interlaces video from 24 fps NTSC film.

Simple Control

The unit can be controlled in various ways. One option is to control it from the front

panel using the transparent (soft) keys on the front of the unit. Another option would

be to control the unit from an infra-red remote control. It can also be controlled via

RS-232 using the Windows Control Panel.

The Windows Control Panel is available for download from our Internet site and

affords complete control of the unit and adds Scripting to facilitate long, complex

sequence of commands.

Finally, a hardware based switcher like the CORIO

console unit allows the user to

control the unit by mimicking a classic video switcher device.

Upgradeability

All C2-1000 units benefit from firmware upgradeability, thus reducing product

obsolescence by allowing the installation of the latest version of firmware. This not

only applies to the software used to control the unit, but also to the range of

resolutions stored inside the unit, the addition of new features, and upgrades to the

heart of the image processing hardware – the CORIO

2 scaling engine. See
