3 DEVICE SUMMARY
3.1 Device Capabilities
The 1T-C2 series uses the proprietary CORIO®2 Engine to perform its functions, being the second generation of the successful CORIO®products. The CORIO®2 technology is a powerful toolset for any application requiring high quality video signal conversion or image manipulation.
All units feature a single video processing and scaling engine, with some unit’s also featuring video mixing, keying and fader capabilities.
These functions allow the flexibility for handling a wide range of inputs and outputs, depending on the unit used.
All units are at one in the home and broadcast & display environments. The 1T-C2 series offers a range of high-level image processing functions – with each model designed to fulfill a particular need.
The following is a summary of the main types of product available in the 1T-C2 series, as marked on the front of each unit:
Down Converter
Down converting an image is when a computer PC or HD input is inputted to the unit. The input signal is then converted into a suitable signal which can then be displayed for use on a video screen or television, such as composite video.
Down Converter PLUS
This unit has all the features of a Down Converter, but it also has the added facility to superimpose the inputted computer image on top of an existing video signal. This is achieved with the unit’s inbuilt facilities such as Keying, Picture in Picture (PIP), and fading.
Video Scaler
This unit allows for a standard television video signal, such as Composite Video, to be input into the unit and then converted for use on a computer display. When using this function you can switch back to the computer image by pressing a button. This is known as bypass mode.
Video Scaler PLUS
Video Scaler Plus has all the features of the Video Scaler unit, but with the added facility of superimposing the converted video signal over the top of an existing computer video signal. This is achieved by using the unit’s inbuilt features such as Keying, Picture in Picture (PIP), Fading, and the facility to switch between overlaying the foreground over the background and vice versa – background/foreground priority.
1T-C2 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
14
PC/HD Scaler
This unit allows computer / high-definition video scaling from one resolution to another – for example, 720p to 1080i, or VGA to XGA, etc. This unit does not have any overlay abilities.
3.2 Device Features General Topography
4:4:4 RGB / YUV sampling provides full bandwidth color which allows precise keying where included in the units capabilities. This can be achieved through the 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 1T-C2 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 de­interlaces 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 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 1T-C2 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
http://www.tvone.com/support for more detail.

5 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
The range of buttons on the front of the unit provides the user with quick access for selecting a variety of inputs and features. Since all the units in the 1T-C2 series are different, not all of the descriptions below will be applicable to the unit in question. The mostly notable are the MIX/KEY/FADE buttons that are on certain units only.
The MENU button, button, and button set on the front panel provide the user with a way of navigating the on-screen-display (OSD) menu system. The RS232 interface and infra-red remote control also provide further ways of controlling the unit, which are detailed in a later section.
5.1 Button controls
A sub-set of the following buttons will be available on the front of the unit, depending on the model in use:
Button Button Function MENU Press once to show the on-screen display (OSD). Hold in to
cancel the OSD. Hold in for longer to store the current settings.
ZOOM
Jumps to the ‘Zoom’ menu item (also steps Zoom between
100%, 150%, 200% and 300% if the OSD is not active)
FREEZE
Freezes the current image (does not affect any background
image)
INPUT Cycles through the inputs on the rear of the unit to use for image
conversion – RGB, followed by CV, followed by YC, and back to
RGB again.
FADE Fades out the current image – fades back in on next press
KEY Enables keying – see ‘Adjust keyers’ menu.
(Key color defaults to black, so black foreground will disappear.)
MIX/PIP Sets Lock mode to Lock & Mix, to overlay onto the current Lock
source. Use with the KEY and FADE buttons for more flexibility.
A 2ndpress will also activate PIP mode (this enables the Shrink
value in ‘Adjust windows’). See ‘Adjust outputs’ menu details.
AUTOSET Activates Autoset for the current analog RGB input
ASPECT Cycles through 2 aspect ratio settings (letterbox and side-bars)
before returning to ‘normal’.
STANDBY Hold in to put the unit into Standby (power-save) mode.
Hold in briefly to come out of Standby mode.
1T-C2 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
17
5.2 MENU and buttons
The on-screen display (OSD) is controlled from the front panel by using these buttons. MENU will activate the OSD, whilst the and arrowed keys will allow
different menu items to be selected and adjusted – this is detailed in a later section.
5.3 Advanced menus
The above menu item must be ‘On’ to activate certain menu items. These typically control the more advanced items in the menus.
5.4 Special button combinations and functions
Various button combinations are available to perform certain functions:
These buttons combinations only work when the unit is switched on and active i.e. with the STANDBY/ON LED off.
5.4.1 Locking front panel buttons & IR remote control
This can be performed by pressing STANDBY/ON and FREEZE at the same time. All front panel buttons and IR remote commands will be disabled, with the exception of repeating the above combination to un-lock the unit and for storing the current locked buttons setting (thus letting you make sure the unit always starts up with the buttons locked). The IR remote’s LOCK and STORE buttons will always be active, giving another way to turn button/IR remote locking off.
The STANDBY/ON button will flash when the unit’s buttons are locked.
5.4.2 Restore power-on settings
Should your current settings not allow you to see the on-screen display (OSD), restoring the last-saved settings might be useful. This can be done by pressing STANDBY/ON and MENU at the same time until a single beep is heard.
5.4.3 Factory Reset
If you wish to restore all operational parameters to their original condition (for example, if saved settings prevent the unit from working with your display monitor), hold the STANDBY/ON and MENU buttons in together until at least two beeps are heard.
System Advanced menus [Off]
1T-C2 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
18
All stored settings except resolutions are lost when the unit is reset. A Firmware update is the only way to perform a complete factory reset (including resolution data).
5.4.4 Switching units between different resolutions using the front panel
Down converters will default to outputting NTSC after a Factory Reset, whilst Video and PC/HD Scalers will default to outputting XGA (1024x768 @ 60Hz).
Should your display or output device not support the default resolution, or if you wish to have quick access to an alternate resolution, the following button combinations below can be used.
For example, press MENU & FREEZE together on the 1T-C2-100 to select PAL. When you are happy with the output resolution selected, press and hold the MENU button in to store the current settings.
Please note that these changes will have no immediate effect if LOCK or MIX buttons are illuminated, as this means that the output resolution is locked to the Lock source.

6 VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The units have different video inputs and outputs depending on your model, and with the PC/HD output being either scaled, or just as a loop-through from the PC/HD input.
6.1 Computer & Video inputs
The PC/HD input can accept:
Analog RGBHV RGsB (sync on green) RGBS (composite sync at TTL levels) YUV/YPbPr (including tri-level)
In most cases, the particular input being used will be auto-detected. See ‘Adjust sources’ for more information on manually selecting an input type. On some units such as Video Scalers, the PC/HD input is there just to pass a PC signal through to the monitor in ‘bypass’ mode.
CV and YC inputs can accept either standard NTSC or PAL inputs – for example, from a video camera, VCR, DVD player, gaming device, etc. PAL and NTSC detection is automatic.
6.2 Computer & Video outputs
The units have a number of different outputs depending on the function of the unit – see earlier front and rear panel diagrams to see what is available on your unit.
The PC/HD output can use:
Analog RGBHV RGsB (sync on green)

RGBS (separate sync at TTL levels) YUV/YPbPr (including tri-level).
However, please note that on some units such as Down Converters, the PC/HD output is there just to loop the PC image through to the PC monitor. On Video and PC/HD Scalers, bypass mode (with the unit in Standby) will feed PC/HD input to the PC/HD output directly.
CV and YC outputs always function simultaneously and can be set to either standard NTSC or PAL – see ‘Adjust outputs’ for more information
