Tv One C2-160 Datasheet

C2-160 PCI/ISA Card Down Converter is based on TV

One’s exclusive CORIO®2 technology and provides high quality scan conversion from Computer or HDTV signals to standard video formats in a compact package. It handles virtually any computer resolution up to 2048x2048 at any vertical refresh rate and all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p.

wide variety of compute signal formats are available to support PC, Mac and Workstation formats. Video outputs are switchable between NTSC and PAL and are simultaneously provided in Composite and YC. A PC loop-thru is also provided.

Our exclusive AutoSet feature takes the hassle out o setup by automatically sizing and positioning the computer image to fit exactly on the video screen. All settings can be stored in non-volatile memory and are retained even when power is switched off. All the functions can be controlled via an optional Infrared Remote Control Unit or an RS-232 connection. Windows Control Panel is provided and most third party control systems interface directly with the entire C2 range of products. An On-Screen Display is available to assist in setup.

Variable Zoom to 10X allows you to enlarge any part o the computer screen to fill the entire video screen and position controls allow you to move around to any area desired. Variable Shrink to as little as 10% allows fitting the image onto most displays. The advanced Digital Flicker Elimination circuitry and high sampling rate insures crisp, clear images, while full bandwidth chroma sampling insures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors. The C2-160 plugs into a vacant slot inside a PC and receives its power from a standard Hard Drive connector within the PC.

The C2-160 also features a wide variety of additional capabilities, such as Genlock, Chromakey and Lumakey. The Key Mode allows computer graphics to be keyed over an external Composite or YC signal. The keyed image may be faded in and out. Due to the 4:4:4 sampling format, precise keying at the pixel level can be achieved. The Mix Mode permits glitch-free mixing between the computer image and external video. The PIP Mode allows the computer input to be inset in a window over either of the video inputs.

The Genlock feature insures precise synchronization o the incoming signals by providing a wide Subcarrier lock range with Subcarrier phase adjustment.

The unit is provided with a single break-out cable incorporating all of the required PC and video inputs and outputs, along with RS232.

This symbol on a product indicates that it is powered by CORIO®2 technology, the most

flexible video processing engine now available. Unlike most manufacturers, who use third party chipsets to provide video conversion, TV One has developed its own proprietary technology known as CORIO®2. This frees TV One products from the constraints imposed b third parties and results in an unsurpassed degree o flexibility. Products based on third party chipsets have a feature set frozen at the introduction of the product. Since the CORIO®2 video processing engine is entirely firmware based; it can be upgraded at any time by downloading the latest firmware version form the suppor website and flash upgrading the unit in the field. This enables new features to be added to units many years after the initial purchase. This “obsolescence insurance” means that a CORIO®2 based product can always be upgraded to the latest version of that model.
