3 CAPABILITY, DEVICE FEATURES AND PRODUCT
FEATURES
3.1 Device Capabilities
The C2-2000 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.
Units with an ‘A’ suffix offer enhanced functionality by extending the DVI resolution up to 1920x1200@60Hz, supporting HD-SDI on those models that are SDI equipped, and supporting HDCP on units with DVI inputs and outputs.
All units are at one in the home and broadcast & display environments. The C2­2000 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 C2-2000 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
13
C2-2000 / C2-2000ASERIES OPERATION MANUAL
Keying, Picture in Picture (PIP), Fading, and the facility to switch between overlaying the foreground over the background and vice versa – background/foreground priority.
Universal Scaler PLUS
This ‘all in one’ converter unit 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 C2-2000 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 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 or via Ethernet (on certain Models) 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 C2-2000 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
14
C2-2000 / C2-2000ASERIES OPERATION MANUAL
heart of the image processing hardware – the CORIO®2 scaling engine. See
http://www.tvone.com/support for more detail.

These button combinations only work when the unit is switched on and active i.e. with the STANDBY/ON LED is off. They will not work in Standby mode, or during power-up.
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 control 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
This can be done (without having to turn off the unit) by pressing STANDBY/ON and the multi-directional switch 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 the multi-directional switch in together until two beeps are heard.
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 (NTSC, PAL and Default)
Down converters will default to outputting NTSC after a Factory Reset, whilst Video Scalers will default to outputting XGA (1024x768 @ 60Hz). Should your display or output source not support the default resolution, or if you wish to have quick access to an alternate resolution, the following methods below can be used. When you are
happy with the output resolution selected, press and hold the multi-directional switch 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.
Each button combination uses the RGB button, plus one of the top-left 3 buttons, as shown in the diagram below. The first three top left buttons on each unit have different functions. For this instance they will be know as button 1, button 2, and button 3.

5.4.5 Forcing NTSC output resolution
Press and hold the RGB button and button 1 together, then release. This is not available for up-scalers.
5.4.6 Forcing PAL output resolution
Press and hold the RGB button and button 2 together, then release. This is not available for up-scalers.
5.4.7 Forcing default output resolution
Press and hold the RGB button and button 3 together, then release. The default output resolution depends on the type of unit you have – see above.

6 VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The C2-2000 series has a number of different inputs and outputs – see earlier front and rear panel diagrams to see what is available on your unit.
6.1 Computer & Video inputs
PC/HD inputs can accept:
Analog RGBHVRGsB (sync on green)RGBS (separate 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 RGB input is there just to loop the PC image through to the PC monitor in ‘bypass’ mode.
YUV/YPbPr (component) inputs can also be switched to RGsB (sync on green) mode if desired – see ‘Adjust sources’ for more information on manually selecting an input type.
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.
The DVI-D input accepts DVI digital connections (but on a DVI-I socket for added flexibility). An EDID signal is used to ensure that the PC or DVD player outputting the DVI signal knows the available range of resolutions in the unit.
SDI inputs accept 270Mbit/s serial digital interface links – effectively either at NTSC or PAL resolutions.

Enhanced ‘A’ units also accept HD-SDI (1.485Gbit/s) on their SDI inputs.
6.2 Computer & Video outputs
The PC/HD output can use:
Analog RGBHVRGsB (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 RGB output is there just to loop the PC image through to the PC monitor. On Video Scalers, bypass mode (with the unit in Standby) will feed PC/HD in to PC/HD out directly.
YUV/YPbPr (component) outputs can also be switched to RGsB (sync on green) mode if desired -see ‘Adjust outputs’ for more information.
CV and YC outputs always function simultaneously and can be set to either standard NTSC or PAL – see ‘Adjust outputs’ for more information. Note that
RGB/YUV/YPbPr outputs also function in this mode. The DVI-I output offers both digital DVI and analog RGBHV on a DVI-I socket for
added flexibility. SDI outputs use standard 270Mbit/s serial digital interface links – effectively either
at NTSC or PAL resolutions - see ‘Adjust outputs’. Enhanced ‘A’ units can also output HD-SDI (1.485Gbit/s) on their SDI outputs.
6.3 Audio inputs and outputs
Certain models (C2-2200, C2-2250, C2-2350) support audio switching, simultaneous with video switching. This means that audio input 1 might switch at the same time as RGB1, audio input 2 with YC1, etc. Each audio input connector can be configured to be ‘linked’ to a particular video input connector, so that they switch together.
Once switched, the audio input connector is linked to the audio output connector with no audio processing or buffering taking place. The only processing that is performed is ‘click-less’ operation.
