Overview

The C2-2855 Universal Scaler Plus is first in a new generation of high
performance scalers that provides best-in-class video scaling and format
conversion along with revolutionary, intuitive user interface tools. The crystal
clear OLED display intuitively guides users through setup and control using
color-modulated, backlit buttons. Alternatively, a graphic user interface

for
computer or tablet can be used to set up and control the unit remotely via IP.
RS232 is also provided as a direct control interface for 3rd party control systems.
The video performance of the C2-2855 is based on tvONE’s exclusive
CORIO®2 technology, which provides high quality bi-directional conversion and
switching between a wide variety of analog and digital video formats. Living up
to its designation as a “Universal Scaler” the C2-2855 supports SD/HD/3G-SDI,
HDMI, DVI, Composite Video, YC, YUV, YPbPr or RGB, on both inputs and
outputs, and the signal parameters of the incoming video may be adjusted. The
high resolution RGB/YPbPr output is selectable at virtually any PC or HDTV
resolution and NTSC, PAL, PAL-M, and PAL-N standards are all supported. Crisp,
clear images are ensured by a high sampling rate and advanced Digital Flicker
Elimination circuitry on CV & YC outputs, while full bandwidth chroma sampling
ensures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors. Motion compensation,
diagonal interpolation and a 3:2 Pull-down feature provide for the best possible
NTSC image quality, while temporal interpolation refines frame-rate conversion by
merging successive frames.
Designed for commercial 24/7/365 use, the C2-2855 automatically stores all
settings in non-volatile memory for automatic restoration of the most recent
settings even when power is switched off. Twelve user-defined presets are
readily available for instant, on-the-fly adjustment to diverse customized
applications.
tvONE’s AutoSet feature automatically sizes and positions computer images to
fit exactly on the video display, and the 10X Variable Zoom can enlarge and
position any part of an input to fill the entire video output display. Variable
Shrink with as much as 90% size reduction allows almost any image to fit on the
tiniest screen.
Advanced Features - Keying allows one input to be keyed over a second input.
The keyed image may be faded in and out. Precise keying at the pixel level is
possible due to 4:4:4 sampling format for RGB sources. Transitions permit
Seamless Cut, Fade or Wipe transitions when switching between input sources.
Picture-In-Picture (PIP) functionality allows an input to be inset in a window over
a second input or vice versa, and the PIP window may be placed anywhere on
the screen. Genlock ensures precise synchronization of the incoming signals.
Audio - Integral Stereo Audio switching is provided by an integral 4x1 audio
routing switcher. The four impedance-independent unbalanced inputs follow
the video input selection. A rear panel terminal block and a 3.5mm jack-socket
provides access.
Embedded Audio Support allows any audio input to be embedded on all
outputs which support embedded audio data (HDMI/DVI-U/SDI).
The unit is housed in a desktop case and can be rack-mounted with an optional
19-inch rackmount kit that holds one or two units.
