3.0 CAPABILITY, TERMS OF REFERENCE AND OVERVIEW SUMMARY
3.1 Device Capabilities
The C2-7000 series of Dual Channel Video Processors uses the proprietary
CORIO®2 Engine to control its capabilities. The CORIO®2 series units are
the second generation of the successful CORIO® products. The CORIO®2
features are powerful tools for any application requiring high quality video
signal conversion or image manipulation.
Front and rear of the C2-7100
Each C2-7000 series unit features two independent video processing and
scaling engines (CORIO®2) and two video mixers for maximum flexibility in
handling DVI, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, YUV, YPbPr, CV and YC (S-Video)
signals. In addition, the C2-7200 range also supports SDI and HD-SDI.
Throughout this manual, any feature or function relating present on all C27000 units will be referred to by ‘C2-7000 series’. Any unit-specific functions
or features will be mentioned by specific product name.
At home in both broadcast and display environments the C2-7000 series is
multiple products in one unit. The unit has three basic operating modes to
simplify control.
Switcher Mode- Equally powerful Program and Preview channels allow any
function (next Image, PIP, keying, logo, etc) to be set up and previewed,
totally independent of the Program output. Transition from Preview to
Program is by Cut, Dissolve or Special Effect when the user performs a Take.
Independent Mode - Provides all the power of two completely independent
video processors in one box, each with a full range of features including PIP,
keying, etc. Each output can deliver different formats and resolutions
simultaneously to the other. For example, a presentation being fed to a highresolution display on Output 1 via DVI can be fed to a VCR for recording on
Output 2 via Composite Video.
Dual PIP Mode - Any video input can be squeezed and placed into either of
two windows of any size and positioned anywhere on the screen, even
overlapping each other with user defined layer priority control. The windows
can be placed over any other video input as the background. The images in
the windows can then be seamlessly switched or zoomed. Keying can be
applied to each window independently.
C2-7000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
14
General Topography - 4:4:4 RGB sampling provides full bandwidth color,
which allows precise keying, including transparent (soft) Keys. The basic
unit’s 9 video inputs accommodate multiple analog and digital video and
computer signal formats and resolutions. It handles all known HDTV formats
and any RGB resolution up to 2048x2048 -not just some predefined ones, but
virtually ANY resolution. Each of the two independent outputs delivers DVI-I,
RGBHV (or RGBS or RGsB), YUV, YPbPr, Composite and YC (S-Video).
Ultimate flexibility- The C2-7000 series’ output signal format flexibility
assures that the native resolution of virtually any digital 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. Dedicated memory is included for multiple
integral Testcards and Logos, so the unit can easily be used as a logo
inserter. The C2-7000 series employs pixel adaptive motion compensation to
de-interlace fast moving images and its automatic 3:2 Pull-down efficiently deinterlaces video from 24 fps NTSC film.
Simple Control - The unit can be controlled from the front panel, via RS-232
or ethernet. The previously mentioned Windows Control Panel (available for
download from our Internet site) affords complete control of the unit and adds
Scripting to facilitate long, complex sequence of commands. Finally, hardware
based, switcher-like CORIO® Console allows a user to control the unit from
hardware, mimicking a classic video switcher device.
3.2 Terms of Reference
In order to operate the C2-7000 series, agreement on terminology is required.
To avoid confusion as you read through this manual, here are the terms of
reference used throughout.
Input Sources: At least nine signal inputs are available (11 on the C2-
7200/7210 and 17 on the C2-7260) and each of these are buffered and
made available to the unit’s video processor. The user can modify
numerous input signal parameters. In addition, the device can
determine the signal format of each input automatically so long as the
signal formats are commonly accepted worldwide standards.
Layers: Imagery is arranged in six layers and made available to the
device’s outputs. The degree of transparency can be set to make
individual layers opaque, semi-transparent or fully transparent. In
addition, with the exception of the 6thlayer (background color), the
layers can be positioned as desired in the ‘stack’ so that the user can
create any relationship he or she desires.
Modes: There are three modes of operation: Switcher, Independent
and Dual Picture in Picture (Dual PIP). In Switcher mode, inputs and
manipulations are shown on one output immediately and transferred to
C2-7000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
15
the second output when a ‘Take’ button is pressed. In the Independent
mode, input selections and manipulations are made to appear on the
two outputs independently yielding two separate signal paths. In the
Dual PIP mode, the functionality of both processors is combined to
provide two Picture in Picture windows. The outputs are comprised of
the same signals but different key and fade values can be set for each
of the unit’s outputs.
Processor: Refers to the CORIO®2 processing engine within the unit
of which there are two. Each is able to scale, shrink, zoom and adjust
the selected input source.
Outputs: There are two output channels provided, each channel
comprising of a DVI-D, RGBHV, Composite, and YC output. The
function of each output channel depends on the mode of operation
selected. The user can select the output signal format as desired and
can set the signal resolution (except for PAL/NTSC signals).
Windows:Windows are containers for the input signals. They can be
sized and positioned as required within the output window.
3.3 Device Overview
The C2-7000 series provides a means for the user to select sources from the
inputs and present them to the two outputs in various ways. The imagery on
the outputs is comprised of the video layers of live (moving) video plus static
video sources such as internally stored logos and testcards.
The outputs are then further defined by the operational mode selected:
Switcher, Independent and Dual PIP (Picture in Picture).

3.4 Models available
There are different models in the C2-7000 series – either incorporating a
number of SDI inputs / output or not, or using a 10-way programmable button
panel or 48-key non-programmable front panel.
The following pictures detail the differences between the units:

3.5 Input Sources
The C2-7000 series accepts a very wide range of input types. Adaptors are
provided to allow configuration of the device to accept and process virtually
any image source. The device will automatically identify the signal type or
image resolution for virtually any input and manual intervention is possible for
many non-standard inputs.
Valid processor inputs also include sources not associated with the input
connectors. Firstly there are multiple test cards which are stored within the
device’s non-volatile memory for later recall. Secondly it is even possible to
internally cascade one output using it as the Input Source for the second
processor.
3.6 Outputs
Two Outputs are provided on the C2-7000 series. The user can select the
type of output signal desired for each Output and each Output can be
adjusted independently of the other. The exact function of the Output depends
on the mode as explained previously.
3.7 Windows
Windows can be thought of as containers for imagery. Input selections from
the various connectors as well as integration of internal sources such as
Logos are all part of the Windowing capabilities of the C2-7000 series.
There are two scalable windows available for use, ‘A’ and ‘B’––one for each
processor in the C2-7000 series–– and each is part of the layering hierarchy
used in the C2-7000 series. Images can be zoomed, shrunk, keyed,
positioned and scaled within the Window or as a part of the Window. There is
also a Lock Source Window ‘Z’, plus Logo ‘a’ and Logo ‘b’ none of which are
re-sizeable.
The Window itself can be thought of as a hole cut into the overall output
image. The edges of the cut out can be hard or soft and the nature of the
Window itself can be opaque, semi-transparent or invisible depending on how
the various Layers, Fade levels and Keyers are set up.
Within the nomenclature that follows, the Windows will be associated with one
or both of the two Outputs as explained in the section detailing Modes of
Operation.
Windows are an integral part of the C2-7000 series and play a central part in
understanding how to operate the device.

3.8 Layers
There are six image layers comprising of two static logo sources (stored
internally in the device), two scalable windows that contain video, a lock
source and, finally, a color background which is always the 6thlayer.
The image layers are given designators for the purposes of identification
when operating the C2-7000 series. The designators are case sensitive. The
letters and their meanings are as follows:
Since the color background layer is always layer number six, it can’t be
moved and is given no designator. In the factory default condition, the layers
are arrayed as shown:
Color Background
Z (Lock Source)
B
A
b
a
With the exception of the color background layer, the layers can be re-ordered
so that different orientations are displayed. For example, the combination
shown below could be created which would mean that the Window “A” layer
would have primacy over all the others:
Window Description
a Logo “a” (Static - not scaled)
b Logo “b” (Static – not scaled)
A Window “A” (Live – scalable)
B Window “B” (Live – scalable)
Z Window Z Lock Source (Live – not scaled)
C2-7000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
19
Color Background
Z (Lock Source)
B
b
a
A
The degree of transparency of any of the layers can be changed so that the
layer(s) beneath are visible, semi-visible or invisible. As an example, if layer
“A” above were expanded to cover all of the available image area and made
fully opaque, none of the layers beneath it would be visible. By the same
token, if Layer “A” were made semi-transparent, the layers beneath would be
dimly visible. Should layer “A” be made fully transparent, then it would seem
to disappear completely.
The powerful Keyer function of the C2-7000 series takes advantage of this
feature to superimpose portions of one window over another. Portions of a
layer are made semi-transparent or invisible. Certain colors are made invisible
the result is one image appears to float above another on the layer stack.
3.9 Modes
The three modes available in the C2-7000 series are Switcher Mode,
Independent Mode and Dual Picture in Picture (Dual PIP) mode.
3.9.1 Switcher Mode
The switcher mode configures the two outputs to function in a familiar preview
and program arrangement. The output in this mode is actually a display of a
single Window (A), optional Lock Source (Z) and optional Logo (a). The
Window (B) and Logo (b) are used internally for program / preview processing
and as such are unavailable to the user.
When an input selection is made, it instantly appears on Output 2––a Preview
Output––but no action is taken on Output 1. The “Program” Output (Output 1)
retains the last image selected when in the Switcher mode until the user
presses button number 2 on the front panel. Button number 2 is the ‘Take”
button when in the Switcher mode and pressing it causes the image present
on Output 2 to also appear on Output 1. Special control logic within the C2-
C2-7000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
20
7000 series allows the movement of the image from Output 2 to Output 1 to
be either instantaneous or the new Output 1 image can gradually replace the
previous image on Output 1 via a cross fade or a wipe. The time available for
the cross-fade or wipe can be up to 5 seconds, controlled in .1-second
increments.
3.9.2 Independent Mode
In the Independent mode, the dual processor circuitry is divided into two
separate but equal signal processors. Window “A” and Logo “a” is dedicated
to Output 1 and Window “B” and Logo “b” is dedicated to Output 2. Each of
the Outputs can have a separate Lock Source (Layer Component Z), separate
Color Background and separate Input Sources.
Graphically, the two Outputs layers will appear as shown:
Color Background – Output 1
1Z Lock Source
Window “1A”
Logo “1a”
Color Background – Output 2
2Z Lock Source
Window “2B”
Logo “2b”
From the drawings above, it can be seen that a limited layering scheme is in
place while in the independent mode. You can utilize the transparency feature
and the Keyer capability on each Output to make any portion of the window
visible.
You can use the input buttons to select the images held within the windows
and the selection process would be for only one output without having an
effect on the other.
Similarly, you can make the Color Background layer different colors or cover it
with a Lock Source or Window.
Finally, the logo generator can be employed to superimpose a logo over each
Output independently.
3.9.3 Dual PIP Mode
In the dual Picture In Picture mode, the same Lock Source (Layer Component
Z) is applied to both Outputs 1 and 2. The Imagery present on those Outputs
therefore will be locked to the single Lock Source even though there are two
Outputs available.
C2-7000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
21
From a practical standpoint, this means that there is only one lock source
available and both outputs will contain the same lock source imagery.
The Keyers can adjust the components of each Window independently so as
to make a portion of the underlying Window pierce the overlaying Window and
the logos can be used as desired in the Output imagery.
Two Windows are available, “A” and “B”, on each of the two Outputs. Each
Output displays the Windows at the same position and sizing. By changing
the order of the layers either PIP can be placed in front of the other and the
balance of the layers can be utilized as well.
Color Background – Output 1
1Z Lock Source
Logo “1a”
Logo “1b”
Window “1B”
Window “1A”
Color Background – Output 2
2Z Lock Source
Logo “2a”
Logo “2b”
Window “2B”
Window “2A”
Inputs switched into Windows “A”, “B” and “Z” appear on both outputs (in
other words, the imagery present in Window 1A is the same as 2A and the
imagery present in Window 1B is the same as that present in Window 2B).
Positions and sizing is also the same for both Outputs however you can utilize
independent Keying, fading and layering on each output.

Power is never totally removed from the unit when it’s plugged into an active
AC outlet. Pressing the button at the extreme right on the front panel only
places the unit in a powered down mode. This button is a standby switch, not
a true off and on switch. Never remove the unit from a cabinet unless the unit
has been completely disconnected from AC power.
5.2 Factory Reset
For the 10-key programmable front panel: to restore all operational
parameters to their original condition, first ensure the unit’s in the operational
mode, green power led illuminated (not in Standby red power led illuminated).
If it is in the operational mode, hold the standby switch and then hold Buttons
“1” and “2” until the unit beeps.
For the 48-key front panel: to restore all operational parameters to their
original condition, first ensure the unit’s in the operational mode (not in
Standby red power led illuminated). If it is in the operational mode, hold in the
SHIFT and RESTORE buttons together until the unit beeps multiple times –
the first beep indicates that a restore to last-saved settings has occurred, the
second that a factory reset has occured.
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
5.3 Initial Operation Check Using Factory Default Settings
The C2-7000 series can be operated via the Front Panel Buttons, an LCD
display and a Rotary Encoder or multi-directional switch (depending on your
front panel version), via a Windows based utility or via a dedicated CORIO®
Console hat mimics the operation of a classic video switcher. For the
purposes of initially acquainting you with the operation of the unit, this manual
will address the operation using the Front Panel controls.
Connect the AC power cable to the unit. (Refer to the diagram below. The AC
power cable connects to the socket labeled “Power 100v – 240v 47-63Hz”
located on the left side of the rear panel as shown.)
We’ll be using a Personal Computer for a signal source. Make certain that the
monitor resolution can display 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz as this is the default output
resolution for the C2-7000 series.
