TVOne 9 Input Seamless Switcher: 3xDVI-I (RGB/YPbPr/YUV) (S-Video) C2-7100
C2-7100 provides all the functions of the C2-7110 with a different front panel. This version has ten programmable buttons and a shift key with removable key caps for flexible labeling. It is intended for applications where custom or restricted access to functions is desirable. The programmability of the buttons provides the ability to setup the unit to allow only specific functions to be accessed directly from the front panel buttons. This is particularly important in situations where public access to the unit is available
Setup and Control is extremely flexible. Local control is provided by the 48-button CORIO EXP Front Panel designed expressly for handling live events. These buttons plus the multi-way navigation control and integrated LCD bring all the control needed for quick and easy access right to the front panel. Remote control via RS-232 or Ethernet (IP) is standard. Macros are provided to facilitate complex command sequences. The Windows Control Panel affords complete control of the unit. The CC-300 CORIOconsole option takes control to the next level by providing the C2-7000 series with the operational feel of a traditional Video Production Switcher. Two rows of 14 buttons, a fader bar, joystick and an integrated LCD touch screen provide access to the powerful C2-7000 series functions with a minimum of keystrokes. Event control directly from the CC-300 is available by the integral interface to Calypso control systems. Virtually any third party device is controllable
Image Layer Processing within the C2-7000 series utilizes a multiple layer video display system whose stacking order can be altered as desired by the user. Using the dual PIP as an example, the layers consist of:
- 1 or 2 image windows (A & B) that can be resized and positioned as desired
- a lock source (the Z layer) which can be an active video or still image background
- 1 or 2 logo images (a & b)
- a color background
Should the user wish, the layers can be re-ordered (example: B in front of A) and the individual layers can also be made opaque, semi-opaque or transparent. Windows A & B can be positioned anywhere on the screen and used as either key sources or key background images. Logos a & b can also be positioned anywhere on the raster and have their appearance set to opaque normal keying or to semi-transparent for channel branding. When keying, the Z Layer may be moved from the background to the foreground.
Edge Blending is a standard feature of the C2-7000 series. Because of the ability to ‘feather' any or all of the edges, multiple images can be aligned vertically, horizontally, or both to create unusual displays. Since it is dual channel, only one unit is required to blend two edges. Using multiple C2 units, a large number of images can be blended. Edge Blending is not limited to high resolution RGB computer images, but can be applied to any input. Gamma correction is employed to compensate for many of the problems faced when blending between projectors. Special preparation of the video in advance is not necessary, since all processing is done within the unit.
Other products in the C2-7000 family
C2-7200 provides all the functions of the C2-7100, plus two SD/HD-SDI Inputs and two SD/HD-SDI Outputs.
C2-7210 provides all the functions of the C2-7110 plus two SD/HD-SDI Inputs and two SD/HD-SDI Outputs.
C2-7260 provides all the functions of the C2-7210 but with six additional HD-SDI Inputs for a total of 17 inputs.
C2-7310 provides all the features and functions of the C2-7210, plus 32 channels of integral stereo processing. This allows for simultaneous extraction of eight stereo channels from each of the two SD/HD-SDI inputs and embedding of eight stereo channels into each of the two SD/HD-SDI outputs. Due to the highly flexible internal audio routing, 32 stereo channels (16 in, 16 out) are not restricted for SDI use, but can be assigned to any of the other Composite, Component, YC, analog RGB or DVI inputs and outputs by using the optional A2-7000 units.
CC-300 CORIOconsole works with all C2 products.
