C2-2350A Universal Video Switcher/Scaler is based on TV One's exclusive CORIO2technology and provides high quality scaling in any direction between standard video, DVI orAnalog computer and HDTV signals. NTSC and PAL standards are supported. Input and Outputscan be Composite Video, YC, YUV Component, YPbPr (Progressive Scan) Component or RGB.Our exclusive AutoSet feature takes the hassle out of setup by automatically sizing and positioningthe computer image to fit exactly on the video screen. Signal parameters of the incoming videomay be adjusted. All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are retained even whenpower is switched off. The high resolution RGB/YPbPr outputs are selectable as any computerresolution up to 2048x2048 at any vertical refresh rate or any HDTV resolution up to 1080p.A wide variety of computer signal formats are available to support PC, Mac and Workstationformats. The C2-2355A provides HD/SD-SDI Input and Output in addition to all of the featuresof the C2-2350.
All the functions can be controlled via the front panel Push Buttons, an Infrared Control RemoteUnit or via an RS-232 or IP connection. A Windows Control Panel is provided and most third partycontrol systems interface directly with the entire C2 range of products. A front panel LCD makessetup easy.
PIP, Chromakey, Lumakey, Mixing and Genlock are among the advanced standard features. TheKey Mode allows computer graphics to be keyed over an external Composite or YC signal. Thekeyed image may be faded in and out. Due to the 4:4:4 sampling format, precise keying at thepixel level can be achieved. The Mix Mode permits glitch-free mixing between the computerimage and external video. The PIP Mode allows either of the computer inputs to be inset in awindow over either of the video inputs or visa versa. The PIP window may be placed anywhereon the screen. The Genlock feature insures precise synchronization of the incoming signals byproviding a wide Subcarrier lock range with Subcarrier phase adjustment. The C2-2000 seriesunits are housed in desktop cases and rackmount kits are available as an option.
Edge Blending is a standard feature of the C2-2350 and C2-2355. Because of the ability to`feather' any or all of the edges, multiple images can be aligned vertically, horizontally, or bothto create unusual displays. 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 toany input. Gamma correction is employed to compensate for many of the problems faced whenblending between projectors. Special preparation of the video in advance is not necessary, sinceall processing is done within the C2 unit.
Zooming into any area of the image, while maintaining high quality, is possible because of theunique CORIO®2 video sampling technology. Variable zoom can go up to 10x while VariableShrink can go down to 10%, both adjustable in one pixel steps. Pixel level position controls allowaccurate movement around any desired area. The advanced Digital Flicker Elimination circuitryand high sampling rate insures crisp, clear images, while full bandwidth chroma sampling insuresfaithfully reproduced, high resolution colors. Motion compensation and a 3:2 Pulldown feature forNTSC greatly improve the image quality.
Temporal Interpolation greatly improves conversion from one frame-rate to another by mergingmultiple frames of video information to create intermediate frames, which is vital for smoothlyscrolling images.
Diagonal Interpolation adds to the motion-compensated de-interlacing system to further improveimage quality by intelligently filling-in missing detail.
Stereo Audio switching is provided by an integral 4x1 audio routing switcher. The four impedanceindependentunbalanced inputs follow the video input selection. A rear panel terminal blockprovides access.
