2.0 BELANGRIJKE VEILIGHEIDSINSTRUCTIES
Lees deze handleiding zorgvuldig door om het beste uit uw product te halen.
Bewaar het op een veilige plek voor raadpleging in de toekomst.
Haal nooit het omhulsel van de eenheid af, dit om de kans op een elektrische
schok te verminderen. Maak het apparaat nooit open: er bevinden zich geen
door de gebruiker in te stellen onderdelen in het apparaat. Laat service en
onderhoud over aan een gekwalificeerde technicus.
2.1 Elektriciteit en aansluiting
Dit toestel moet worden aangesloten op een netcontactdoos met een
aardsluitingsbeveiliging.
Deze eenheid is niet van de wisselstroom voedingsbron gescheiden wanneer
de stekker nog in het stopcontact zit. Wanneer de eenheid uitstaat, staat deze
nog in de stand-by modus. In de stand-by modus vergt de eenheid minder
stroom dan in de normale "aan" modus.
Wanneer u de eenheid voor langere tijd niet gebruikt, zorg er dan voor dat de
stekker van het wisselstroomsnoer uit het stopcontact is getrokken.
Het wisselstroom stopcontact moet dichtbij de eenheid geïnstalleerd worden
en makkelijk toegankelijk zijn.
Als de eenheid duidelijk beschadigd is moet u deze nooit op het lichtnet
aansluiten of bedienen.
2.2 Water en vocht
Om het risiko op brand en persoonlijk letsel te beperken is het gebruik van dit
apparaat buiten en/of blootstelling aan regen, water of overdadige
hoeveelheden vocht uitdrukkelijk verboden.
Het apparaat mag niet worden blootgesteld aan druppels of bespatting en er
mogen geen objecten die gevuld zijn met vloeistoffen, zoals vazen, op het
apparaat geplaatst worden.

C2-7000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
12
2.3 Algemeen onderhoud
Forceer schakelaars of externe aansluitingen nooit.
Bij verplaatsing van de eenheid, de seriële poortaansluitingen eerst
loskoppelen, dan de voedingskabel en als laatste de snoeren naar andere
apparaten.
Probeer de eenheid nooit met chemische oplosmiddelen of
schoonmaakmiddelen in een spuitbus schoon te maken, omdat dit de eenheid
kan beschadigen. Gebruik een schone droge doek.
2.4 Plaatsing
Deze eenheid moet geïnstalleerd worden op een koele droge plaats, uit de
buurt van bronnen van extreme hitte, vibraties, stof, vocht en kou.
2.5 Ventilatie
De sleuven en openingen aan de zijkant van de eenheid zijn voor ventilatie.
Zorg er voor dat de eenheid op een goed geventileerde plek geïnstalleerd
wordt zodat deze betrouwbaar werkt.
2.6 Intellectueel eigendom
Sommige IC chips in dit product bevatten vertrouwelijke informatie en/of
fabrieksgeheimen. U mag daarom de inhoud hiervan niet kopiëren, wijzigen,
aanpassen, vertalen, verspreiden, nabouwen, of decompileren.

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 C2-
7000 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 high-
resolution 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 de-
interlaces 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.
