C2-2100 Down Converter is based on TV One’s
exclusive CORIO2™ technology and provides high
quality scan conversion from DVI or Analog Computer o
r
HDTV signals to standard video formats. It handles any
computer resolution up to 2048x2048 at any vertical
refresh rate and all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. In
order to deal with PC, Mac and most Compute
r
Workstation signals, a wide variety of computer signal
formats can be accommodated. Video outputs are
switchable between NTSC and PAL and are
simultaneously provided in Composite, S-Video and
YUV Component. Alternatively, the output can be YPbP
r
Component (Progressive Scan). A PC loop-thru is also
provided. C2-2105 provides an SDI output as well.
Our exclusive AutoSet® feature takes the hassle out o
f
setup by automatically sizing and positioning the
computer image to fit exactly on the video screen. All
settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are
retained even when power is switched off. All the
functions can be controlled via the front panel Push
Buttons, an Infrared Control Remote Unit or via an RS-
232 or IP connection. A Windows Control Panel is
provided and most third party control systems interface
directly with the entire C2 range of products.
A
front
panel LCD makes setup easy.
Variable Zoom to 10X allows you to enlarge any part o
f
the computer screen to fill the entire video screen and
position controls allow you to move around to any area
desired. Variable Shrink to as little as 10% allows fitting
the image onto most displays. The advanced Digital
Flicker Elimination circuitry and high sampling rate
insures crisp, clear images, while full bandwidth chroma
sampling insures faithfully reproduced, high resolution
colors. C2-2000 series units are housed in desktop
cases and rackmount kits are available as options.
The Genlock feature insures precise synchronization o
f
the incoming signals by providing a wide Subcarrier lock
range with Subcarrier phase adjustment
C2-2150 Down Converter PLUS has all the functions
and features of the C2-2100 and adds a wide variety o
f
additional capabilities, such as Picture-In-Picture,
Chromakey, Lumakey and Mix. The Key Mode allows
computer graphics to be keyed over an external
Composite or S-Video signal. The keyed image may be
faded in and out. Due to the 4:4:4 sampling format,
precise keying at the pixel level can be achieved. The
Mix Mode permits glitch-free mixing between the
computer image and external video. The PIP Mode
allows either of the computer inputs to be inset in a
window over either of the video inputs. The C2-2155
provides an SDI output as well.
Input Expansion is available for all models by choosing
the appropriate S2 Series Input Switcher, which links to
the main unit via an Options Interconnect Cable. The
routing of these additional inputs is controlled directly
from the C2-2000 Series converter’s control system.

Unlike most manufacturers, who use third party chipsets
to provide video conversion, TV One has developed its
own proprietary technology known as CORIO2™. This
frees TV One products from the constraints imposed b
y
third parties and results in an unsurpassed degree o
f
flexibility. Products based on third party chipsets have a
feature set frozen at the introduction of the product.
Since the CORIO2™ video processing engine is entirely
firmware based, it can be upgraded at any time by
downloading the latest firmware version form the suppor
t
website and flash upgrading the unit in the field. This
enables new features to be added to units many years
after the initial purchase. This “obsolescence insurance”
means that a CORIO2™ based product can always be
upgraded to the latest version of that model.
This symbol on a product indicates that it is
powered by CORIO2™ technology, the mos
t
flexible video processing engine now available.
