C2-2100A Down Converter is based on TV One’s
exclusive CORIO®2 technology and provides high
quality conversion from DVI and analog PC or HD
sources to standard video formats. The input can be an
y
analog computer resolution up to 2048x2048 and 1080p
or any DVI resolution up to 1920x1200 and 1080p.
A
wide variety of computer signal formats are available to
support PC, Mac and Workstation formats. Our exclusive
A
utoSet feature takes the hassle out of setup by
automatically sizing and positioning the computer image
to fit exactly on the video screen. An analog compute
r
input signal bypass (loop-thru) is also provided. The
output is simultaneously available in Composite, S-Video
(YC), YUV and YPbPr. NTSC, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N,
SECAM output standards are supported. The C2-2105A
provides an SD/HD-SDI output as well as all the othe
r
features of the C2-2100A.
All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are
retained even when power is switched off. Ten use
r
defined presets are also available to customize settings
for various applications.
A
ll the functions can be
controlled via the front panel Push Buttons, Infrared,
RS-232 or IP. 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. The unit is housed in a desktop case
and an optional rackmount kit is available that holds one
or two units.
Variable Zoom to 10X enlarges any part of the compute
r
screen to fill the entire video screen and position controls
allow movement to any area desired. Variable Shrink to
as little as 10% allows fitting the image onto mos
t
displays. The advanced Digital Flicker Elimination
circuitry and high sampling rate insures crisp, clea
r
images, while full bandwidth chroma sampling insures
faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors. Temporal
interpolation greatly improves frame rate conversion by
analyzing and merging successive frames. Pixel Level
Motion Adaptive Diagonal Interpolation insures high
quality de-interlacing of PAL and NTSC signals. The
Composite Video Genlock feature insures precise
synchronization of the incoming signals by providing a
wide Subcarrier lock range with SC phase adjustment.
C2-2150A Advanced Features - In addition to all
standard C2-2100A features. The Key Mode allows
computer graphics to be keyed over an external
Composite or YC 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 Seamless Cut, Fade or Wipe transitions
between input sources. The PIP Mode allows either o
f
the computer inputs to be inset in a window over eithe
r
of the video inputs or vice versa. The PIP window may
be placed anywhere on the screen. The C2-2155A
provides an SD/HD-SDI Output as well as all the othe
r
features of the C2-2150A.

•Integral 4x1 Stereo Audio Routing Switcher
•RS-232 and IP Interface & Windows Control Panel
•Variable Image Zoom to 10X and Shrink to 10%
•Genlock With Subcarrier Phase Adjustment
•Mix, PIP, Chroma/Lumakey on models C2-2150A
and C2-2155A
•Optional IR Remote Control
•Optional Single/Dual Rackmount Kit
•Optional Input Expansion with S2 Switchers
Input Expansion is possible by using the optional S2
Series Input Expansion Switchers for DVI o
r
RGB/YPbPr. These units link to C2 unit via an
OPTIONS Interconnect Cable and become an integral
part of the main unit from a control and operational
standpoint. The routing of these additional inputs is
controlled directly from the control system of the C2 unit
and multiple different S2 models may be simultaneousl
y
connected.
Advanced Stereo Audio processing and switching is
available via the optional S2-106AD Input Expansion
Switcher, providing six differential audio inputs, which
can be used for low impedance balanced or high
impedance unbalanced sources. The user controls
audio level, audio sampling frequencies and up to
999ms of adjustable audio delay independently for each
input. The unit has numerous choices for audio I/O
connectors, including a terminal block. The S2-106AD
connects to the C2 unit via the OPTIONS interconnec
t
cable and is then fully integrated into the control system
of the host unit.
