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
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.
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

4.7 C2-2x55 Architecture
The C2-2x55 range uses CORIO™2.5 technology at its core for control of Inputs, Outputs,
Scaling, Layering, Audio Management, Still Images and Logo Layering.

15 | P a g e
The six video inputs are spread across three gateways into the scaler together with three
output gateways to manage the five video outputs. Using the Universal DVI (DVI-U) Input
and Output additional connectivity is possible directly for DVI-D, DVI-A and via Dongle for
HDMI, PC/HD, CV & YC connection.
Note;
C2-2655 does not support SDI Input. The C2-2755 only supports DVI-I output and does not support SDI, YC and CV
outputs.
Audio Input is possible via Phoenix Connectors (3 x stereo) and also via a 3.5mm Line
Input (1 x Stereo). Audio Output is via Phoenix Connectors (1 x Stereo) or on any format
supporting embedded audio (HDMI, DVI-D + SDI).
Within the CORO 2.5 Scaler it is possible to add Still Images and Logos together with
defining a Back Color.

4.8.1 Universal DVI
Universal DVI (DVI-U) is a tvONE led standard that uses a series of DVI adaptors to
connect to a wide range of digital and analog signals even those with embedded audio.

This gives great flexibility for end users and gives you instant access to additional inputs
and outputs:
Digital: HDMI, DVI-D, DVI-A
Analogue: RGBHV, RGBs, YUV, YPbPr, CV and Y/C
HDMI
Composite Video
PC/HD (RGBHV, RGBs, YUV)

5 Panel Interface
5.1 Panel Overview
The front panel uses a powerful combination of coordinated menus and colored backlit
buttons to immediately indicate the unit state.
All modes can be accessed using the context sensitive, front panel buttons. The buttons
can be used for multiple functions and light up in different colors to indicate the current unit
state.
5.2 Using the C2-2x55
The C2-2x55 is designed to be commissioned using the Setup menus and then used in
Live mode.
In Live mode the numbered buttons are used to select the various
sources.
Alternatively if the Preset button is toggled, the same buttons can be
used to recall Presets.
By pressing and holding the ‘Alt’ Selection button you can quickly access
a Shortcuts menu where the most frequently used menu items can be
easily accessed by the numeric keypad.
The six options are:
1:
Views…
Select the Primary and Background sources, Fullscreen/Picture in
Picture Settings, Genlock, Framelock, Zoom, Size, Opacity, Crop,
Border & Opacity.
2:
Keying
Enables keying as per the Live menu keying settings.
3:
Freeze
Freezes the Primary Video.
4:
Logos…
Enabling Logo layering, Logo Positioning, Opacity, Logo Border.
5:
Source…
Used to change the Primary and Background Sources.
6:
Audio…
Selects the audio input to be embedded on the video output.

5.3 OLED Panel Overview
The OLED displayed menu displays a host of useful information on its four line display.
The OLED display shows where you are within the menu
structure and the current set up of the unit.
The current menu position is shown as a dynamic menu tree
with the selected menu shown on the left.
The status indicators shows the current set up of the unit
including layering control, Keying, Freeze and Logo
selection.
When navigating through menus, menus are displayed on
black, light grey or dark grey:

5.4 Primary/Background Indicators
On the OLED display there are a number of useful indicators that show the current set up of the
Primary and Background layers.
The current state of the settings on the Primary and
Secondary layers are indicated in the display:

The Setup menu is typically used by the unit Installer to configure the system settings,
while the Shortcuts and Live menus provide operator functionality:-
Menu
Functions
Setup
System Settings, Inputs, Outputs, Layers, Presets
and Transitions
Live
Preset Recall, Source Selection, Picture-in-Picture
(PIP) Control, Swapping Layers, Audio Routing,
Logo Selection, Image Freezing and Fade to Black.
Shortcuts
Quick access to Views, Keying on/off, Freeze on/off,
Logos, video Source Selection and Audio sources
More information on the menus can be found in later chapters of this manual.
6.1 Layering Control
The C2-2x55 can control
layering of Logo’s, Primary &
Background video and a Color
Field. This adds great flexibility
to simple control of layering and
external referencing.
The Primary Layer can have
Scaling, keying and Aspect
Ratio Correction (ARC) applied.
Using the available layers it is possible use Layer Swapping and Scaling to make changes
using a variety of sources:

6.2 Swapping Layers
For simple layer priority control between two active layers there is a Swap command –this
allows P/B (Primary over Background) or B/F (Background over Primary).
Primary/Background
Swap is most commonly used when
you want to key over a Still Image (SIS)
as a SIS can only applied to the
Primary layer.
In this example we have a weather
map still (SIS) and a video input of a
presenter.
Background/Primary
Simply set the Layer priority to B/F
(Background over Primary) and then go
to Keying (also in the Live menu) and
apply your key.
6.3 Genlock & Framelock & Hiding
It is possible to view or lock sources. The current set up of
the unit is displayed in the OLED display.
If only a Primary source is configured, then full controlling of scaling and output resolutions
is possible. When both a Primary and Background source are used the output must be
locked to the Background Input.
There are several different scenarios:
Possible Configurations
Primary
Full Screen Picture-In-Picture or Hidden
Background
Full Screen and Genlocked*, Hidden and Framelocked#, Hidden & Frame
Locked or Hidden.
*Genlock = Output is set to Background size and frame rate.
#Framelock = Output size can be set by scaler but frame rate is taken from the Background input.
