TV One C2-7200

C2-7200 eases the transition form analog to digital broadcasting by going well beyond basic SDTV to HD-SDI Up-conversion to provide virtually unlimited bi-directional analog and digital video conversion. Since the unit is based on our exclusive CORIO2 technology, frame rate conversion is a standard feature, enabling PAL and NTSC Standards Conversion as well. Advanced Motion Compensation assures smooth signal conversion between formats. The C2-7200 features two independent video processing and scaling engines and two video mixers for maximum flexibility and is equally at home in Broadcast or Display environments. The unit has three basic operating modes to simplify control.

Switcher Mode – Provides equally powerful Program and Preview channels for live event switching. In addition to previewing any of the 11 inputs before selection, even complex functions, such as Chromakeys and Picture-In-Picture, can be previewed for setup, totally independent of the Program channel output. Seamless transitions from Preview to Program can be either by Cut, Variable Duration Cross-Fade or Special Effects. Any signal format can be freely mixed with any other.

Independent Mode - Provides the power of two independently functioning products, performing different tasks in one box. Each output can deliver different formats and resolutions simultaneously. For example, in a Broadcast Station environment, the C2-7200 can function as two completely independent Analog to HD-SDI Up-converters, each genlocked to a different reference and each with a different logo or ID keyed in. Similarly, an HD-SDI signal being output from Output 1 can be monitored on a Composite Video display via Output 2.

Dual Window 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 or a static image from the unit’s memory as the background. The image in the window can then be seamlessly switched or cross faded to another video input or even zoomed in or out. Keying can be added independently to each window and the background.

Control - In addition to front panel controls by Push Button, Rotary Knob and LCD, the unit may be controlled remotely via RS-232 or Ethernet with IP protocol. A Windows Control Panel in included for control from a PC. The CC-300 CORIOconsole hardware control panel provides the look and feel of a traditional production switcher. The flexibly control architecture makes it easy to control form third party devices as well.

Powerful Features - 4:4:4 sampling provides full bandwidth color which allows the C2-7200 to provide precise pixel by pixel keying, including Soft (Transparent) Keys. The unit’s 11 Inputs accommodate multiple HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVI, YPbPr, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, YCbCr, Composite and S-Video signals. It handles all HDTV formats and any PC resolution up to 2048x2048 - not just some predefined ones, but ANY resolution, even custom ones. The two independent output channels each offer SDI (SD or HD), DVI-I (also any RGB format), CV and SV simultaneously. The unit’s ability to alter the aspect ratio of any input enables different SDTV and HDTV images to be intermixed in any of the modes.

C2-7200’s output signal format flexibility assures that the Native Resolution of virtually any Digital Display can be matched. Because of the integral resolution calculator, even new resolutions can be instantly added to the menu. Adjustments are provided for Brightness, Contrast, Color Saturation and Hue (where applicable) and each video input has its own non-volatile memory to retain these settings, even when the power to the unit has been turned off. Integral Test Pattern Signals are user definable. A fast Logo memory is provided, so the unit can easily be used as a Logo Inserter. The C2-7200 employs advanced motion compensation to smooth out fast moving images and its automatic 3:2 Pull-down efficiently de-interlaces video from 24 fps film. The unit can be controlled from the front panel, via RS-232 or via IP by Internet or LAN. The Windows Control Panel provides complete control and adds Macros to facilitate long, complex sequence of commands. One Control Panel can control multiple devices.
