CINCINNATI – tvONE’s evolutionary development of our renowned CORIO®2 scaler technology continues to provide commercial integrators with unsurpassed image quality in nearly any installation situation. Now, to further improve upon the core technology, we are introducing a new generation of scalers that are extremely intuitive & user-friendly and provide greater flexibility. These new designs have more input/output flexibility than any other previous tvONE scaler.

They can be set up and managed using a new, innovative front panel or via computer-based control panel that allows setup in less than 1/3 the time of the previous generation. The interface provides two distinct sections for unrivaled ease of use; one for system setup and another for live, real-time operations. The front panel helps with setup time through color modulated soft-buttons, intuitive categorized menus, and simple recall of up to 12 presets. Control software is available on several Windows platforms & interfaces directly with the unit. IP and RS-232 serial interfaces are also provided for use with 3rd party control systems.
These scalers provide high quality bi-directional conversion between a variety of analog and digital video formats. Inputs and Outputs include SD/HD/3G-SDI, HDMI, DVI, Composite Video, YC, YUV, YPbPr or RGB. Signal parameters of the incoming video may be adjusted. All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are retained even when power is switched off. Twelve user-defined presets are available to customize settings for various applications. The high resolution RGB/YPbPr output is selectable at virtually any PC or HDTV resolution. NTSC, PAL, PAL-M, and PAL-N standards are supported. SECAM is supported for input.
tvONE’s Calibrate feature automatically sizes and positions computer images to fit exactly on the video display, and the 10X Variable Zoom can enlarge and position any part of an input to fill the entire video output display. Variable Shrink with as much as 90% size reduction allows almost any image to fit on the tiniest screen. Both high sampling rate and the advanced Digital Flicker Elimination circuitry on CV & YC outputs ensure crisp, clear images, while full bandwidth chroma sampling ensures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors. Motion compensation, diagonal interpolation and a 3:2 Pulldown feature for NTSC greatly improve the image quality. Temporal interpolation greatly improves frame-rate conversion by merging successive frames. Pixel Level Motion Adaptive Diagonal Interpolation ensures high quality de- interlacing of PAL & NTSC signals.
Advanced Features – Keying allows one input to be keyed over a second input. The keyed image may be faded in and out. Due to the 4:4:4 sampling format for RGB sources, precise keying at the pixel level can be achieved. Transitions permit Seamless Cut, Fade or Wipe transitions between input sources. The Picture-In-Picture (PIP) functionality allows an input to be inset in a window over a second input or vice versa. The PIP window may be placed anywhere on the screen. The Genlock feature ensures precise synchronization of the incoming signals by providing a wide subcarrier lock range with subcarrier phase adjust.
Basic Integral Stereo Audio switching is provided by an integral 4×1 audio routing switcher. The four impedance-independent unbalanced inputs follow the video input selection. A rear panel terminal block and a 3.5mm jack-socket provides access. Embedded Audio Support allow s any audio input to be embedded on all outputs which support embedded audio data (HDMI/DVI-U/SDI).
Auto Switching
The Auto Switching function turns the C2-2×55 into a powerful standalone device. Allowing the user to connect their source and have it automatically displayed on screen without having to press any buttons. The incoming resolution is quickly detected and analyzed meaning within a few seconds the user is up and running and ready to present. This is particularly useful in situations where there is little or no technical supervision such as in meeting rooms, medical environments, teaching spaces or live staging events.
