C2-1200 Video Scaler is based on TV One's exclusive CORIO2™ technology and provides high quality up conversion from standard video formats to Computer or HDTV signals. NTSC and PAL video standards are supported. Video Inputs are 2x Composite, 2x S-Video or one YUV Component or YPbPr. A computer bypass is also provided. The output is selectable as any computer resolution up to 2048x2048 at any vertical refresh rate and all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. A wide variety of computer signal formats are available to support PC, Mac and Workstation formats.
A unique feature of this unit is the UTP output that supports RGB or YPbPr outputs up to 300 meters (1,000’), to allow integration into existing wiring structures. UTP receivers are optional.
All the functions can be controlled via the front panel Push Buttons, an Infrared Control Remote Unit or via an RS-232 connection. A Windows Control Panel is provided and most third party control systems interface directly with the entire C2 range of products. An On-Screen Display is available to assist in setup.
Variable Zoom to 10X allows you to enlarge any part of the video image to fill the entire computer 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 full bandwidth chroma sampling insures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors.
A 4x1 integral stereo audio routing switcher provides unbalanced inputs and output to follow the video input selection. A rear panel terminal block provides access. The C2-1200 is housed in a desktop case and a rackmount kit is available as an option.
C2-1250 Video Scaler PLUS has all the functions and features of the C2-1200 and adds a wide variety of additional capabilities, including scaling of the RGB or YPbPr input, Genlock, Picture-In-Picture, Chromakey, Lumakey and Mixing. The Key Mode allows computer graphics to be keyed over an external Composite or S-Video signal or visa versa. 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 the video inputs to be inset in a window over a computer or HD input.
Temporal Interpolation greatly improves conversion from one framerate to another by mering multiple frames of video information to create intermediate frames, which is vital foar smoothly scrolling images.
Our exclusive AutoSet® feature takes the hassle out of 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.
Input Expansion is available for both models by choosing the appropriate S2 Series product, which links to the main unit via an Options Interconnect Cable. The routing of these additional inputs is controlled directly from the C2-1000 Series converter’s control system.
