C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 3 DEVICE SUMMARY 3.1 Device Capabilities The C2-1000 series uses the proprietary CORIO® 2 Engine to perform its functions, being the second generation of the successful CORIO ® products. The CORIO ®2 technology is a powerful toolset for any application requiring high quality video signal conversion or image manipulation. All units feature a single video processing and scaling engine, with some unit’s also featuring video mixing, keying and fader capabilities.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL This ‘all in one’ converter facility combines the abilities of a Down Converter PLUS and Video Scaler PLUS into one unit with added functionality for image superimposition. This is achieved by using the units inbuilt features such as Keying, Picture in Picture (PIP), Fading, and the facility to switch the between overlaying the foreground over the background and vice versa – background/foreground priority. 3.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 4 PRODUCT IMAGES Your C2-1000 product should look like one of the units below. Each unit has a different main function (Down Converter, Video Scaler, Universal Scaler) and a subsequently different ability to process video signals.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 5 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The range of buttons on the front of the unit provides the user with quick easy access for selecting a variety of inputs and features. Since all the units in the C21000 series are different, not all of the descriptions below will be applicable to the unit in question. The most notable is the LOCK/MIX/KEY/FADE buttons that are on certain units only.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL RESTORE Hold in briefly to restore to last-saved (power-on) defaults – this is useful to ‘escape’ from non-displayable configurations. Hold in for longer (two beeps) to perform a Factory reset of user settings. STANDBY Hold in to put the unit into Standby (power-save) mode. Hold in briefly to come out of Standby mode. LOCK Sets Lock mode to Genlock. This locks the unit’s output to the current Lock source. See ‘Adjust outputs’ menu details.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL The STANDBY/ON LED will flash when the unit’s buttons are locked. 5.4.2 Factory Reset If you wish to restore all operational parameters to their original condition, first ensure the unit’s in the operational mode, not in Standby where the red power led is illuminated. When it is in the operational mode, hold the RESTORE button in until two beeps are heard. All stored settings except resolutions are lost when the unit is reset.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 6 AUDIO / VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The C2-1000 series has a number of different inputs and outputs – see earlier front and rear panel diagrams to see what is available on your unit. 6.1 Computer & Video inputs The PC/HD input can accept: Analog RGBHV RGsB (sync on green) RGBS (separate sync at TTL levels) YUV/YPbPr (including tri-level) In most cases, the particular input being used will be auto-detected.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL RGBS (separate sync at TTL levels) YUV/YPbPr (including tri-level). However, please note that on some units such as Down Converters, the RGB output is there just to loop the PC image through to the PC monitor. On Video Scalers, bypass mode (with the unit in Standby) will feed PC/HD in to PC/HD out directly. YUV/YPbPr (component) outputs can also be switched to RGsB (sync on green) mode if desired - see ‘Adjust outputs’ for more information.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL On the back of audio-equipped units are 5 x 3-way connector blocks. These can be removed individually (with care), or can be left in-situ whilst connections are made (by releasing each terminal using a small screwdriver, and then by clamping it back down again once a new cable has been inserted). The diagram above shows the 5 connector blocks (as viewed from the rear of the unit), each with Left, Ground and Right terminals.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 7 INFRA-RED REMOTE CONTROL Your unit is compatible with an optional infra-red remote control as shown below: Resets back to power-on defaults Stores current settings Selects input: 1/2/3=RGB/CV/YC Enables Keyer Enables Lock & Mix mode Fades in/out Starts AutoSet Locks the IR & panel buttons (Not used.) Selects flicker reduction level Sets Shrink/PIP size & position Navigates through the menu structure & changes values. Adjusts current menu values.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 8 MENU LAYOUT AND SETTINGS ADJUSTMENT From here on, we’ll be looking at the menu structure employed in your unit and, more importantly, the individual menu items that allow you to take advantage of the power of the unit. You’ll be using the multi-directional switch and the on-screen display (OSD) to view the options and settings available to you. First press the multi-directional button in once to reveal the menu.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Menus are arranged so that a particular general function has a menu name on the top line and beneath that either a sub-menu or one or more related individual settings are displayed. In some cases the functionality is global – meaning it has an effect on the unit as a whole (such as changing the output resolution). In the majority of cases, the function is related to a specific operational area of the unit, detailed by the text in the top line.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 8.2 Items Associated with the Adjust outputs group This menu group allows adjustments to be made that specifically affect the output of the unit, including output resolution and locking/overlaying onto a computer or video source. 800 x 600 60Hz Lock mode [Off] [RGB1] This menu item allows the lock mode to be selected and the lock source to be defined. The top line of the display shows the current detected resolution of the selected lock source (RGB1 in this example).
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Before turning the Lock feature on, you first must select a valid Lock source. Some units may not have all Lock sources available, depending on hardware limitations – see Specifications for details of limitations on your unit. If the Lock source you choose is not valid, then Genlock or Lock & Mix will be temporarily disabled, until the Lock source becomes valid again. When disabled, the resolution previously specified in ‘Output res’ becomes the output resolution.

The device attached is not capable of support ing HDCP. Nothing will be output on the DVI connector. The device attached is capable of HDCP, but the output is not currently encrypted. The device attached is capable of HDCP, and the output from the unit is encrypted. The repeater unit (e.g.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Adjust outputs Stand. [NTSC-M/PAL-BDGHI] This menu item is only available when the Output resolution is set to PAL or NTSC. With this you can change the output type to the PAL or NTSC standard with the further option of changing the output to the additional PAL & NSTC standards such as PAL-M or PAL-N. SECAM is also available as an output on some units, provided the ‘Output res’ is set to PAL / 50Hz.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL This menu item only appears on units with multiple windows or PIPs. It is used to select which one you want to modify. Alternatively, use one of the dedicated buttons on the front panel to choose the window to adjust. NTSC / 60Hz Source [ YC1] The source display screen allows the input source for the currently selected window to be changed. The top line of the display shows the detected characteristics of the signal.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL By adjusting the H/V values, you can crop out the black areas to correct the size on the final output screen. Note that it does not change the shape or aspect ratio of the image – but just removes the parts of the image that are not required. Adjust windows H/V out shift [ 0] [ 0] This positions the selected Window horizontally and vertically on the monitor.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL This is a feature only present in advanced units only. It greatly improves the method of frame-rate conversion, by allowing the unit to merge frames together during the process. When ‘Off’, the unit will use frame-repetition when converting 50Hz to 60Hz (i.e. it has to duplicate every 5th frame), or frame-dropping when converting 60Hz to 50Hz (i.e. it has to drop every 6th frame).
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Adjust windows Audio bars [4] Certain units can display audio bar measurements and this menu item displays how many stereo-bars are shown. A maximum of 4 stereo bars (8 bars in total, with leftright pairs next to each other) can be shown. Audio channels are always numbered from left to right, balanced to display bars on both sides of the each. A setting of 0 disables the audio bars from being shown.

C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL The diagram below should help to clarify the function of these values: 0 1024 0 1024 0 0 OUT IN 768 768 In the example above, ‘In’ has been set to 300,150 as its top-left source co-ordinate, with a size of 750,400. ‘Out’ has been set to 50,50 (i.e. close to the top left) with a size of 250,300. The scaler will then ensure that the whole of the source (of size 750 by 400) is scaled to the required output (of size 250 x 300). 8.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Normally, your foreground is the input (window) source and your background is the lock source. This then allows you to superimpose any graphics or video input on top of the lock source by keying out a certain color or range of colors in the input source. Swapping them means that the input source moves to the background and the lock source is now in front of it. Thus you are now keying out the lock source colors to reveal the input source behind it.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Setting it to Off will cause the colour range that’s defined to be removed - remove the desired colors. Setting it to On will cause the colour range that’s defined to be kept key out all other colors. The descriptions above behave identically on the remaining U Key Invert & V Key Invert component versions. However they are directed at the U/B-Y (blue) colour component and V/R-Y (red) colour components respectively.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL to the voltage within the video signal. These values are best adjusted once any overlapping images are aligned with each other Adjust keyers Eb comp cent/side [ 0] [ 0] This controls a ‘compensation’ value that sets the minimum brightness of the centre and side areas during edge-blending. It is used to compensate for the fact that projectors cannot generally output a purely black signal – and hence the overlap area would normally be brighter as a result.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL This menu item will be used to correct the aspect ratio of the video source when converted into the final output resolution. The following table details what happens in the available modes: Setting Fill (default) Aspect H-fit V-fit 1:1 Result The source is stretched to fill the output. The source’s aspect ratio is maintained on the output.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL If an external audio switcher is connected via the OPTION bus, then this menu item selects the desired Audio input for use with the active video source, allowing an audio-follow-video function. In most situations, the Audio input values would be different for each video source – so that when the first video source is selected, so is the first audio source (this is called ‘audio follow video’). The second video source then selects the second audio source, etc.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Mode Normal/weave Auto Film 3:2 M. Comp Low M. Comp Med. M. Comp High Frame/bob Function The two interlaced fields are simply combined/weaved together. This will often show artifacts on moving images, but can be used when the input is known to be still. Automatically selects Film 3:2 or Medium Range Motion Compensation (M. Comp Med.) depending on whether Film Mode is detected or not. Enables 3:2 pull down conversion of the incoming NTSC video.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Status message Inactive Active Description Effect HDCP is not active at the DVI connector. HDCP is active at the DVI connector. HDCP-encrypted material cannot be received by the unit. HDCP-encrypted material can be received by the unit, but only if a HDCP-compliant display or device is attached to the unit’s output. See ‘Adjust outputs’ for a description of how the HDCP system works on your scaler. Source: DVI1 Display emul.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL If your unit allows ‘HDMI’ to be selected, this can also enable certain audio features depending on the abilities of your unit. Source: DVI1 EDID capture [ 1] Grab This menu provides a simple way of capturing EDID data from an attached DVI or HDMI monitor and storing it in one of the user-definable EDID memory data blocks (Mem1 to Mem6) – see previous menu. To capture a different display's EDID, perform the following: 1.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL To make this adjustment, select an RGB source and then provide an image from that source with fine detail, preferably with very sharp vertical lines. Adjust this value until you see the sharpest image. Alternately, adjust this value to give the worst (noisiest/softest) image, and then add or subtract 16 to get the optimum value. Note that the AUTOSET function (for RGB inputs only) will attempt to automatically work out the best value for this setting.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Source: YC1 Sharpness [0] Within limits, you can enhance or soften the appearance of detail within an image. The Sharpness values go both negative and positive, with 0 being the default. Note that over-enhancing an image has the side effect of making it appear to be noisy and under-enhancing an image gives the appearance of poor video quality.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL If you select ‘Cut’ or ‘Fade’, the only remaining menu items will be ‘Switching Fade Time’ and ‘Exit’. Selecting ‘Wipe’ or ‘Push’ exposes additional parameters. Adjust transitions Switching fade time [ .5] This parameter controls how long a transition from one input to another takes. The th value can be 0 (a cut) or several minutes - adjustable in 1/10 second increments.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Making adjustments here risks creating a non-standard resolution that is not displayable on a monitor. The resolutions and values within the database are industry standards and should not normally be altered by the user. That said, there might be times when it is necessary to create a custom resolution with specific parameters. If circumstances require you to make such a change, please read the following specific notes: 1.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 800 x 600 60 Hz Clks/l [1056] = 40.000MHz This option changes the total number of image pixels on one line of monitor video including the Horizontal sync pulse and blanking time. This is normally in a multiple of 8. It is very important to get this value correct, or many digital display devices, such as TFT monitors, will display an image with an odd moiré effect – such as soft vertical bands spread evenly across the image. 800 x 600 60 Hz Lines/f [ 628] = 60.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 800 x 600 60 Hz H/V Sync [ 128] x 4 There are standards for all current computer and broadcast resolutions that specify the correct width of both Vertical and Horizontal synchronizing pulses. If you are creating a special, non-standard resolution, you may wish to adjust the pulse width to fit your new requirements. The H/V Sync screen is where that is accomplished.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL System SW date: 2006-7-11 This is an information page showing when the currently installed software was released. The information is useful to the user as he or she compares the date to the website information describing the current software release. Normally, the user will examine the added features of each new software release and determine if an update is worth doing in their particular operation.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL System LED brightness % [ 90] This parameter is available on certain units and controls how bright the LEDs on the front panel appear. System LCD backlight [On] This parameter is available on certain units and allows the LCD backlight to be turned on and off. System LCD contrast [200] This parameter is available on certain units and allows the LCD contrast (viewing angle) to be altered.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL System Buzzer [ On] The screen labeled ‘Buzzer’ is actually the control for turning the “Beep” “On” or “Off”. Normally this is left in the “On” position to provide positive feedback that your data entries and parameter changes have been accepted. System CC-300 A/B bus mode [ Off] This menu item changes the function of an attached CC-300 CORIOconsole unit.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL System Hours in Use 877 This is another informational display for usage audit purposes. System Temp.C 30 33 43 45 Certain units have built-in temperature sensors, and if yours has such a feature then the above menu item will appear. If the ambient temperature of the internal components becomes excessively high or low, the unit will shut down to prevent harm.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 9 SERIAL PORT 9.1 Connection Your unit is fitted with a standard ‘D9’ plug or socket allowing it to be controlled from a computer or other type of terminal or console with a similar interface. Most computers fitted with an RS232 port, known as a ‘COM’ port, will have a ‘D9’ plug on them.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Note: Any command you send to the unit will be replied to either with an error code or with the actual changed value. This may be different to the one you sent; for example, if trying to set a value too high or too low.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 10 SERIAL / IP CONTROL SPECIFICATION PLEASE NOTE: Not all units support Serial and/or IP (Ethernet) communications – check to see if this feature is present on your unit. This section outlines how to control a unit via a Serial or Ethernet link (if fitted to your unit), using ASCII-based commands. It details how to send and receive serial data to perform many of the functions that a user has access to on the unit.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL The ACK flag will be returned as 0 if the command is invalid for some reason – for example a bad FUNCTION, WINDOW, OUTPUT or PAYLOAD value. An ACK=0 message will be otherwise identical to the one you sent, so you know exactly which message has the error. Any changes made to the unit using the front panel controls will also cause the full 20 byte message to be sent indicating the change that has occurred, thus enabling a program to stay ‘in-sync’ with the unit.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL CHA (Channel) SOURCE returned means message was okay. ACK=0 returned means an error was present in the message. Bit 5 = 0 Reserved for future use. Bit 4 = 0 Reserved for future use. Bit 3 = 0 Reserved for future use. Bit 2 = 1 This bit *must* be set. Bit 1 = 0 Reserved for future use. Bit 0 = 0 Reserved for future use. This byte has multiple uses, and defaults to 0 unless used for: CHA When a channel number is used in the Adjust Sources section (see later).
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL CS ASCII-hex byte that is the (check) sum of all previous bytes (excluding the SOP 'F' character). E.g. The command F0400410082000001C8 has the checksum of 04+00+41+00+82+00+00+01=C8, so the complete command to send is F0400410082000001C8. A short-cut for debugging allows the checksum to be replaced by 2 question marks, so in the previous example you could send F0400410082000001?? Instead.

C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL COMMON OPERATIONS This section provides step by step instructions for some common operations. 10.6 Operation of the Keyer Some units come equipped with a very powerful Luminance and Chrominance Keyer.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL to decrease the ‘min’ values and increase the ‘max’ values to broaden the range of colors keyed out. At this point, only the key color should remain transparent.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 11 EDGE-BLENDING SETUP 11.1 Introduction Edge-blending is a method whereby two or more video/data projectors are used together with part of their images overlapping, thereby creating a wider (or taller) display more suitable for showing wide-screen video images. The term edgeblending relates to the fact that the overlap needs to be carefully handled to prevent the overlap causing image brightness problems.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL S-curves for left and right projectors, with edges blended. S-curves, when properly overlapping, will add together to result in full brightness. 11.2 Edge-blending requirements To obtain the best edge-blending results, you will need: 1. A perfectly flat projection screen. This is vital, or it will not be possible to perfectly align your two projected images with each other. 2. Two matched projectors.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 11.3 Basic setup of the two projectors Basic video projector setup showing overlap. The above diagram shows how the two projects should be placed to create a wider than normal image. The amount by which they overlap is very important, as this will also relate to the zooming values to be used for each of the CORIO®2 scaling engines.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL For use with dual-channel scalers such as the C2-7000 series, connect your video source (e.g. a DVD player or computer) to an input on the C2-7000 unit. It is not necessary to feed two signals – the C2-7000 unit can use the same signal for both outputs. For 2 single-channel scalers, you can either use a distribution amplifier so that a single video source is split into 2 signals, or use the ‘loop’ output available on some units. 11.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 20% overlap are usually around 180%. In other words, not quite 2x zooming (since that would give no overlap at all). Figure ‘a’ shows the original image and ‘b’ shows the two zoomed images. Note that the two images are at different ‘Pan’ positions – i.e. they are zoomed into different areas of the image – the left and right-hand sides. Figure ‘c’ then shows the images re-combined as they should eventually appear on your projection screen.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL E = 2 * H * (1 – Z/200) [pixels] For example, with zoom (Z) at 190%, output resolution of 1024x768 (H=1024), we can calculate E as: E = 2 * 1024 * (1 – 190/200) = 102.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL G R R G Outputs 1 and 2 with guide lines shown. GRRG Outputs 1A and 2B partly overlapping. Y 11.9 Y Outputs 1A and 2B perfectly overlapping – the red and green lines turn to yellow when aligned together. Alignment of projectors This is possibly the most difficult part of properly setting up edge blending.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL G G RR G RR G GR RG RG GR Too far apart – you need around 15% overlap, such that the red and green lines overlap. Offset – make sure your projectors are perfectly aligned both horizontally and vertically. Key-stoning – ensure your projectors have the same keystone values, to produce perfectly aligned vertical lines. Rotation – one or both of the projectors has a slight tilt. Once corrected, you may then need to re-align them.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Y 11.10 Y Perfect alignment – your red and green vertical lines should overlap to produce yellow ones. Gamma correction By now you should have two perfectly aligned projectors, but possibly with a brighter than normal overlap. This is most probably because a projector’s luminance is not perfectly linear and therefore will need to have what’s called ‘gamma correction’ applied. Gamma correction is available within the same ‘Adjust keyers’ menu as the other adjustments.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL The compensation is needed because most projectors cannot output pure black – there’s always some light ‘leaking’ to the projection screen. Thus when you’re trying to output black, there will be a ‘hot area’ where the two projectors are now overlapping, of twice the projector’s ‘black level’ output. The solution is to adjust the ‘Eb comp cent’ value (the first in the ‘Eb comp cent/side’ menu) to compensate for this centre brightness error.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 1. Either use a 2nd output from the unit with Output 1, or a distribution amplifier to generate a 2nd identical signal. Feed this into RGB1 on the unit handling Output 2. 2. Go to ‘Adjust outputs’ for Output 2 3. Where ‘Lock [Off] RGB1’ is seen (where RGB1 is the default Lock source), change the Lock source to ‘OUT1’. 4. Then change the Lock method from ‘Off’ to ‘Genlock’. 11.

After doing so, if you still need to, contact Technical Support at http://www.tvone.com/support. Please have the following details of the problem handy: Whether the problem happens only at specific times or has only just started occurring (and what other things have changed at the same time).
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 13.4 There is excessive flicker on the Output. Try using a different Flicker reduction mode. Turning the contrast down and the brightness up on the output device can have a large effect on flicker. Or try adjusting the brightness and contrast of the source input by selecting the Input adjust menu. 13.5 The Output image is distorted. This may occur where some of the areas of the image are very dark and others are very bright.
C2-1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 13.11 The RGB input is selected but the image is rolling or pink. Check the Adjust sources menu and confirm that the input type and sync method is set correctly. (Having YUV input selected, instead of RGBHV often causes this problem). 13.12 The video signal from my DVD player does not appear to work. Some DVD players have a switch at the back that selects between ‘Component’ and ‘S-Video’ output, because most will not let you output both at the same time.
