Ethernet.
If you have problems using the unit as described below, see the ‘Firmware
Update’ description.

4 Initial Operation
The unit is controlled via supporting software that should be loaded onto a
Windows-based PC. The latest software can be downloaded for free from the
TVOne website. For best results, the PC should be connected to a high resolution display (over 900 lines).
The initial connection between the computer and the C3-540 is via the RS232 connector on the rear. Use an appropriate serial cable or USB-to-RS232 converter and preload any necessary serial drivers onto the PC.
Connect the PC to the unit via the cable and power up the unit. At first, the unit’s fans will run at full speed. As the unit progresses through its power up sequence the individual red lights on the rear modules will go green. Once all the rear
LEDs are green, the system performs final internal checks before turning the front light from red to green. The unit has now initialised and is ready to use.
From the PC software, enter username “admin” and password “adminpw” and click the Login button. The PC logs in to the unit and reads back the current status including reporting the number of available input and output connectors.
Further details of using the Control software can be found in the relevant section later in this manual.
4.1 Connecting Via Ethernet
The Ethernet port can only be configured via the RS232 connection. Once the
Ethernet address and port have been set, the unit can be connected to a network and controlled remotely in the same way as with the RS232 port. Some other functions are also currently disabled via the Ethernet connection. These are disabled in the Control software to prevent errors occurring

5 Connecting Equipment to the CORIO®master
The CORIO®master has Universal DVI (DVI-U) input and output connectors.
DVI-I signals can be connected directly using DVI-I cables. Due to the large number of connectors that may be connected, it is important to use fully screened cables with built-in Ferrite chokes to meet the emission standards.
For HDMI, composite video or analogue signals, TVOne can supply appropriate adapters that can be fitted to the DVI-U connector.
Below is a diagram of the rear of the unit. DVI-U cards can be placed in slots 1 to 16.
The input cards are identified as black painted with white writing. These are placed in the unit from the top at slot 1, increasing in number. Slot 1 and 2 can only be inputs.
The output cards are painted white with black writing. Output cards are placed after the input cards – slot 15 and 16 can only be outputs, and best practice is to work backward with output cards from slot 16, while working forward with input cards from slot 1. It is essential that all output cards are installed in slots after the input cards – an input card installed below or to the right of an output card will not function as expected.
16
6 Direct Control on the CORIOmaster
The CORIOmax range of products use a common set of commands. These commands are based on English words and a tree structure with branches separated by the “.” separator.
Not all commands are valid for all CORIOmax products but the software in all units will recognise and then reject commands it can not accept. Due to the complexity of the
CORIOmaster, only a few basic commands are described here. It is strongly recommended you controls the unit through the TVOne application.
For each command an acknowledgement will be returned.
To access the unit, you must first log in. The command is:
login(username,password)
Currently the system recognises login(admin,adminpw)
To logout, type logout
6.2 The !Info and !Error : reply
The unit will reply to commands in various ways. A successful command may be acknowledged by
!Info :
… where the text after the colon provides information on how the unit has interpreted the command.
The
!Error –nnn :
… reply indicates an unsuccessful command execution. If an !Error message is returned, the unit has not carried out the command requested.

7 Input and Output naming convention
The CORIOmax protocol uses a fixed naming convention to communicate internally with the various modules.
This naming is defined by the position of modules within the CORIOmax product. The figure below shows the unit as viewed from the rear. Each location in which a module can be placed is called a slot and each slot is numbered from the top left, going across then down.
The first slot is numbered 1; the last is 20. Slot 17 is a special slot holding the CPU card and slots 18,19 and 20 only work with data, not video signals.
The fixed label for slot 1 is Slots.slot1
The video modules have inputs and outputs. Some cards have only one connector but most have more.
Inputs are addressed by in1, in2, and so forth; outputs are addressed by out1,out2, and so forth.
Like the slot numbering system, they are numbered from left to right facing the rear of the
CORIOmax.
The fixed label for the left-most input on slot 1 is Slots.slot1.in1
The fixed label for the left-most output on slot 13 is Slots.slot13.out1
The input numbering starts from 1 and continues to the number of inputs on that card.
Likewise, the output numbering starts at 1 and continues to the number of outputs on that card.
18
To keep track of which cards are in which slot, use the command
Slots.slot1.CardType and so on, up to
Slots.slot16.CardType
This command returns a text string that describes the card found in the slot, indicating what functionality is available.
Current card types are:
DVI_U 2-in
DVI_U 2-in (NS)
DVI_U 2-out
DVI_U 2-out (NS)
DVI_U 2-out Mon
Audio 8-in 8-out
SDI_3G 2-in
SDI_3G 2-out

9 CORIOmaster control software configuration
The software has been developed to easily access all of the functions of the CORIOmaster from a computer. Connection is currently only possible by RS232. The GUI has been designed so you has full control and a visual representation of the whole system topography.
9.2 Software installation
If you haven’t already got a copy of the CORIOmaster software you can download it from the following URL: http://www.tvone.com/tech_support_software.shtml
The software will be contained in compressed folder so it’s advisable to first install a compression utility tool such as WinZip, WinRAR or 7-Zip. These are freely available to download from the internet. Before starting you will also need to make sure you have
Microsoft .NET 4 running on your computer.
The version of control software depends on the version of Windows running on the PC.
For Windows XP and Windows 7 (32 bit) download the 32 bit version. For Windows 7 (64 bit) download the 64 bit version. The files should be extracted to a temporary directory, the directory C:\Coriomaster is recommended.
Once extracted, move to the Coriomaster directory and run the install program. A Dos window will appear, agree to any pop up windows. Once installed a Desktop icon for the
CORIOmaster program is generated.
Three files are placed in the C:\ProgramFiles\TVOne\Master directory.
If the program fails to install this is likely to be caused by permission restrictions. To observe any problem run the DOS command prompt from the accessories group in the
Windows Icon in administrator mode (right click). In the DOS window move to the directory the files where the extracted are located. Type install and observe any failure notices displayed. From this it should be possible to work out what settings on the PC need to be corrected to permit proper installation.
29
9.3 Running the Application
Now that the Silverlight application has been installed you can run the application by double clicking on the CORIOmaster icon. The initial screen below should appear. Check that the version number shown in the bottom left hand corner is valid for the firmware loaded into the CORIOmaster. For this manual the software should read 1.6.9.x
The first time you run the software, you will need to set some initial values. Click the
Settings button to configure communications. The window shown below will appear.
Initial configuration is always via Serial (RS-232) connection, even if you intend to use
Ethernet. Make sure the RS-232C radio button is depresed, and select the correct COM port from the drop-down menu (the port you have connected to the CORIOmaster). Click
OK.
30
The system will log all communications between the unit and the PC the default log file will store the last 10000 commands. If you wants to store log files they may wish to lower this number to reduce the size of any files generated.
The final parameter is related to the y direction on the layout. Most users will be used to having positive up the screen, the default but some video users may prefer to have the positive values represent a downward direction on the screen. If this is your preference, this can be chosen by selecting the down button.

10 CORIOmaster General Control
For username type admin; for the password type adminpw and click the Login button.
10.1 Retrieving or using local data.
At the first connection the unit will retrieve all the data from the unit and store the data locally on the PC for use by the application. On future connections between the PC and a unit the application may offer you the chance of using local data stored on the PC and allow you to select a valid file. In this mode the C3-540 can be loaded with configurations stored on the PC.
Once either the local files are chosen or a loading from the unit is selected the application will synchronise the PC and the unit so that the PC can display the current condition of the unit to you. This may take some time to perform.
10.2 General Navigation
On the top right side of the window, there are seven buttons that are available at all times.
The active button is shown in red while other buttons are white. These buttons are essentially tabs for navigating within the application. The three buttons Layouts, Canvas and Live follow the natural workflow of setting up the unit from installation to use in a live environment. These will be individually covered in the next chapters.
32
10.3 Sending commands to the Unit
Once you are logged into the unit, many commands are not communicated to the unit until the Take All button is pressed in the bottom left of the screen. The Undo button reverses the last action performed on the PC screen. The Undo All returns the configuration to that when the last take was pressed. The Take All is used to send all data related to the screen.
10.4 Save All Settings
During operation the unit can be asked to store the current complete setup in non-volatile memory. You perform this by pressing the Save All Settings at the top of the screen.
You are asked to confirm this action. If accepted, the unit copies all the settings. This will take some time.
On next power up the unit will retrieve all the settings and configure the unit to the state that existed when the Save All Settings was pressed. Due to the time to read this information, the start up time of the unit may be significantly increased.
For systems which are not due to be left alone it is often better to store the setups on the dedicated PC and to use the local data in the login screen to load the unit from the PC.
This can provide greater flexibility and a faster start up.
10.5 Comm Data
Under normal use you does not need to worry about the Comm Data tab. However if a communication fault should occur the tab background will change color. If this occurs you can open this tab and investigate what may be causing a problem.
This screen lists all the commands sent to the unit and information returned. A time stamp is used at the beginning of each line to help work out when commands are sent. The most recent command is shown at the top.
You can also send individual commands from the command line at the bottom. The data is all stored and can be saved as a simple text file. This is designed to help resolve any customer issue where a log report can be sent to TVOne that can greatly identify what may be reported as a fault. A complete log from start-up can also be used to duplicate actions on a similar machines.
10.6 Logging Out
You may log out at any time. All the main screens have a button in the top right market
Logout. When you click this, the unit offers the chance for you to save all the current
33
settings on the PC for working off line for recalling at a later login. Use a suitable name which is no more than 19 characters, begins with a letter, and contains only alphanumeric characters and underscores.

11 CORIOmaster Input/Output Configuration
The Inputs section of the Settings screen is used to pre-configure the input settings during installation.
Once all inputs and outputs have been connected, the Inputs and Outputs tabs permit the setting of any configuration to enable correct functionality of the unit. The input tab on the left hand side will bring a list of inputs found on the unit. By clicking on any of the inputs you can choose the type of input to be selected.
11.1 DVI-U Input Modules
The above image is the screen that appears when a DVI-U input has been selected on the left hand list.
The DVI-U input can chose to look for video from a number of sources. By clicking on the Input Type the pop up shown right appears. You can select either a digital input DVI, or a number of alternative analogue inputs. A suitable connector must be used to input the analogue input through the DVI-U connector on the module.
For RGBHV, RGsB and YUV inputs you can adjust the horizontal phase to correct for any video to sync misalignment.
The Colour Scale should be left on Auto as the system will choose the appropriate colour conversion for each input type. However if the input has the wrong colour scale you can fix the scale conversion to correct for this.
Contrast and Brightness can be adjusted on both analogue and digital inputs.
35
The status line will move to OK once an input is connected and correctly locked. The resolution of the input source detected is shown on this screen. The EDID filename identifies the file sent to the source to help the device connected to switch to the most appropriate resolution. If the source device is connected via HDMI the HDMI found line is set to Found.
HDCP will be described later.
11.2 SDI Input Modules
For SDI Inputs the configuration is minimal. There is no analogue option and no return channel to the source to permit auto configuration. All you are given is the resolution of the received signal. However you can still adjust the brightness and contrast to help balance the image before being used within the CORIOmaster.
11.3 Naming Inputs
You are advised to name inputs and outputs to permit easier operation. The default names relate to the physical slots within the unit. For each input and output the top line shows the current name.
Names must start with a non numeric character and the name must not contain any spaces . In the above picture the SDI input has been renamed Camera_1. Four DVI-U inputs have been named Video_1, Video_2, PC_1 and PC_2
36
11.4 DVI-U Output Modules
It is important to select the correct output resolutions for each of the devices connected to the unit at this stage. Changes of resolution later in the process of generating good quality results can be compromised by setting different resolutions later. For each output click on the output resolution line and from the pop up select the correct resolution for the monitor or projector connected.
It is also important to select whether the output is a Monitor or Projector as only outputs selected as projectors will be adjusted during an edge blending process, described later. Outputs on the same module can’t be used on different layouts. If an odd number of outputs are required on a layout any unused outputs are best set to None.
11.5 Naming Outputs
You are advised to label outputs for use later in generating a layout. The same restriction on names as explained for inputs also apply here. To identify input channels with HDCP ability a little yellow lock is placed by the input shown the input will work with HDCP sources.
37
11.6 SDI Output Modules
The SDI output modules should be configured for the desired output resolution no other adjustment is possible.
11.7 Genlock Function
Each output will synchronise initially and then free run at the chosen output resolution. If multiple outputs in a layout are running at exactly the same frame rate, they will be automatically framelocked
(synchronized to an internal clock). The unit can also manually genlock an output to an input of the same resolution (synchronized to the input).
For each output there is a Genlock button and a source select for the
Genlock. The source select is normally set to Null. To start Genlock you should set the Genlock source. For this system a studio sync of
1920x1080p50 has been connected to slot 4 input 1, and renamed.
For the first four outputs in Slots 11 and 13 may we want to lock them to this source. First move to the output and select the Genlock Source. A pull down will appear and chose Studio Sync.
Next you should attempt to initiate Genlock by ticking the Genlock box.
If there is no valid signal on the input or the valid resolution does not match the output resolution you is warned with the message below.
38
If you press yes the unit will change output resolution to match that of the Genlock Source.
You can then try again to lock the output by first enabling genlock and then pressing the
Take button to force the genlock to occur. If the signal is not present the system will report a “data synchronisation failed” and you should investigate the problem with the genlock source.
This operation should be repeated for all outputs that are to be genlocked. Outputs can be genlocked to different sources to provide a very flexible system.
11.8 HDCP
The DVI inputs and outputs are fully compliant with HDCP. This however can cause serious operational issues.
On each DVI Input you have the ability to disable HDCP communications with the source.
This is strongly recommended to be used when connecting to a computer that has HDCP capability but will not be playing out protected material. Otherwise the channel will become encrypted and limit system functionality.
On Outputs you can set the HDCP Downsteam to Hold On or Keep Off. (Follow
Sources is not recommended for this version). Keep Off disables HDCP key transfer and is recommended for non-compliant sinks. Hold On is used for compliant monitors and projectors.
For correct operation with an HDCP Source ALL outputs connected to that source must be HDCP Compliant.
In the case of the CORIOmaster if one or more windows used on a canvas comes from an
HDCP encrypted source then all outputs linked to the Canvas must be HDCP compliant. If not then no output image will occur.
39
The layout screen is an environment where the display area for the CORIOmaster is configured. The zoom bar and its entry value, allows the area to be zoomed in and out. A wheeled mouse can be used for fast zoom in and out.
The left hand side of the screen gives a list of available layouts. The CORIOmaster unit restricts you to four layouts in the system. Click on a layout to select a layout, which can be renamed in the current layout field above the display area. Names must start with a letter and contain no spaces
12.1 Simple Layout
To create a layout, the next stage is to place outputs onto the layout that mimic their positions in the real world. This is performed by clicking on the tab on the left marked
Outputs, under the TVOne logo. The layout list is now replaced with a list of available outputs. As an output can only be used once, each output disappears from the list if assigned to another layout. If an output is un-assigned from a layout, it will reappear in the list and thus be available for any layout.
40
When an output is selected by clicking on the box next to its name, a pop up window will appear asking you to select a few options. The output resolution previously set up in the Settings tab is copied by default into the size values. This is the horizontal width and height, in layout grid points, that the display is expected to fill. The display type can be changed to Monitor, Projector, RGBHV, or None, depending on what is connected to the output. Once correctly set, click OK.
The output then appears on the layout with its center at point 0,0.
You can now move the output in a number of ways. The quickest way is to place the mouse pointer over the output and hold the left button down. The output can then be dragged across the layout and dropped anywhere you want. It is limited to the area bounded by the white lines which are at 8191 grid points from the origin.
For more accurate positioning you may enter accurate numbers into the Layout Centre of the Output Properties field. For fine tuning, the arrows provide a nudge facility for actual alignment.
The outputs can also be rotated on the Layout by entering a rotation angle, sliding the bar or nudging the arrows up or down.
The Positioning mode is set to physical when the operator is moving outputs physically however at final tuning when the monitor wall may be fixed and an image is being shown where an alignment is required then moving to Image mode inverts the nudge buttons to provide a “same direction” of nudge to image shift.
Remember to press Take to send all these settings to the unit.
41
Below is an example where Layout 1 has been set up with two monitors rotated and adjacent.
12.2 Layout Aids
To help you construct layouts a number of extra support has been added to the software.
The Zoom All button sizes the layout screen to show all placed outputs. The Centre
Layout Origin places the 0,0 point in the center of the screen, where new outputs are placed.
12.2.1 Layout Grid
For regular positioned displays a layout grid option is provided for you. By clicking on the grid button on the layout screen a pop up appears permitting you to set horizontal and vertical step sizes and a rotation angle for a grid. A displacement offset is also available but is only of use for producing an absolute grid pattern for some advanced operations.
The values in the grid popup can be adjusted and when the apply button is pressed all outputs on the layout will move to the new center positions if the Enable Grid is ticked.
Once you are happy with the positions, press OK to close the pop up. You must press
Take to send the new positions to the unit.
42
Example: A user has to construct an array of 1920x1080 monitors that have a horizontal bezel of an equivalent 50 pixels horizontally and 54 pixels vertically. The horizontal gap between screens is therefore 100 pixels and vertically 108 pixels. By setting the layout grid to 2020 (1920+100) and 1188 (1080+108), and enabling the grid, A set of fine lines appear onto the central area. Now each time a new output is selected and positioned onto the screen the center of the output will be placed onto the nearest cross point of the grid.
In this way a wall of monitors can quickly be set up.
12.2.1 Base Size
On the left hand side is a user defined value called Base Size. By default, this is zero which turns off this function. If you are using identical monitors on a layout then there is no advantage to using the Base Size feature. If, however, you are wanting to position different size monitors on a layout then the base size function can aid in producing the desired positioning and sizing.
You need to know the horizontal widths of all the monitors and they must be the same resolutions. This does not have to be in any particular type of units - mm, inches, pixels are all possible.
43
You should then set the Base Value to the largest value of all the monitors you propose to use. Now when each output is selected onto a layout a new variable appears for Relative
Size - this is the size of each monitor. By typing in the horizontal value for each monitor the software will correctly size the screen on the layout for positioning.
This method optimises the layout resolution to the CORIOmaster’s internal operation.
Monitors should not have layout areas greater in size than the resolution of the monitor.
For example, a larger 300-unit-wide monitor will receive directly 1920x1080 layout area, while the smaller 200-unit-wide monitors will have the 1280x720 area of the layout upscaled to 1920x1080 before sending to those smaller monitors.
44
12.3 Projector Alignment
The layout grid can also be used for setting up projectors for edge blending. This time however the gridlines should be spaced smaller than the projector resolution so that the outputs overlap on the layout. The maximum overlap is 500 pixels.
Once the layout has been constructed and output types set to projector, press the projector alignment button. This locks the output positions so that they can no longer be dragged by the mouse.
45
12.3.1 Edge Alignment
This first process is used to correctly align the array of projectors and set the initial video blend at the overlaps. You must click on each individual output on the screen to activate it
(red) or deactivate it (green). When two adjacent outputs are activated (red) then a set of alignment lines are inserted into the outputs. An outer border of green is displayed on both selected outputs and two red inner lines are shown at the join between the projectors.
You should now use these lines to correct the projectors alignment by mechanical positioning or lens control on each projector. The aim is to make sure the size of the projections are the same by use of the green boxes and that the red and green lines are both parallel with each other and are projecting on top of each other to produce a single yellow line.
You can produce a small amount of adjustment of the red lines in software by “nudging” the position of the outputs using the controls on the right-hand side of the window.
However this should only be used for minor corrections.
46
12.3.2 S-Curve Correction
Once all the projectors have been aligned, the next stage is to correct for any brightness non linearity at the blends.
You should now feed in a flat brightness image onto the whole layout. (This requires an external video source, and setting up a canvas to use this layout and place a large single window of this source to cover the whole layout.)
The software for S-Curve projection now permits the selection of any output on the layout.
Each active output (red) will respond to the S-Curve correction – best practice, therefore, is to select all outputs at once for this process. With all selected and a flat white source displayed over the projector outputs, you can now adjust the S-curve parameter. This will adjust the brightness on ALL of the blends. By careful adjustment, you should be able to find the correct value that removes any brightness rise or fall that may have originally been seen.
47
12.3.3 Gamma Correction
The next stage is to correct for any gamma differences between outputs. The bottom disclosure triangle of the right-hand menu is Output Colour Correction, which provides individual Red, Green and Blue Gamma adjustments. Change the input source from White to Red, Green or Blue. For each of these, if one display or projector outputs a different brightness than others, select the appropriate output on the software (make it the only one red) and adjust the appropriate gamma to remove any visible difference.
Each output can be adjusted independently, and the configuration for each output is saved with the rest of the settings.
12.4 Storing Complete Layouts
Exit the Projector Alignment by clicking the red Projector Alignment button and then press Take All to store all the settings for the newly constructed layout. You can then construct another layout if more outputs are still available, up to a maximum of four.
48
13 CORIOmaster Canvas View
After setting up the layout you can switch from the Layouts button at the top to the
Canvases button, to build up the presentation on the canvas. The first step is to assign a layout to the canvas, using the layout tab still on the left of the screen, and position the outputs with the zoom buttons.
The canvas will then show the layout’s outputs as greyed areas on the canvas.
13.1 Window Generation
From the pane on the left, change from the Layouts tab to the Inputs tab, and a list of inputs appear. These can be dragged onto the canvas. The first time an input is dropped on the canvas, a pop-up window appears, prompting you to select the quality of the window to be used. After configuring it as you wish, press OK.
49
Now you can size and position the window with either the mouse or using the values set in the pane on the right of the canvas. The selected window is shown in pink. Once all the windows have been placed, be sure to press the Take All button for the changes to be sent to the box. After this, the windows will appear on the output devices.
13.1.1 Clipping inputs
A video source may not have good images at the edges. To help this, the inputs can be lightly clipped to remove the edge pixels and lines. By pulling down the cropping menu on the right you can remove a few pixels or lines from an input source. The image is then automatically enlarged to fill the window.
13.1.2 Window Borders
You may add a border to a window. This can be any colour from the colour table and you choose how many pixels wide you would like the border to be. Press Done to store the colour. Then press Take All to send this to the unit for display.
13.1.3 Canvas Grid
A grid can be set up to aid the positioning of windows. This grid only works on windows that have been selected to respond to the grid. A number of grids can be used to set up windows in this way as windows using past grids that are not touched will not move to a new grid. The grid is also not stored at any time for the windows and is lost if it is changed or if you log out.
You can set up a grid in your canvas the same way you set one up in your layouts. This permits the horizontal and vertical step size to be set and a rotation angle applied. The offset is now quite important as it can position the center of the grid relative to the nowfixed output locations.
A final setting is a default window size. This can be set by you so that no matter what the input window resolution may be, the window will be resized to the grid window size.
When you have a grid set up, each time you select a new window you have the option of using the automatic alignment functions or just dropping the window onto the canvas for free positioning.
13.1.4 Snap to Output
When a new window is pulled over an output, you have the option to snap to output. This will resize the window, change aspect ratio, and place it pixel-perfect onto the canvas to match the output location on the linked layout.
50
13.1.5 Snap on Addition
This function will place the new window adjacent to the nearest window on the canvas.
This permits quick construction on a mosaic of windows. Most useful with the Preview windows on a Layout used for monitoring.
13.1.6 Snap to Grid
This permits the new window to snap the center of the window to a cross point on the current grid. The grid is only shown after this option is ticked and the window is active.
You can then drag the window to be near the desired cross point for the window to snap to this location.
You have two sub options on snap to grid. You may also snap to the rotation of the grid or leave it free to be adjusted by the rotation control. The other is to set the window option that will resize the window to the current grid window size.
13.1.7 Presets
When using the Canvas Screen you can store system wide configurations for later recall.
When you first click on the Preset tab in the left pane, you will see no presets. This is because all the presets are stored within the CORIOmaster and must first be read from the unit to permit you access. Prior to first use of Presets, click Get All Presets and wait for them to load.
Once you are satisfied with the layout and canvas positions of the windows, you can save the configuration with the Preset x button in the Save column. This will store the complete
51
system under that preset number. The number starts at 2 as stores 0 and 1 are reserved for built in features. You may also rename a preset to a more memorable title.
You can recall any preset at any time from this canvas page / preset tab and load it back onto the canvas for editing. You can then store these changes back into the recalled preset (overwriting the data with the new conditions) or store it in a new preset with a new label.
You currently have 19 presets available for this purpose. Once setup is complete, you should have been able to store all of the fixed window positions you need for live usage.
52
Once all the presets have been made, you can use the Live screen to control their presentation.
If not already saved locally, you should load the presets into your PC. Once loaded, the top of the Live screen shows all the presets that can be recalled. By pressing any of these buttons, the unit will move to that preset and the outputs produce the correct placement of windows from that preset.
The lower half of the screen shows which inputs are being presented on each window of the current preset. If windows and inputs have been named then you can easily see which windows are showing which input. Inputs are shown in alphabetical order. You can still change the input on a window, by moving the desired input to the new window. In normal
(Synchronised) mode one or more windows can be moved before pressing the take. An
Immediate option is available for quick single-input changes.
A Cut To Black button is available, that sets all outputs to black.
14.1.1 Separate control
To help control the system in live situations, you can use third-party controllers to perform the same task. The commands, although touched upon earlier in the manual, can be quite complex so the following is just a brief example.
To change a preset, you must send the command TakeX where X is the preset number
(starting at 2). You must then copy the preset into the current memory to be editable – this is done with the command Copy(X,0), which copies preset number X to the active space.
53
To change a window source, you must know the window number from the canvas.
For window 6, for example, if you want to change the source you must type
Resources.window6.windowSource = slot4.in1
In general, if you plan to create your own third-party control software, we recommend that you contact TVOne for more in-depth information on the API commands.
54
The CORIOmaster has been designed for easy updating of both software and firmware to enable new facilities and features to be easily incorporated into units in the field. The method requires use of the USB rear connector to upload the new firmware. Before carrying out this process, be sure to read the instructions thoroughly.
15.1 Backing Up Settings
To back up your existing settings to internal memory:
1.
Connect via RS-232 or Ethernet using the control UI or HyperTerminal.
2.
In the command line, type System.BackupToSDCard()
The unit returns !Done System.BackupToSDCard which indicates that the command has been accepted but not yet completed. The system then displays feedback showing data backing up to the internal memory.
When the backup is complete, the display shows Backup:Complete.
15.2 Updating Firmware
After powering up the unit and logging in using the RS-232 port, upload the new from a PC connected via the unit’s rear USB connector, as follows:
15.2.1 Connecting a PC to the CORIOmax and Transferring Files
3.
4.
Connect a PC to the CORIOmaster via the unit’s rear USB port. If this is the first time the PC has been connected, the PC may request drivers for the Serial
Emulator. The PC locates an external drive called TVONE, which is the internal SD card on the CORIOmax.
In order to update the firmware, you need to drop two files into the root directory of this drive. a)
The first file is a PLSBOOT file which is a 12-character long file that defines which of the firmware files to load. (The PLSBOOT file can also be directly edited on the drive if necessary.) b)
The second is the firmware file, which contains all the sub-files required to load the system. There can be any number of firmware files in the SD card’s directory; the PLSBOOT file will tell the system which to use during startup. The name of the firmware file varies depending on the model of the unit and version of firmware.
Model of unit Firmware file
CORIOmatrix
CORIOmaster
CORIOmaster mini
Mxxx_S34.dat
Mxxx_M00.dat
Mxxx_MIN.dat
(Mxxx refers to the version number.)
55
5.
Be sure you have copied the new firmware file and PLSBOOT file into the root directory of the TVONE drive.
15.2.2 Running the Firmware Update
6.
7.
After transferring the new firmware and PLSBOOT files, eject the TVONE drive, disconnect the USB cable and return to the RS-232 control.
From the command line, type Coriomax.Software_Update()
The reply shows that the PLSBOOT has been found and that it is loading the
Mxxx_XXX.dat
file. The process checks the file for integrity and starts erasing the flash files, deleting and replacing the contents. When the process is complete, a message appears stating Update successful followed by an automatic system reboot.
If the update fails at any stage, a command prompt appears: TVONE>
If this happens, start the update process again at step 3 above.
15.3 Restoring Backed-Up Settings
To restore your settings from backed-up memory:
8.
Connect via RS-232 or Ethernet using the control UI or HyperTerminal, as in step 1.
9.
In the command line, type System.RestoreBackup()
The unit returns !Done System.RestoreBackup which indicates that the command has been accepted but not yet completed. The unit then displays feedback showing data restoring from the internal memory.
When the restore is complete, the display shows Restore:Complete
10.
Reboot the unit to initiate the restored settings.
56
A module can be removed and replaced in the field. This should be only carried out by a competent person and all appropriate ESD precautions must be observed.
It is recommended to power down the unit before changing any card. A card can be removed and replaced with power still applied to the unit without causing damage.
To replace a module, first remove the two retaining screws. Carefully remove the board using a flat-blade screwdriver between the case and the back-panel side edges.
Remove card and place in an antistatic bag.
To insert the new card, remove from antistatic bag and slide into the now vacant slot.
Carefully push home pressing on the rear metal of the module.
Use the retaining screws to secure the new card in the unit.
57
17 Appendix A: Framelock vs. Genlock
17.1 What is Genlock?
When you run a variety of outputs, you want to make sure they don’t get out of sync with each other. The CORIOmaster provides the ability to lock certain outputs to the reference signals taken from a specified input, in order to make sure they stay synchronised.
In order to do this, the genlocked outputs must all be at the same resolution and frequency as the reference signal from the input – that is, if the reference signal is 1920x1080 at
60Hz, the outputs must also be 1920x1080 at 60Hz. If the outputs are a significantly different resolution or frequency, it will not be possible to genlock to that given reference signal. If the outputs have the right frequency available but are slightly misconfigured, the
CORIOmaster will match the output to the reference signal.
(Genlock reference signals can only be read from the first two inputs on any given card – if a card has four inputs, the third and fourth inputs are not available for genlock.)
17.2 What is Framelock?
Framelock, rather than locking to an input, locks outputs to an internal clock. Unlike genlock, this process happens automatically with any applicable outputs in the same layout, and it happens based solely on frequency, not resolution. This means that outputs need only be at the same frequency to be framelocked, and even if you have more than one frequency in your layout, all outputs of matching frequency will lock together, even if they can’t lock to the outputs of another frequency.
17.3 How does Framelock help me?
Imagine you are using a number of output displays, potentially with different resolutions, in one layout as a display wall:
You want the displays to stay locked to each other, to avoid drift, but there are some situations in which you can’t use genlock.
In this case, as long as you use a single layout and set the frequency of the output displays to a consistent value – say 60Hz – the displays will automatically framelock to each other.
58
17.4 What if I can’t make all displays the same frequency?
If you have some displays that can’t use the same frequency as the others, match them to each other. The CORIOmaster software will framelock any displays of matching frequency to each other.
17.5 How do I know Framelock is enabled?
Framelock is enabled by default – it is overridden if you use genlock, but in the absence of any genlock settings, Framelock is always enabled.
