3 CAPABILITY, DEVICE FEATURES AND PRODUCT
FEATURES
3.1
Device Capabilities
The C2-8000 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.
The unit features a dual-channel architecture with three video processing and scaling engines. Advanced video mixing, keying, edge-blending and seamless switching capabilities are supported.
These functions allow the flexibility for handling a wide range of inputs and outputs, depending on the unit used. Audio input, routing and output is available for HDMI and (optional) SDI connections. An optional Audio module also allows audio delay and AES3-id compatibility to support the A2-7300 range of units.
Supports DVI and HDMI resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz, 3G-SDI (depending on unit), Composite Video, YC (S-Video), YUV/YPbPr, and HDCP on DVI/HDMI inputs and outputs.
The DVI input and outputs on the unit provide the extra flexibility of DVI-U functionality, this provides the same connectivity as a DVI-I connection but with the additional provision of Composite and YC video.
3.2
Device Features
General Topography
4:4:4 RGB / YUV sampling provides full bandwidth color which allows precise keying where included in the unit’s capabilities. This can be achieved through the transparent (soft) keys on the front of the unit. Each unit’s video inputs accommodate multiple video and computer signal formats and resolutions – see specifications at end of manual for full details.
Ultimate flexibility
The output signal format flexibility assures that the native resolution of virtually any display can be matched. Because of the resolution calculator (included in the
CORIOtools Suite), even new resolutions can be added to the unit. Signal parameter adjustments can be made for each video input and are stored in individual non-volatile memories for retrieval once the unit’s power has been removed. The video scaler units employ pixel adaptive motion compensation to deinterlace fast moving images, and automatic 3:2 pull-down efficiently de-interlaces video from 24 fps NTSC film.

Simple Control
The unit can be controlled in various ways. One option is to control it from the front panel using the keys on the front of the unit. It can also be controlled via RS-
232/422/485 or via Ethernet using the CORIOtools Suite.
The CORIOtools Suite is available for download from our internet site and affords complete control of the unit.
Upgradeability
The unit also benefits from firmware upgradeability, thus reducing product obsolescence by allowing the installation of the latest version of firmware. This not only applies to the software used to control the unit, but also to the range of resolutions stored inside the unit, the addition of new features, and upgrades to the heart of the image processing hardware – the CORIO
®
2 scaling engine. See http://www.tvone.com/support for more detail.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
Shipping Carton
Your unit will arrive double boxed for maximum protection during shipping. You are encouraged to retain both boxes and all packing material so the unit can be returned in the unlikely event that repairs should ever become necessary.
5.2
Important Safety Instructions
The AC power cable furnished with the unit should conform to the type in use in your country. Please compare the plug on your cable with the power socket where the unit will be installed.
If you did not receive the correct cable, DO NOT attempt to modify it. Instead, immediately contact your dealer or contact TV One at the sales office nearest to your geographic location and request the proper cable.
Installation should be made such that the system fans are not blocked by other pieces of equipment, and such that they may not be accidentally touched by users.
5.3
Initial Operation Check Using Factory Default Settings
This product can be operated via multiple methods, but for the purposes of initially acquainting you with the operation of the unit, this manual will address the operation using the Front Panel controls.
If you have problems using the unit as described below, see the ‘Factory reset’ description shortly afterwards.
By default, both DVI-U outputs will display a CORIO2 test image – a PC monitor can be connected to ensure that the unit is functioning properly. We’ll be using a
Personal Computer for a signal source and a PC monitor that can support 1024 x
768 @ 60Hz as this is the default output resolution.
Disconnect the cable going from a Personal Computer’s Monitor to the Personal
Computer. Connect the output from the PC video card (the PC connector formerly used by the monitor cable) to the input on the rear panel of the unit.
Next, take the cable from the PC monitor and connect it to the unit’s output. Then connect the AC power cable to a working AC outlet, turn on the PC, monitor and then your unit.
Provided you have not changed anything from the Factory Defaults then your PC’s image should appear on the display as normal.

For DVI-D, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB and CV the particular input being used will be auto-detected.
For all signals except DVI-D, an adaptor cable is required for use. See ‘Connector pin-outs’ for more information.
CV and YC sources can be either standard NTSC, PAL or SECAM inputs – for example, from a video camera, VCR, DVD player, gaming device, etc. PAL and
NTSC detection is automatic, SECAM must be selected in the ‘Adjust sources’ menu.
The DVI-D input accepts DVI digital connections (but on a DVI-I socket for added flexibility). An EDID signal is used to ensure that the PC or DVD player outputting the DVI signal knows the available range of resolutions in the unit.
To enable an input for HDMI usage, set the ‘EDID to use’ to [HDMI] in ‘Adjust sources’. Once active, the DVI-U input will also accept audio via the HDMI link.

HDMI output is automatically enabled based on the display connected to the unit.
7.4
SDI inputs and outputs
These are present on the C2-8210 and C2-8260 only and are SD/HD/3G compliant.
The input will auto-detect the particular standard in use. The LOOP output will then output a copy of that signal (re-clocked).
The SDI output is active whenever the ‘Output res’ in ‘Adjust outputs’ is set to an
SD/HD or 3G-SDI compatible resolution. Typically these are PAL, NTSC, 720p,
1080i and 1080p resolutions.
Each SDI output is duplicated onto 2x BNC connectors.
7.5
GENLOCK input
The Genlock input supports Composite Video (PAL or NTSC), along with tri-level
HD signals (i.e. 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p).
You can enable locking to this reference source using the LOCK button on the front of the unit. The LOOP output is a buffered copy of the GENLOCK input, and remains active when the system is in Standby mode.
7.6

8 OPERATING MODES AND ARCHITECTURE
The C2-8000 range has 3 main operating modes, which should be selected first depending on the application the product is used for:
Mode
Switcher
Operation
Output 1 becomes a Program output, showing the transitions.
Output 2 becomes a Preview output, showing the next source.
Window A and logo ‘a’ support transitions including cross-dissolve.
Window B is used internally by the unit.
Window C is available for background or PIP usage.
Independent Outputs 1 and 2 are completely independent.
Windows A and C, plus logo ‘a’ are available on
Output 1.
Window B and logo ‘b’ is available on Output 2.
Multi PIP Outputs 1 and 2 both show all 3 windows, plus logos ‘a’ and ‘b’.
Application
Seamless switching
Dual-channel
Edge-blending
Multi-window
All modes also support Lock&Mix abilities, where the output is fixed to match a source on DVI-U1 or DVI-U2 and the image from that source is shown as a background.
The diagram below shows the full architecture of the unit. Different operating modes enable or disable certain routing within the unit.

Preview
In the diagram above, the Preview output uses Window B (that is hidden from the user in the menu system) to show the next source and window size. On a transition, Window B is used to transition-in the new source before Window A shows it – thus allowing for a cross-dissolve to occur. Window C is shown on both outputs simultaneously.
Both outputs run at the same resolution.
8.2
Independent
In this mode, the unit’s 2 outputs (DVI-U1 / SDI1 and DVI-U2 / SDI2) are completely independent of each other. The 3 scaling windows are split across the 2 outputs, with Output 1 having windows A and C, and Output 2 having window B.
Windows can be re-sized, positioned, have their source changed, etc. on one output without affecting the other output.
Edge-blending across two projectors becomes possible by using each scaled window to zoom into a different part of the same source. Window C on Output 1 can then be used as a PIP.
The following block diagram should help to explain the way that the unit works internally when in Independent mode.

8.3
Multi-PIP
In this mode, both outputs share the same scaling windows and logo channels – although the keying and layering controls can be defined differently on both outputs.
With all 3 scaling windows present on both outputs, plus two logos, an optional
Lock&Mix source and a background color, this mode gives 7 layers of video for the user to adjust.

From here on, we’ll be looking at the menu structure employed and the individual menu items that allow you to take advantage of the power of the unit.
You’ll be using the menu navigation buttons and the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to view the options and settings available to you. First press the left / right buttons to see where you are in the menu. Go into a sub menu by pressing the SELECT button once. To exit a sub-menu, scroll to the end of the sub-menu by pressing the right buttons to reveal Exit. Press SELECT to exit the sub menu.
You can also gain fast access to the start and end of a menu by clicking the up or down buttons.
You can edit a value in brackets ‘[ ]’ by pressing the SELECT button once (you’ll note that the brackets surrounding a particular parameter’s value will begin to flash). Change the value by pressing left or right. Then finalize your adjustment by pressing the SELECT button once more.
A few menu items have multiple parameters within an individual menu selection. In those cases, you can adjust one item at a time. Change one value and then go left or right to the next.
Adjust windows
H/V zoom pan % [ 10] 20
Or, you can use the up / down buttons to alter the value following the one in brackets. Therefore, in the example above, where “[10] 20” is displayed in a menu item, the one in brackets is adjusted using the left and right buttons, and the second number be can be altered using the up and down buttons.
Holding the left, right, up or down buttons for a short time will keep adjusting the relevant value, therefore allowing fast changes to a setting – which is very useful for positioning something on screen.
Holding the SELECT button in for a few seconds stores all changes in memory.
Unless you intentionally change it again later, the adjustment will remain even after power is removed from the unit.
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.

Adjust presets menu item
Presets allow you to store up to 10 different setups of window size, position and keying controls. These are non-volatile and can be instantly recalled at a later time.
They are only erased during a firmware update of the unit.
Presets only store and recall values in the Adjust outputs, Adjust windows, Adjust keyers, Adjust borders and Adjust logos menus (where your unit supports these).
To store values present in the ‘Adjust sources’ menu, use the ‘Push to Store’ menu item found in ‘System’ or the special buttons on your unit.

Once you have set your unit up in the way you want it to be, simply select the
Preset number you want to store the setup detail into, and select the ‘Store’ item.
At a later time, you can then recall the whole setup by again selecting the correct
Preset number and clicking on the ‘Load’ item.
The ‘Erase’ item only erases the select Preset number – all other Presets are unaffected. Erasing a Preset returns all those settings to Factory Defaults.
Some units will have dedicated PRESET buttons, in which case:
1. Press and release to Load the Preset
2. Press and hold to Store the current settings to the Preset
3. Press and hold for much longer to Erase the Preset.

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). The lock mode can be either Off,
Genlock or Lock & Mix, with the operation of these shown in the following table:

Off
Genlock
The output resolution of the Output is defined by the setting for Output Resolution and there will be no background source visible.
The output video will be “Genlocked” to the selected lock source. The output signal will be synchronous to the input sync and adjustable but there will still be no lock source visible.
Lock & Mix The output video will be locked to the selected source, the syncs will be locked (but with an additional internal video processing delay) and the background for the output will be that of the Lock source (unless foreground and background are swapped).
Frm.lock* The frame rate of the output will be locked to the frame rate of the input. This can only work if the output resolution frame rate matches that of the lock source frame rate.
‘Frm.lock’ will flash until a highly stable lock has been achieved.
*Only certain models support this.
In both Genlock and Lock & Mix modes the source selected for the lock input determines the resolution of the output image. The output resolution for the entire image can be no different than the resolution of the lock source. All synchronization signals are re-generated within the unit so they may look slightly different when compared on an oscilloscope to the original source.
In Frame-lock mode, the output resolution is independent of the lock source, but the frame-rate must match that of the source (e.g. 1280x1024 60Hz can be framelocked to 640x480 60Hz). Frame-lock is very useful for synchronizing a HD-SDI output (e.g. 1080i 59.94Hz) to a composite video source (e.g. NTSC), or for scaling one resolution to another while avoiding any potential frame-rate conversion artifacts.
'H/V shift' can be used to align the output to the input more accurately, but this may cause instability until the lock is re-acquired ('Frm.lock' will flash).
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.

Your unit can handle a very wide array of inputs and convert them all to a single output signal with defined characteristics. This output resolution will remain in place until changed or it may be overridden by the lock mode and source.
The top line of the display will show the current output resolution selected. Some units will have a limited number of output resolutions depending on their function
(e.g. Down Converters are more limited than Video Scalers).
1024 x 768 60Hz
HDCP (Active) On
HDCP is handled only on certain units with DVI outputs, so this menu may not appear on your own unit. HDCP is a ‘High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection’ system, which can ensure that a high definition video signal cannot be received by units not equipped with a HDCP receiver.
This menu lets you see the current status of the output and whether HDCP is supported or active, and also lets you turn off the output’s HDCP encryption system. Note, however, that turning HDCP off at the output will also prevent
HDCP-encrypted signals from being received by the unit – see the table below.
By default, HDCP on the output is turned On - so that if your attached DVI display is
HDCP-compliant, then your output will be encrypted (regardless of whether the input to the scaler is encrypted). Note that you don’t have to attach a display to the output of the scaler – another unit can be connected instead, in which case that unit is known as a ‘repeater’.
It is important to note that if your source is HDCP encrypted (for example, from a
Blu-ray player) then you cannot output any un-encrypted signals that use this source (such as SDI, analog YPbPr, etc.). Only HDCP-encrypted DVI or HDMI can be output. Therefore if your source is encrypted then you must ensure that this
HDCP setting is On and that your display is HDCP compatible.
Please also see the HDCP menu item in ‘Adjust sources’, as this controls availability of HDCP at the DVI input.

This menu may appear as either of the above – depending on whether the analog and digital outputs are controlled separately.
This menu item allows you to select the type of signal output your unit will provide.
Types of output vary depending on the resolution selected and include various types of component signals YUV or tlYUV (tri-level YUV) and the full range of RGB type signals RGBHV, RGBS and RGsB (Sync on green).
Note that this value is remembered for each resolution – so you can set 1024x768
60Hz to RGBHV and 1280x720 60Hz to tlYUV and both will be remembered separately. This value is not affected by a Factory reset – but is reset by a firmware update.

Optimize for SDI [On]
This menu item is only available on certain units with an SDI output and when locking to a CV or YC input. An internal de-jitter circuit ensures that the SDI output has a low jitter over the full 10Hz to 100kHz range, even though the CV or YC input may have a high jitter. However, this is not always compatible with a CV/YC output where the colour sub-carrier should not be de-jittered and needs to follow a Lock

Audio emb. [On] [DVI-U1]
For certain units with HDMI and/or SDI-compatible inputs and outputs, the audio can be de-embedded from the video signal and sent to a compatible output.
‘On’ enables this to happen, and allows the audio source to be selected. ‘WinA’ sets the audio source to follow that of the main window’s video source.

Items Associated with the Adjust windows group
This menu group allows adjustment to be made to window specific parameters such as the window source, its position, size and zoom level.
Window size adjustment can be performed in a number of different ways according to whether ‘Aspect adjust’ is set to Simple, Advanced or Pixel. The main part of this text assumes Simple mode – see later for a detailed description of the other modes.

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. Valid Input sources match those available on the front of the unit.
Certain units do not have full flexibility of Window source and Lock source when
Genlock or Lock & Mix are active (in the Adjust outputs menu group). See the

Zoom level % [ 100]
Changing this option, sets the amount of picture magnification you wish to use for the window Source. You are provided with the options to zoom the image from
100% to 1000% (10x zoom).

available on certain models), where the incoming video signal has a letterbox or pillarbox size (i.e. it has black areas at the top/bottom or sides).
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. This should only be used for ‘fine tuning’ and should not normally require adjustment – use the Shrink H/V adjustment when your image is less than 100% Shrink value.
Adjust windows
Shrink level% [ 50] [On]
Shrink Level determines the percentage of the monitor’s total available screen space that the selected Window image occupies. Adjustment is provided for a reduction down to 10% of the overall output size. In most cases, this feature is used for picture-in-picture (PIP) when a background image is being used (for units with overlay abilities).
Note that some units do not have the [On] entry – this is only for units with a PIP button on the front, with turns this entry On and Off. On these units, this feature is
‘Off’ by default, so that the full image size of 100% is used. Shrink level will need to be turned On before any change to this value has an effect.
Adjust windows
H/V position % [100] [ 50]
This menu option determines the position of the shrunken image on the monitor screen. This will move an image that is less than the full screen size left/right or up/down within the monitor’s available screen space. It will not let you move the image off the screen, so certain values will appear to have no effect (unless you use a very low Shrink value like 10%).

Temporal interp. [Off]
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 6 th frame). When ‘On’, smooth blending is applied so that frames are not lost, but blended together at the appropriate times.

Flicker Reduction [Low]
The Flicker Reduction menu item will only appear if you have selected a low resolution interlaced output such as PAL or NTSC. If you are using CV or YC outputs, this adjustment may be of interest, particularly when you have line drawings or similar fine detail. You can choose from four possible Flicker Reduction settings. You should use as little Flicker Reduction as possible because the Vertical detail will be softened at the highest setting.

Image smoothing reduces the jagged-edges sometimes seen within an output image by softening it. It typically improves the quality of a scaled image greatly.
There are four possible settings for this adjustment: “Off”, “Med.”, “High”, and

This adjustment selects the order of the window layers. Layers are shown for ‘a’ and ‘b’ logo screens, Window ‘A’, Window ‘B’ and ‘Z’ is the Lock Source. The default condition is shown. The number shown is the current layer of the active window, when you adjust the layer number the layer stack indicator ‘abABZ’ will change to allow visualization of the layer stack. Note that layer 6 the Background

9.4.1
Extended scaling controls
The ‘Aspect adjust’ parameter is used to change the way that scaling of windows is controlled. By default it is set to ‘Simple’ which allows basic control of the window zoom and shrink sizes and positions – enough for simple tasks.
In ‘Advanced’ mode, it allows the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) components of the
Zoom and Shrink functions to be adjusted independently, thus allowing custom aspect ratios to be created, or to convert from one aspect ratio to another.
In ‘Pixel’ mode, the user has direct access to pixel and line-accurate scaling functions. This lets the user specify the exact co-ordinates and size of the source image (within the video source), and the position and size of where this is placed in the output video signal.
The table below summarizes the different menu items in the different modes – the
‘Simple’ items have already been described earlier in this section, so only the

The third number (1.333 in the example) is the Aspect Ratio resulting from the adjustments, which is automatically calculated for you based on the incoming resolution and the H & V Zoom values.
Most resolutions are 4:3 ratio, thus the third number will be 1.333 (4 divided by 3).
Another common aspect ratio is 16:9 (16 divided by 9 = 1.777). PAL and NTSC inputs are physically 4:3 on your video monitor, but their actual pixel/line ratios are different and so will not display as 1.333.

These menu items work together to specify the exact co-ordinates and size of the source image (within the video source) and the position and size of where this is placed in the output video signal – in other words the ‘In’ and ‘Out’ positions and sizes.

This menu item allows you to swap the foreground and background images when
Lock mode is set to Lock & Mix. It will have no effect in any other mode (since no background is present).
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.
Note that this is different to simply swapping over the input and lock sources as that would affect the final output resolution – see examples below:

Y Key min/max [ 0] [ 32]
The Min/Max parameters are used to select what range of Y (luminance/grey-scale) values are made transparent within the selected window/lock source. In order to key out part of an image, start with the max value and increase it until the required lighter parts within the window/lock source disappear. Then adjust the min level to bring back any darker parts of the image.
Adjust keyers
Y Key softness [ 0]
The Y Key softness option removes noise from the keyed image, generally at the edges. Adjust as required to make the edges of the key as sharp or as soft as desired. The noise is where the analog to digital process (A/D conversion) may not sample a 50% brightness as being exactly 50% i.e. sometimes 49% and sometimes
51%. Increasing the softness value will broaden the range of keyed colors so that the keying of images varies depending on how close a color is to the keyed-out range.

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. Increasing the centre area’s value will compensate for this.
For 2x2 (or higher) setups, the side value can also be adjusted to correct for corner brightness errors

Items Associated with the Adjust sources group
The ‘Adjust Sources’ menu group accesses the parameters associated with the processing amplifiers used for each input (RGB, CV, YC, etc.). They allow you to fine-tune an incoming signal to optimize its color, brightness or even sharpness.
Not all settings are available for all input types, and not all input types listed here may be available on your unit. Also note that many of these adjustments may not show without ‘Advanced menus’ set to On.
It is recommended that you Store your settings once you’re happy with them in readiness for future use.

De-int [M.comp med]
An interlaced input consists of two fields separated in time. Both fields are required in order to make up the full resolution input image, but since they are sent one after the other, a moving image will have “motion artifacts” if the two fields are simply combined together. The most common artifact is a blurring at the point of maximum movement within an image. Your unit provides some tools to minimize the effects of de-interlacing of an image.

This menu item allows the user to specify whether the source has diagonal interpolation applied to it when de-interlacing occurs. This reduces ‘jagged’ artifacts on moving images, however is not suitable for noisy sources where the noise could be mis-interpreted as a diagonal or sloping element of the picture.
Source : RGB1
Noise reduction [Off]
This menu item allows the user to specify whether the source has noise reduction applied to it. This is performed by averaging the video signal over a number of fields – but ignoring areas where motion has occurred. If motion blurring is seen, it is recommended to turn this setting off.

Display emul. EDID [DVI]
This feature is only present on certain units – it is used with the next menu item to form a simple ‘EDID Manager’.
EDID is an information packet retrieved by a PC graphic card over a DVI link from a monitor which tells the graphic card which resolutions the display supports. In the case of your unit, it tells the graphic card what resolutions are compatible with it – by emulating a display.
The above menu lets the user select which of 8 EDID data blocks are ‘shown’ to a
PC or other DVI/HDMI source. (It does not affect any other input.) Note that some graphic cards will usually only read the EDID data when the cable is first connected, or on power-up.
The 8 EDID blocks are as follows:

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. Connect that display to the DVI output of the CORIO2 unit - the CORIO2 unit will then read it automatically and store it in the ‘Mon’ EDID entry.
2. Select which EDID memory (Mem1 to Mem6) to copy this information to.
3. Select 'Grab' and click on it - this will copy the current monitor's information to that EDID memory.
4. Change 'EDID to use' to that memory location (Mem1 to Mem6).
5. Store your unit’s settings (see earlier in this manual on how to do this).
6. Re-boot (turn off and on again) the CORIO2 unit to ensure that the graphic card uses this new EDID data (you may need to re-boot your computer as well).
Using the above, up to 6 custom EDID settings can be stored in the CORIO2 unit, ready for recall later. This is useful to simulate another display being attached to a graphic card.

pixel phase adjustment allows you to change the position (from 0 to 31) where the pixels are sampled, relative to the horizontal sync signal.
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.
Source: RGB1
RGB input type [RGBHV]
There are several types of signals that are called RGB signals as a generic term.
Each has slightly different characteristics that set it apart from similar RGB signals – such as how the synchronization signal is sent. This menu item lets you set the input type to use.
Available options let you select whether the input is standard RGB or YUV
(including YPbPr signals with a tri-level sync). For some units, it also allows selection of break-out BNC connectors to be used instead of the normal connector
(signified by B- in front of the signal type).

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.
Source: YC1
Luma delay [ 0]
On occasion, a video source will have the color portion of the signal offset from the luminance portion. If you’ve ever seen a poor quality comic book that has the outline of the cartoon character’s head in one place on the page but the flesh tones for the head offset slightly, you are seeing the print equivalent of Luminance to
Chrominance Phase Delay.
Fortunately, your unit provides a way for you to make the two signals occur at the same time on the selected image. The adjustment range provides both positive and negative levels of delay with 0 being the default.

Wipe size [100]
Wipe Size sets the ‘granularity’ of the ‘Wipe’ effect and so is only shown when
‘Wipe’ is the transition type. The smaller the number, the more elements there are to the wipe. To clarify by example, if you select the Diamond wipe effect and set a small number into the Wipe Size parameter, you will have a large number of
Diamonds present in the transition. On the other hand, a large number loaded into the parameter will result in only one or two diamonds being present during the transition.

Items associated with the Adjust ethernet group
(Please note that not all units have this sub-menu.)
Your unit can be remotely controlled via its RS-232 serial port, but some units can also be controlled via a Local Area Network using the Ethernet connector. This provides TCP/IP communications to and from the unit using a custom protocol.
In most networks, all computers and other electronic equipment will have a dedicated connection to a network hub or switch, with each item having its own ‘IP address’ (Internet Protocol address). This is the unique set of numbers that identifies the item on the network.

The network itself is usually segmented into a number of sub-networks. Small offices will generally just use one sub-network, with larger ones running many subnetworks that are linked together across a sub-network bridge. Sub-networks are split up by assigning different ranges of IP addresses to the different sub-networks.
The ranges are defined by the ‘sub-net mask’.
In very simple setups with 2 pieces of equipment (e.g. a computer and one other piece of equipment), it is possible to link the two together using just a cable (which must be a cross-over cable). However, this setup is rare.
Where only a single sub-network exists (as in the majority of cases) it is vital that:
1. All equipment has different IP addresses.
2. All IP addresses are part of the same sub-net.
3. All equipment has the same sub-net mask.
In most situations the computer will already be attached to a network, and therefore its IP address and sub-net mask will be easily accessible (e.g. in Windows XP you can right-click on the network activity icon to see the Support status, or check the
Network Connections in the Control Panel and right-click the ‘Local Area
Connection’).
An IP Address then needs to be assigned to your unit. Typically this will be by changing the last of the 4 values (that are separated by dots) to one that is not yet in use. The ‘IP add’ menu item is used to enter this into your unit.
The sub-network’s ‘sub-net mask’ then needs to be copied to the ‘IP sub’ menu item listed below.
For simple setups (where only a single sub-network is in use), there is no need to change the IP gtwy (gateway) numbers.
Adjust ethernet

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. Any changes made to this database take effect instantly and are also stored immediately in non-volatile memory.
2. Since this database is used for both input and output image processing, altering a resolution that is used for both (e.g. 1024x768 input and 1024x768 output) may give undesired effects.

H/V active [ 800] x 600
A video frame includes both the active area, the portion of the image normally containing useful visual information, and a resolution value for a given display standard which only expresses the number of pixels visible in an image.
The well-known 800 x 600 computer resolution standard simply means that there are 800 pixels/line visible horizontally and there are 600 lines visible vertically.
This item provides a way to change the number of active pixels and lines.
800 x 600 60 Hz
H/V Start [ 88] x 23
There is a period of time between the end of the Horizontal Sync pulse and the start of Active Video. This portion of the waveform signal is called the “Back Porch”, a term originating with the television broadcasting industry and its RS-170A specification. In practice, this will control where the video image starts on the left side of the monitor without changing the width of the sync pulse itself (another way to control where the image area starts). The two parameters control where the back porch is positioned and they interact to a degree.
By adjusting these parameters, you control the start of the back porch (with respect to the trailing edge of Horizontal Sync) and also its width. The place where the Back
Porch begins with respect to the Horizontal Sync pulse and the width of the Back
Porch have a direct bearing on where the active (visible) portion of the image begins. Do not attempt this adjustment without monitoring the results with an oscilloscope.

10 EDGE-BLENDING SETUP
10.1
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.
This guide is intended to summarise how to setup such projectors when used with a suitable number of TV One’s CORIO®2 scaling engines. The C2-7000 and C2-
8000 series are dual processors and therefore require only a single unit to perform both tasks, whereas other units will generally require two units to be used together, with a distribution amplifier on the input so that both units receive an identical video source.
Image 1 Image 2
Basic method of overlapping two projection images to create a larger one.
Because the two overlapping areas will create a brighter than normal image,
‘blending’ is performed on the edges to allow seamless merging of the images together. The ‘blend’ is basically an S-shaped curve that is applied to gradually reduce the brightness of the image at the edge, so that they can overlap properly:

S-curves, when properly overlapping, will add together to result in full brightness.
10.2
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. Every projector on the market is different, with different lenses, projection methods, brightness, contrast, etc. Ideally you will need to identical projectors to obtain the best results.
3. A solid table or mounting bracket. Once you’ve set up your projectors and aligned them, you will not want them to move – so some method of holding them in place with brackets secured to walls or ceilings, or simply a sturdy table, will be vital.
4. Adjustable mountings (or more preferably projectors with built-in advanced adjustments). Proper alignment of two projectors can be very difficult, but will be aided by using some sort of mounting bracket that is easily adjustable. You may need to be able to move the projectors independently in all directions: left, right, up, down, forward, backward and also be able to tilt them to correct for any rotational errors.
5. Adjustable projectors. Most projectors will offer certain advanced features such as key-stone correction. This will be vital to ensure proper alignment, as it will partly compensate for mounting problems.
6. Of course, you’ll need one or more CORIO®2 units (depending on the model) with the latest firmware that supports edge-blending.

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.
Zooming is required because each projector is showing slightly more than half of the projected image, and thus each channel needs to be zoomed into a different area of the original source picture.
At this point, it is only necessary to place the projector roughly where you would like them to be, with around 15% overlap horizontally. If your projectors are already fixed into position, check that there is around 10% to 20% overlap, or edge-blending will not be possible.
You must also ensure that both projects are in focus with the same zoom settings (if your projector has this). It is often worth doing a ‘factory reset’ on them to ensure that no other settings (such as gamma correction or tilt) are active.
10.4
Connections to the scaler(s) and projectors
For CORIO®2 units with two scaling engines (such as the C2-7000 and C2-8000 series), use outputs 1 and 2 to connect to the left and right projectors respectively.
If two single-channel scalers (such as the C2-1000 or C2-2000 series) are used, then connector unit ‘1’ to the left-most projector, and unit ‘2’ to your right-most projector. Hereafter, we’ll talk about Output 1 and Output 2 as referring to unit 1’s output and unit 2’s output.

For use with dual-channel, connect your video source (e.g. a DVD player or computer) to an input on the unit. It is not necessary to feed two signals – the 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.
10.5
Initial setup
This section describes how to start setting your scaler up. It is vital that your scaler is ‘clean’ of any user settings, so it is advisable to perform a full factory reset by either re-updating the firmware, or doing a factory reset (see earlier in manual for how to do this).

Figures ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ show how an original wide-screen image is ‘split’ into two using identical zoom values on Output 1 and Output 2. Zoom values for around

10% to 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.
To produce the above effect, you’ll now need to change some settings on the units:
1. On a dual-channel unit, set the unit into ‘Independent’ mode – this runs both scaling engines independently as 1A and 2B.
2. Go into the ‘Adjust outputs’ menu and ensure that both scaling engines are outputting the same resolutions. (Hint: use Toggle 1 / 2 (Shift-1) to switch between 1A and 2B on the C2-7000 series.)
3. Go into the ‘Adjust windows’ menu and ensure that both scalers are set to the same ‘Source’, which needs to be your original video signal (e.g. from a
DVD player).
4. For Output 1 (1A), change the ‘Zoom’ value to 190%, with H pan% of 0%
(fully left).
5. For Output 2 (2B), change the ‘Zoom’ value to 190%, with H pan% of 100%
(fully right).
If your projectors are properly setup and connected, with the scaler active with the above settings, you should now have a very rough overlap of the two images on a single projection screen. Where they do overlap you will see an over-bright part of the image, and most probably some overlapping errors.
10.6
Edge-blending activation
Edge blending is activated in the ‘Adjust keyers’ part of the menu, as follows:
1. Go into the ‘Adjust keyers’ menu.
2. For Output 1 (1A), change ‘Edge blend’ from ‘None’ to ‘R’ – so that it’s righthand edge is blended.
3. For Output 2 (2B), change ‘Edge blend’ from ‘None’ to ‘L’ – so that it’s lefthand edge is blended.
You will also notice that some red and green lines have appeared. The red lines indicate the edge of the screen, and the green lines indicate the start or end of the blend. If these lines are not present, change ‘E.blend guides’ to ‘Auto’ or ‘On’.
‘Auto’ makes them appear only whilst you are in the ‘Adjust keyers’ menu. ‘On’ forces them to be on all the time.
10.7
Edge-blending overlap / size
The blend size needs to be the same on both keyers, and is related to both the output resolution (‘Output res’ in ‘Adjust outputs’) and the zoom value (‘Zoom’ in
‘Adjust windows’).

There is a formula for calculating the edge blend size (E) from the zoom value (Z) and horizontal pixel width of the output (H):
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) = 102.4 [pixels]
There is also a formula for calculating the zoom value (Z) from the edge blend size
(E) and horizontal pixel width of the output (H):
Z = (1 – E / (2 * H)) * 200
For example, with E at 150 pixels, an output resolution of 1920 x 1080i (H=1920), we can calculate Z as:
Z = (1 – 150 / (2 * 1920)) * 200 = 192 [%]
For the recommended zoom value of 190%, the following edge blend horizontal sizes should be used for various output resolutions:

To set these edge-blend widths, perform the following:
1. Go into the ‘Adjust keyers’ menu.
2. For Output 1 (1A), change ‘E.blnd size’ (the first number) to the H size recommended above.
3. For Output 2 (2B), change ‘E.blnd size’ (the first number) to the H size recommended above.
It is very important for Outputs 1 and 2 to use the same blend width, or you will not be able to accurately blend your images. However, should your projectors be mismatched, changing the blend width on one or both of them can sometimes help
– but this should be done as a last resort.

Alignment of projectors
This is possibly the most difficult part of properly setting up edge blending. Using the guide lines, you need to fine-tune your projector positions and tilts so that the above-mentioned red and green vertical lines perfectly overlap to produce yellow ones.
Depending on how your projectors are aligned, you’ll get different results, each with different solutions as detailed below:

10.10
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. You will need to adjust both output channels gamma correction to be the same, unless you have non-matching projectors.
To change gamma correction:
1. Go into the ‘Adjust keyers’ menu.
2. For Output 1 (1A), change ‘E.blnd gamma’ (the first number) until the brighter area starts to dim – note the number required for this.
3. For Output 2 (2B), change ‘E.blnd gamma’ (the first number) to the same gamma value as per above.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, changing up or down as necessary until the bright patch has disappeared.
The 2 nd number in the ‘E.blnd gamma’ is for where you have projectors stacked vertically – e.g. for a 2x2 edge blend arrangement. The 1 st horizontal blend’s gamma value, whereas the 2 nd number adjust the controls the vertical blend’s gamma value.
Note that it may not be possible to completely remove a bright patch – this is because some projectors can not actually output completely black images, with some light always leaking through. However, the next adjustment is designed specifically for this.
10.11
Brightness compensation
If you find it impossible to completely remove the centre overlap for all images (i.e. dark images and bright images being projected), then two extra compensation adjustments are provided to help with this.
80
C2-8000 S
ERIES
O
PERATION

ANUAL
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. By increasing this value, it will increase the brightness of the non-overlap area.
To get this value right, you must first make sure that the units connected to the projectors are outputting black – e.g. in the Adjust windows menu you can disable the output. Then increase the ‘Eb comp cent’ value until the non-overlap area’s brightness has increased to be the same as the overlap (centre) area.
The 2 nd value (‘Eg comp side’) is for where horizontal and vertical edge blending is being performed – e.g. a 2x2 arrangement. This value increases the brightness of the overlapping areas, with the exception of the centre ‘square’ where all projectors overlap.
10.12
Aspect ratio adjustment
Since your original video source is probably 16:9 (or a similar aspect ratio), it will also be necessary to change your vertical zoom value differently to the horizontal one. This is best done after projector alignment by performing the following:
1. Go to the ‘Adjust windows’ menu and change ‘Aspect adjust’ to ‘Advanced’.
This enables separate H & V zoom adjustments.
2. Go to ‘Adjust windows’ for Output 1 (1A) and you will now be able to adjust the vertical zoom independently of the horizontal zoom. H zoom should be left as it is, so adjust the V zoom until the correct aspect ratio of your output is achieved.
3. Go to ‘Adjust windows’ for Output 2 (2B) and adjust the V zoom to the same value as Output 1 (1A).
10.13
Locking both outputs together
If your video source contains live (moving) video then it is worthwhile locking one channels’ output to the other’s – this will eliminate any line or frame drift, which may cause frame-rate conversion problems. This is best done by locking Output 2 to
Output 1.
For dual-channel units such as the C2-7000 series, perform the following:
1. Go to ‘Adjust outputs’
2. Ensure that ‘2B’ is selected – press Toggle 1 / 2 (Shift-1) if not.
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’.
81

ERIES

ANUAL
For single-channel units (such as the C2-1000 and C2-2000 series) you can probably only perform locking if RGB1 is available for use (i.e. you are using CV1 or
YC1 as your video source). If so, perform the following:
1. Either use a 2 nd to generate a 2 nd output from the unit with Output 1, or a distribution amplifier 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’.
10.14
Other setup approaches
The previous setup method relies on your projectors being moved and aligned to the 190% zoom factor. Other setup approaches are also used where the zoom factor is adjusted to the projectors’ current position – for instance if they are already fixed into their final positions.
Assuming your projectors are in fixed positions and you can’t move them, you will need to adjust the ‘E.blnd’ H-size for both Outputs 1 and 2 to be the same values such that they overlap, creating the yellow lines mentioned earlier. You will then need to adjust the zoom values according to the formula given earlier. For various zoom and output resolutions, the following values for the edge blending H-size can be used:

11 3D VIDEO
The setup of 3D video processing can be quite complex. It is recommended that the CORIOtools Suite program is used to help with this.
11.1
General information
3D Video is supported by extending certain CORIO2 unit’s abilities as follows:
1. Addition of the ‘Vendor Specific Data Block’ into the EDID data for the source to read.
2. Addition of the ‘Vendor Specific Infoframe’ into the HMDI signal sent to the display, which informs the TV that a 3D resolution is being sent.
3. Addition of the extra 3D resolutions, supporting Frame Packing.
The processing of the left / right 3D images is handled by different scaling engines, such that left / right images can be either split from a single frame (2x Zooms), or merged into a single frame (2x PIPs).
11.2
Frame packed 3D video resolutions
Frame packing is the simplest form of putting two images (left & right) into a single video resolution. Effectively, the left image is sent first followed by the right image – but with no vertical sync between them (instead, there is a blanking area). Video bandwidth is doubled, which then means that the pixel rate is also doubled – and hence both left and right are sent together at the same frame rate as they were individually.

Because the video pixel rate has to be doubled in order to fit twice as many frames in during the same amount of time, only resolutions that are of low enough pixel rate can be doubled and still be within the DVI / HDMI pixel rate limit. These are:
Resolution
Frame rates available
720p 3D
50Hz 59.94Hz
60Hz
1080p 3D
23.98Hz 24Hz 25Hz
In the above, the normal 74.25MHz pixel rate is doubled to 148.5MHz in order to handle 3D Frame packing of left / right images. These resolutions have been added to the CORIO2 resolution database.
For example, the 1280x720p 60Hz 3D resolution is actually composed of a single frame of 1470 active lines (plus another 30 for the vertical sync area). The Left 720 lines are placed at the top, followed by 30 lines of blank lines (but no vertical sync), then the other Right 720 lines.
Similarly, 1080p 24Hz 3D is composed of 2205 active lines (plus another 45 for the vertical synd). Each Left / Right frame is 1080 lines long, with a blanking area in the middle of 45 lines.
11.3
Scaling of 3D resolutions using a single CORIO2 scaler
To the CORIO2 unit, the new 3D Frame-packed resolutions (720p 3D & 1080p 3D) are just larger than usual images with some blanking area in the middle. Hence, they can be scaled to different resolutions with no problem – and will retain the blanking area in the middle.
If they are scaled to another 3D resolution (e.g. 1080p 3D to 720p 3D), this blanking area will remain in the correct place for Frame packing. Hence, a single scaler can support such a conversion. However, 1080p 3D frame-rate conversion (e.g. 1080p
23.98Hz 3D to 1080p 25Hz 3D) will suffer from reduced vertical resolution, since the total numbers of lines including the blanking area will be beyond the scaler’s
2048 line limit.

Note, however, that Zoom and Shrink (along with the associated Crop, Pan, Pos, etc.) are not available for use – since they would zoom into only one of the Left /
Right images and the 3D Frame packing effect would be broken.
A 3D resolution could also be converted to a non-3D resolution using a 1 st scaler
(e.g. 1920x1080p 60Hz), sent over a 3G-SDI cable, and converted back to a 3D resolution using a 2 nd scaler. In both cases, the scalers will correctly maintain the blanking area in the middle of the image.
E.g. 720p 3D 24Hz -> 1080p 24Hz -> 720p 3D 24Hz.
However, bear in mind that the overall resolution of 720p 3D is 1470 lines (720 x2 +
30), which when scaled to 1080 lines and back to 1470 lines will cause a slight image quality loss.

In order to dedicate a scaler per Left / Right channel, the Zoom & Pan values for each window need to be set correctly in order to solely capture a single Left or
Right image. Also, when outputting the signal as a single Left / Right composite image, the Shrink & Pos values for each window need setting correctly. The exact values to use depend on the resolution coming in and going out.
It also means that Zoom and Shrink can be used – although care must be taken to set the Zoom and Shrink values correctly to maintain the correct Frame packing setup (i.e. you need to Zoom into the centre of the relevant Left or right image, and set your Shrink position to the centre of the relevant Left or Right image).
11.5
2x Camera inputs to 3D resolutions using two CORIO2 scalers
By using 2 scalers, a single camera source can be fed into each scaler, with the resulting windows output to a single 3D resolution (one above the other) – as per
Frame packing mode. This then allows real-time conversion of camera sources to a 3D video signal.

‘pseudo-3D’ signal back to a standard 3D resolution for display.

11.7
3D Picture-in-Picture
A PIP can be added to a 3D resolution, with the PIP made to appear ‘floating’ out in front of the background video. This requires a unit with 2x scalers (and at least two inputs, one for Frame packed 3D, and one for the PC/Video PIP source), both taking the same PIP source and placing the PIP slightly offset in each Left / Right frame.

In order to achieve this, the CORIO2’s ‘Lock&Mix’ mode is required, so that the background Frame-packed 3D source can pass through untouched – except for the insertion of the extra 2x PIPs from the scalers.
Each scaler needs to offset the Left and Right PIPs differently in the horizontal direction, but they must be the same relative vertical direction. The Left image needs offsetting to the right, and the Right image needs offsetting to the left.

It is not recommend that the PIP is made to go back ‘into’ the screen, as this will
‘break’ the 3D effect if the existing 3D background tries to go in front of it.
11.8
Other types of 3D resolution / Transcoding between them
Frame Packing is not the only way to transmit a Left / Right pair of images. ‘Top-
Bottom’ and ‘Side-by-Side’ are also available, although in most cases they reduce the image quality as they squeeze two frames into the same signal bandwidth usually occupied by one.
In the case of 1920x1080p60 Top-Bottom, two 1920x540 frames are placed one above the other (with no gap between them). Thus half the vertical resolution of each frame is lost.
For 1920x1080p60 Side-by-Side, two 960x1080 frames are placed next to each other (again, with no gap between them). Thus half the horizontal resolution of each frame is lost.
Whilst there are uses for these two methods, the loss of quality is not usually worth the benefit of the extra frame rate (60Hz) obtained. Since most movies are filmed at 24Hz (film frequency), 60Hz is not usually required.
CORIO2 units that have at least two scalers are compatible with ‘Top-Bottom’ and
‘Side-by-Side’ 3D resolution inputs, and can then process them (and also convert them into the ‘Frame packing’ method previously described). This is done by setting each Window to process just one of the Left / Right pair of images.
Note, however, that outputting ‘Top-Bottom’ and ‘Side-by-Side’ may not be compatible with all displays as the relevant HDMI Vendor-Specific Infoframe data is not yet available in CORIO2 units.

12 SERIAL PORT
12.1
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. To enable connection between the two devices you will require one of two cables as shown below:
D9 connector type on C2 unit
RS232 cable type required for linking to PC
Plug – common on earlier C2 units ‘Null-modem’ D9 socket to socket
Socket – common on recent C2 units D9 plug to socket
Should your PC not have an RS232/COM port, it is possible to add an interface card into the PC to add this facility. Another option you could use is a USB to
RS232 converter. Both methods will add a COM port to your PC, although you should be aware that these generally do not default to being ‘COM1’ which is the default most RS232 applications will use.
Some units are also RS-422/485 capable – see the Specifications section for more details.
The default baud rate is 57600 with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. This baud rate can be changed in the System menu to suit other programs if need be.
12.2
Communications protocol
The standard communications protocol for your unit is text-based and is detailed on our website. Also on our website, you can find the Windows Control Panel or
CORIO®tool Suite for your unit.
The protocol is also bi-directional (unit and computer both send messages to each other), so that you can send changes to the unit, and it will also respond with any changes made via alternate methods (front panel buttons, menu changes and infrared control). This enables any attached computer to be aware of any changes made to the unit from an alternative source rather than itself.
What this means is that you can easily find out the exact command to send to the unit to tell it to perform a certain function. This can be seen by the data that is sent back to the computer when changing values on the unit. For instance, just by turning FREEZE on, by pressing the FREEZE button, will cause RS232 data to be sent to the computer that represents the command required to set FREEZE on. A second press, to turn FREEZE off, then sends the computer the command required to turn the FREEZE off.

13 ETHERNET PORT
13.1
Connection
Your unit is fitted with an Ethernet port allowing it to be controlled across a local network using the Window Control panel, CORIOtools or a 3 rd party control system.
The host computer will need an IP address in the same range as defined in the scaler, the default scaler values are:
IP Address 10.1.2.123
Netmask 255.255.255.0
The host computer should therefore be set as below where xxx is any value except
123 as this is used for the scaler.
IP Address 10.1.2.xxx
Netmask 255.255.255.0
The connection to the scaler may either be through a network hub or via a crossover cable as detailed below:

14 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.
Not all units will support the full range of adjustments listed – this will depend on the complexity of the unit you have.
14.1
Communication protocol basics
Packets of ASCII data containing hexadecimal numbers are exchanged between the unit and controller via a Serial or IP link (you cannot use both at the same time).
The Serial standard is 57600 baud, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit, although this can be changed by the user (see ‘System’ menu).
No flow control is used - however all control packets start with an ASCII 'F', end with carriage-return (13 decimal, 0x0D hexadecimal) and all such packets sent to the unit will be acknowledged (thereby provided software handshaking). Note that a line-feed (LF) should not be sent.
It may take around 30ms (0.03 seconds) for an RS232 command to be actioned and acknowledged – this will vary between different models.
ASCII-hex data is used where a number is encoded into its hexadecimal equivalent with leading zeros – e.g. Where '00' is decimal value 0, '80' is decimal 128 and 'FF' is decimal 255. In other words, two characters are sent for each byte encoded.
Any gap of more than 1 second between the characters of a control command sent will cause a time-out - and previous characters sent will be lost.
Write packets (sending command functions to the unit) are always 20 characters long (including a carriage return at the end). The unit will respond with a full 20 character message indicating what has changed. This returned payload will reflect the actual value of the parameter changed. If the user requests a value out of bounds then the limit value is used, and the payload will then reflect the limited value used.
Read packets (sent to request information from the unit) are always 14 characters long (including a carriage return at the end), the response from the unit will be a 20 byte message with the Write flag (since it is ‘writing’ the value back to the host) and the ACK flag set.
96
C2-8000 S
ERIES
O
PERATION
M
ANUAL
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. In some cases (such as the execution of a macro) multiple 20 bytes messages will be sent indicating all the parameters that have been changed.
Only one message should be sent to the unit, another message can’t be sent until a specific response is received from the unit (the user should look for a message with the same WINDOW, OUTPUT and FUNCTION values as they sent). If no message is received back within 1 second, there is likely to be a hardware communication problem (or wrong baud rate, etc.).
If absolutely required, to simplify programming the user may send packets one after the other with around 100ms (100 milliseconds) between each one. However, this will not work for all packets (such as Zooming into Still Images / Testcards or changing Logos) since this will cause the unit’s micro-controller to be busy, so the user must experiment and satisfy themselves that this is possible.

Below is a representation of data bytes in a single packet for a ‘Write’ to the unit to set a value:

A short-cut for debugging allows the checksum to be replaced by 2 question marks, so in the previous example you could send

Reading and writing macros
Depending on the unit connected there can be up to 7 macros stored in the unit.
These macros can be programmed to perform a specific task, for example enable
PIP mode, Position pip window at H=0, V=0, Zoom in to 120%.
The WIN and OUT bytes are not used for macro reading or writing and should be set to WIN=1A and OUT = 0
The CHA byte indicates the macro we are programming / reading / running. Macro
1 to 5 are CHA 0..4, CHA=5 is restore, CHA 6..7 are Macros 6..7.
Macro Restore (CHA=5) is read only, the units restore state is set by sending the
Store command (0C8).

Then the following items read the function and then the data for each of the items in the preset/macro. Following a read of the data for a macro internally the next item in the macro is selected for reading so it is not possible to read the same item twice without first re-reading the number of items in the macro.

15 COMMON OPERATIONS
This section provides step by step instructions for some common operations.
15.1
Operation of the Keyer
Some units come equipped with a very powerful Luminance and Chrominance
Keyer. The Keyer can take some time to master and below is a breakdown and series of simple steps to help you master the Keyer’s operation
When adjusting the values, please bear in the mind the following:
The Y value is the Luminance value, so 0 is black and 255 is very bright (white).
The U value is the B-Y component. This is the difference between the Blue and the
Luminance value. If part of an image is black, grey or white, then its value is 128
(being the mid-point).
The V value is the R-Y component. This is the difference between the Red and the
Luminance value. If part of an image is black, grey or white, then its value is 128
(being the mid-point).
15.1.1 Preparation:
1. Enter the Adjust windows menu.
2. Select the Source (this will be the foreground).
3. Exit the Adjust windows menu.
4. Enter the Adjust keyers menu.
5. Ensure the Keyer is Off.
6. Set all Y, U and V min/max values to [0] [255].
7. Set all Y, U and V softness values to 0.
8. Set all Y, U and V invert values to Off.
9. Turn the Keyer On.
At this point your source image will have disappeared, since all colors have been keyed out.
15.1.2 Adjustment:
Knowing which color(s) you want to key out from the image, e.g. black to disappear, perform the following set of steps:
1. Increase the Y Key Min from 0 until just before the required color (Key Color) appears.
2. Decrease the Y Key Max from 255 until just before the required color (Key Color) appears.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the U and V min/max values as well.
Adjust any of the Softness values to improve the key. If your input signal is slightly noisy or if you want to soften the edges within the image, then this may require you

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.

16 TROUBLESHOOTING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
If problems are experienced, please read through the symptom topics below in order to resolve the problem. 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).
Firmware revision numbers - found in the first item of the System menu:
If the problem relates to a specific source or resolution:
16.1
There is no picture on the Output.
If no LEDs are on, then ensure that the AC power adaptor is connected properly and the power switch is on at the AC outlet.
If the Standby/ON LED on the unit is off but another blue LED is active then check that the monitor output from the computer is connected at both the computer and the unit. Check that the output connector you are using from the unit is also connected at the unit and the display equipment.
Check that the display video equipment is set to the correct line input and format/standard as appropriate.
Check that the device connected to the output is on and can support the resolution set in the Adjust output menu, ensuring that the Sync type e.g. RGBHV, is also set correctly.
16.2
The image is shifted and not fully viewable
There are several ways to correct this, depending on the actual problem, although it’s generally best to perform a Factory reset.
Try an AUTOSET if the input is RGB or YUV/YCbCr. Next adjust the TL pos. adj. values in the Setup Program source menu until the incoming video signal is displayed correctly. You may also need to adjust the BR size adj. setting to ensure the incoming video signal is properly displayed.
16.3
The output resolutions no longer appear as expected.
Because any changes made in the Adjust resolutions menu are automatically stored, it may be that the resolution data has become altered or corrupted beyond the ability of a display to show it.
Either manually correct the resolution data, or restore the data to full factory conditions by doing a firmware update. The user should avoid altering the resolution parameter data unless absolutely necessary.

16.4
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.
16.5
The Output image is distorted.
This may occur where some of the areas of the image are very dark and others are very bright. The solution is to adjust the contrast and brightness settings on your
Output device to rectify the problem.
Alternatively, if the Adjust resolutions menu has been used to the output resolution in question, a firmware update is recommended to perform a FULL factory reset.
16.6
Some colors appear to be incorrect on the CV/YC output
First try altering the color, contrast and brightness settings on your TV or video display. These are usually set up for a very different reason than viewing computer graphics and may need changing to suit. If you cannot achieve exactly what you desire then alter the inputs levels in Adjust sources until the correct colors are restored.
16.7
How can I reduce color smearing on CV connections?
Smearing usually occurs on Composite Video connections and is generally unavoidable - unless you can switch to using S-Video or RGB / YUV connections. It occurs because the brightness and color information is transmitted as one combined (composite) signal and the two parts have to be 'bandwidth-limited' to avoid them interfering with each other – which then reduces the quality.
16.8
I can no longer adjust the Output image resolution.
When the unit is in Lock mode, the output resolution is fixed to be the same as the
Lock source input resolution. During this time the Output image menu item is not displayed.
16.9
The picture on the video display is black and white.
Ensure that all the cables are correctly connected. If you are using a PAL TV to display the output then the unit may be providing resolution set to NTSC mode, or vice versa.
16.10
The picture on the video display is green.
The Output type is probably incorrectly set to YUV mode, whereas you are connecting to an RGB monitor – see Adjust outputs menu.

16.11
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).
16.12
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.
Make sure it is in the right position for the output you want.
16.13
Image is flashing, snow is present, or source image does not appear.
You may be experiencing a HDCP compatibility problem.
If one of the sources you are using is HDCP encrypted, and your unit is not set to output HDCP, then your unit will not allow the source image to pass through the unit
(it may flash on and off).
The solution (if your unit supports HDCP) is to ensure it is enabled in both ‘Adjust outputs’ and in the ‘Adjust sources’ menu for that source signal.
If you unit does not support HDCP, or your output device does not support HDCP
(e.g. an analog monitor), then there is no way to display a HDCP encrypted source signal.

17 RETURN PROCEDURE
Before returning your unit for repair, there are several checks you can make yourself to make sure the problem is actually caused by a failure.
17.1
Are you sure there's a fault?
Many 'faults' are due to incorrect set-up or use so a simple checklist is provided below to help you identify potential problems.
Set the unit up with your equipment as described in this manual and run through the checklist. This will hopefully determine whether or not the unit is actually faulty and prevent units from being returned unnecessarily.
Check the Troubleshooting tips of this manual and check out the various FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) listings on the support website,
http://www.tvone.com/support, which shows the latest Hints, Tips and Solutions.
Don’t presume it is the unit that is causing the problem. Check that the equipment being used with it is fully working and setup correctly – bypass the unit if possible by connecting the video source directly to the video display.
Check the AC power. Is it present and is the unit turned on? Check that all cables are properly plugged in and are not damaged and then make certain that all equipment connected to the unit is working properly.
Perhaps you have a “frozen” unit and you cannot change an input nor exit from the current task. In that case, a simple 'Factory Reset' of the product may sort the problem out. See earlier section on Front panel buttons to do this. Note that all user-settings will be lost following an engineering reset.
It is also worth ensuring that the latest firmware is installed in the unit – although, again, user settings are lost during a firmware update.
17.2
To return a unit for repair
First contact TV One using the http://www.tvone.com/support website. Support personnel will determine whether a return to the factory is the appropriate solution.
If that’s the case, a Return Authorization Number will be issued. You should provide the following information for each unit:
Product type
Serial number of the faulty unit (this is on the underside of the unit)
Full details of fault
Invoice number (if available)
Units should be returned via insured carrier or registered mail (thus allowing a trace to be made if the Processor is lost in transit), with shipping costs and insurance arranged at your own risk and expense. Goods in transit are the responsibility of the sender and the supplier will not be responsible for transit losses.

Please clearly state the return number on the outside packaging and on any accompanying documentation. This will greatly speed up processing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT return a unit for warranty repair without first obtaining a Return Authorization Number. No action will be taken on a unit returned in warranty for repair without a Return Authorization Number
