Device Capabilities
The C2-1000 series uses the proprietary CORIO
®
2 Engine to perform its functions,
being the second generation of the successful CORIO
®
products. The CORIO
®
2
technology is a powerful toolset for any application requiring high quality video signal
conversion or image manipulation.
All units feature a single video processing and scaling engine, with some unit’s also
featuring video mixing, keying and fader capabilities.
These functions allow the flexibility for handling a wide range of inputs and outputs,
depending on the unit used.
All units are at one in the home and broadcast & display environments. The C2-1000
series offers a range of high-level image processing functions – with each model
designed to fulfill a particular need.
The following is a summary of the main types of product available in the C2-1000
series, as marked on the front of each unit:
Down Converter
Down converting an image is when a computer PC or HD input is inputted to the unit.
The input signal is then converted into a suitable signal which can then be displayed
for use on a video screen or television, such as composite video.
Down Converter PLUS
This unit has all the features of a Down Converter, but it also has the added facility to
superimpose the inputted computer image on top of an existing video signal. This is
achieved with the unit’s inbuilt facilities such as Keying, Picture in Picture (PIP), and
Fading.
Video Scaler
This unit allows for a standard television video signal, such as Composite Video, to
be input into the unit and then converted for use on a computer display. When using
this function you can switch back to the computer image by pressing a button. This is
known as bypass mode.
Video Scaler PLUS
Video Scaler PLUS has all the features of the Video Scaler unit, but with the added
facility of superimposing the converted video signal over the top of an existing
computer video signal. This is achieved by using the unit’s inbuilt features such as
Keying, Picture in Picture (PIP), Fading, and the facility to switch between overlaying
the foreground over the background and vice versa – background/foreground
priority.
