New 3G-SDI Multiviewer from TV One on display at ISE 2010

29 January 2010

Kent, UK - TV One announced the release of the new CORIOview C2-6204 4-Window 3G-SDI Processor which will be demonstrated on the TV One stand 3B90 during the ISE 2010 Exhibition held in February at the Amsterdam RAI, Netherlands.

When used on its own the C2-6204 provides accommodation for four 3G-SDI inputs allowing the user to place up to four windows of any size in any position on one screen.

A fifth DVI input is also available and can be used as another full-size and un-scaled background image. Alternatively, this fifth input can be used to cascade multiple CORIOview Multiviewers together thus adding four more windows per unit. It has a DVI-I output as well as a duplicate 3G-SDI capable output.

Each window can have audio bars present, showing the activity of any audio in the SDI source signal. Up to four stereo audio bars may be displayed in each window with different colours showing activity at certain amplitudes of signal.

Coloured borders and source labelling are also provided for each window and fifty user defined presets (controllable directly from the front panel as well as external communications) allows for the quick recall of customised settings for various applications.

Non-volatile memory ensures that all settings stored by the user are retained even when the power is switched off. Four Still Image Stores are built into the C2-6204 which can display one of ten user loadable images, stored in Flash Memory, in place of an input.

3G-SDI resolutions up to 1080p60 are supported along with DVI-D resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz and 1080p and DVI-A (RGBHV/YUV/YPbPr) resolutions up to 2048x2048 at virtually any refresh rate. High-performance de-interlacing with motion-adaptive noise reduction are available for interlaced sources.

All of the four window inputs can be scaled to match any of the aforementioned formats and resolutions and furthermore, custom resolutions can be added quickly and easily using available software from TV One.

In addition to the scaling capability, additional advanced features are all standard within the CORIOview C2-6204 Multiviewer including Seamless Switching, Genlock, Chromakey, Lumakey and Mixing. The Key mode allows any window to be keyed over any other with variable priority / layer control. The keyed image can also be faded in and out.

A built-in LCD and menu system contributes to a quick set up and ease of use, with functions being controlled using the front-panel push buttons, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 or Ethernet. The CORIO tool Suite integrates fully with the C2-6204 and most third party control systems can also interface directly with the unit.

The unit is housed in a 1RU case with rackmount ears provided for easy installation and powered from a standard 110-240v supply.
