  • Page 18: Direct Control On The Coriomaster

    Due to the complexity of the CORIOmaster, only a few basic commands are described here. It is strongly recommended the user controls the unit through the TVOne application. For each command an acknowledgement will be returned.

  • Page 19: Input And Output Naming Convention

    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.

    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...

  • Page 35: Logging Out

    10.6 Logging Out The user may log out at any time. All the main screens have a button in the top right market Logout. When this is clicked the unit offers the chance for the user to save all the current settings on the PC for working off line for recalling at a later login.

  • Page 36: 11  Coriomaster Slot Screen

    CORIOmaster Slot Screen The Slots screen is used to pre-configure the input and output settings during installation. Once all inputs and outputs have been connected this screen permits 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.

  • Page 37: Sdi Input Modules

    For RGBHV, RGsB and YUV inputs the user 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 chose the appropriate colour conversion for each input type. However if the input has the wrong colour scale the user can fix the scale conversion to correct for this.

  • Page 38: Dvi-U Output Modules

    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 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.

  • Page 39: Sdi Output Modules

    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).

  • Page 40: Hdcp

    If the user presses yes the unit will change to output resolution to match that of the Genlock Source. The user 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”...

  • Page 41: 12  Coriomaster Layout View

    CORIOmaster Layout View The layout screen is environment where display area for the CORIOmaster is configured. The zoom bar, entry value, allows the area to be zoomed in and out. A wheeled mouse enables fast zoom in and out. The left hand side gives a list of available layouts, currently the unit restricts the user to four layouts in the system.

  • Page 42: Simple Layout

    This is performed by clicking on the left hand tab marked output 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.

  • Page 43: Layout Aids

    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. Below is an example where Layout 2 has been set up with three monitors rotated by 60 degrees anti clockwise and mounted with their centres horizontally aligned.

  • Page 44: Layout Grid

    12.2.1 Layout Grid For regular positioned displays a layout grid option is provided for the user. By clicking on the grid button on the layout screen a pop up appears permitting the user 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.

  • Page 45: Base Size

    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 the user is using identical monitors on a layout then the Base Size has no function. If however the user is wanting to position different size monitors on a layout then the base size function can aid in producing the desired positioning and sizing.

  • Page 46: Projector Alignment

    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 the projector alignment button should be pressed.

  • Page 47: Edge Alignment

    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. The user 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.

  • Page 48: S-Curve Correction

    12.3.2 S-Curve Correction Once all the projectors have been aligned the next stage is to correct for and brightness non linearity at the blends. The user should now feed in a flat brightness image onto the whole layout. (Currently this will require 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.

  • Page 49: Gamma Correction

    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.

  • Page 50: 13  Coriomaster Canvas View

    CORIOmaster Canvas View After setting up the layout the user can then build up the presentation on the Canvas. This is performed by moving to the canvas window. First assign a layout to the canvas, using the left hand layout tab, and position the outputs with the zoom buttons. The canvas will then show the outputs assigned to the layout assigned to the canvas as greyed areas on the canvas.

  • Page 51: Window Generation

    13.1 Window Generation Now select the input left hand tab and a list of inputs appear. These can be dragged onto the canvas. On first dropping a pop up window appears. The user is asked to select the quality of the window to be used. After selection press OK Now the user can size and position the window with either the mouse of the values set on the right hand side.

  • Page 52: Snap To Output

    The user can set up a grid similar in manner to that described for the layout. This permits the horizontal and vertical step size to be set and a rotation angle. The offset is now quite important as it can position the center of the grid relative to the now fixed output locations. A final setting is a default window size.
  • Page 53 The user may recall any preset at any time from this canvas tab and load it back onto the canvas for editing windows. The user may store these changes back into the recalled preset, so overwriting the position, or store it in a new location with a new label. The user currently has 20 presets available for this purpose.

  • Page 54: 14  Coriomaster Live Screen

    CORIOmaster Live Screen Once all the presets have been made the user can use the Live Screen to control their presentation. If not already recalled the user should load into the PC the presets. Once loaded the top of the 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.

  • Page 56: 16  Replacing Modules

    Replacing Modules 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.

  • Page 57: 17  Appendix A: Framelock Vs. Genlock

    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.

  • Page 58: How Do I Know Framelock Is Enabled

    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.
