  • Page 15: Initial Operation

    Initial Operation The unit is controlled via supporting software that should be loaded onto a Windows based PC. The latest software can be downloaded for free from the TVOne website. A high resolution monitor on the PC of over 900 lines is recommended.
  • Page 16: Connecting Equipment To The Coriomaster

    Connecting Equipment to the CORIOmaster The CORIOmaster has DVI-U input and Output connectors. DVI-I Signals can be connected directly using DVI-I cables. Due to the large number of connecters that may be connected the user is requested to use fully screened Cables with built in Ferrite chokes to meet the emission standards.
  • Page 17: Direct Control On The Unit

    Direct Control on the unit The CORIOmax range of products use a common set of commands. These commands are based on English words and are based on a tree structure with branches separated by the “.” separator. Not all commands are valid for all CORIOmax products but the software in all units will recognise and then reject commands it can not accept.

  • Page 19: Input And Output Naming Convention

    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 a module can be placed is called a slot and each slot is numbered from the top left going across then down.
  • Page 20 Likewise, the output numbering starts at 1 and continues to the number of outputs on the module. If a module contains both inputs and outputs the numbering convention is not affected by the presence or not of the other connection type.

  • Page 31: Coriomaster Control Software Configuration

    CORIOmaster control software configuration 8.1 Software overview The software has been developed to easily access all of the functions of the CORIOmaster from a computer. Connection is currently only possible by RS232. The GUI has been designed so the user has full control and a visual representation of the whole system topography.
  • Page 32: Unit Communications

    8.4 Unit communications On first running the software it is necessary to set some initial values. Click on the Settings button to configure the communications. The window shown below will appear. Currently the Ethernet Connection has been disabled in the software...
  • Page 33 Click on the right side of the com port window to activate the pull down menu. A list of available ports on your PC will appear. Select the port you have connected to the CORIOmaster and then click OK. The system will log all communications between the unit and the PC the default log file will store the last 10000 commands.
  • Page 34: Coriomaster General Control

    CORIOmaster General Control For the username type admin, for the password type adminpw. Now click on Login Please note: Five other login pairs exist (user1,user2,user3,user4, and guest). The password for these have pw added to the end. Currently there is no difference in operation which ever of the six login names are used.
  • Page 35: Save All Settings

    9.4 Save All Settings During operation the unit can be asked to store the current complete setup in non volatile memory. The user performs this by pressing the Save All Settings at the top of the screen. The user is asked to confirm this action. If accepted the unit copies all the settings.
  • Page 37: 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 38: 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 39: 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 10.4 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 40: Sdi Output Modules

    10.6 SDI Output Modules The SDI output modules should be configured for the desired output resolution no other adjustment is possible. 10.7 Genlock Function Each output will normally free run at the chosen output resolution. In many situations the user may want to have these outputs co-timed. The unit therefore permits an output to be locked to an input of the same resolution.
  • Page 41: 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 42: 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 43 When an output is selected by clicking on the box next to its name a pop up window will appear asking you to select a few options. The output resolution previously set up in the Slots tab is copied by default into the size values. This is the horizontal width and height, in layout grid points that the display is expected to fill.
  • Page 44: Layout Aids

    11.2 Layout Aids To help the user construct layouts a number of extra support has been added to the software. The Zoom All button sizes the layout screen to show all placed outputs. The Centre Layout Origin places the 0,0 point in the center of the screen, where new outputs are placed.
  • Page 45 Example: A user has to construct an array of 1920x1080 monitors that have a horizontal bezel of an equivalent 50 pixels horizontally and 54 pixels vertically. The horizontal gap between screens is therefore 100 pixels and vertically 108 pixels. By setting the layout grid to 2020 (1920+100) and 1188 (1080+108), and enabling the grid, A set of fine lines appear onto the central area.
  • Page 46: Base Size

    11.2.1 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.
  • Page 47: Projector Alignment

    11.3 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 48: S-Curve Correction

    The user should now use these lines to correct the projectors alignment by mechanical positioning or lens control on each projector. The aim is to make sure the size of the projections are the same by use of the green boxes and that the red and green lines are both parallel with each other and are projecting on top of each other to produce a single yellow line.
  • Page 49: Gamma Correction

    The software for S-Curve projection now permits the selection of any output on the layout. Each active output (red) will respond to the S-Curve correction, it is advised therefore that all outputs are selected for this process. With all selected and a flat white source displayed over the projector outputs the user can now adjust the S-curve parameter.
  • Page 50: Black Level Boost

    11.3.4 Black Level Boost Once all the above has been carried out a black input should be placed onto the projectors. In very low light conditions it may be possible to see a residually level of light following the blended edges. By adjusting the black level boost the level of illumination in the center of each output is raised to match that at the joins.
  • Page 51: 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 52: Window Generation

    12.1 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 53: 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 54 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 55: 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 57: Firmware Updating

    Firmware Updating The CORIOmaster has been designed for easy updating of both Software and Firmware to enable new facilities to be easily incorporated into units in the field. The method requires use of the USB rear connector to upload the new Firmware. Before carrying out this process the unit must have been powered up and logged into by use of the RS232 port.
  • Page 58: 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.
