    The project is uploaded into the C2N-DVP4DI compact flash. The unit uses the programmed project until another project is uploaded from a PC. Creating a project for the C2N-DVP4DI is similar to creating a project for a TPS touchpanel. It is recommended that you create a new project rather than coping a touchpanel project to a C2N-DVP4DI.

    Two new device extenders are available for the C2I-TPS touchpanel interface on slot 01 of the C2N-DVP4DI for touch input and output control. After dropping in a C2N- DVP4DI in SIMPL Windows, select Edit | Preferences and select Special from Symbol Set.
  • Page 66 Crestron Mouse Driver and Microsoft Serial Mouse Driver. All of the inputs are serial. A string of the given format issued to the C2N-DVP4DI on this symbol controls the mouse cursor on the C2N-DVP4DI. For example, if you want to control the C2N- DVP4DI mouse cursor using a CNWM (wireless mouse), you would drop the CNWM onto a CNRFGWA definition.
  • Page 67 All of the Touch Out Format inputs are analog. Setting a value for one of these joins tells the C2N-DVP4DI to output the control strings in a particular format. The strings are issued on the Slot 1 Serial List on the C2N-DVP4DI definition, on the first 16 outputs, starting at join #1.

  • Page 68: Mouse Awareness ("Touch The Pc")

    When the window is touched, the mouse command packets generated by the C2N- DVP4DI are sent out of one of the first 24 serial join outputs of the C2N-DVP4DI embedded TPS symbol, depending on which of the 24 sources is currently shown in the window (there is already a reserved join number for the window, to tell which source to route there).

    The System Monitor allows you to reload firmware into the C2N-DVP4DI in the event that you cannot load the firmware in the normal mode. Use the monitor mode only if you cannot load firmware in the C2N-DVP4DI and only after tech support has instructed you to perform this function.
  • Page 95 Crestron C2N-DVP4DI NOTE: Due to system complexity, the C2N-DVP4DI may take 30 to 40 seconds to reboot. NOTE: Unzip the Cuz file to extract the CSU file and use the CSU file to download the firmware. NOTE: Use file cp.dvp4.v3060.csu for the C2N-DVP4DI.

    Input synchronization for the C2N-DVP4DI can be horizontal and vertical (H&V), composite sync, or sync on G. Output sync of the C2N-DVP4DI is always H&V. Composite (480i) and S-Video Compression of all the video information (luminance and chrominance) into one signal was devised in the early days of color television to permit transmission over the airwaves.

    NOTE: The C2N-DVP4DI can accept Y, P 480p, 720p and 1080i require conversion to RGB. Crestron recommends a converter made by Key Digital Systems, model number KD-CTCAL (www.keydigital.com) for this application. Refer to page 96 for additional information about HDTV.
  • Page 99 Line 2 Last Line The DI in C2N-DVP4DI stands for de-interlacing. De-interlacing is the process by which interlaced video is converted to progressively scanned video. Interlaced and Progressive (de-interlaced) Scans of Objects in Motion Some de-interlacers simply rearrange fields by creating an even-line output frame and an odd-line output frame every 60th of a second.

    Figure 3. 4x3 Aspect Ratio Displayed on a 16x9 Display 4:3 Aspect Ratio on a 16:9 Display The C2N-DVP4DI displays a true 16:9 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio is full screen; the image fills the screen from edge to edge. Letterbox Display A letterbox image is scaled to fit within another aspect ratio, usually the standard television format of 4:3, and has reduced vertical resolution.
