    CORIO® Console allows a user to control the unit from hardware, mimicking a classic video switcher device. Terms of Reference In order to operate the C2-7000 series, agreement on terminology is required. To avoid confusion as you read through this manual, here are the terms of reference used throughout.

  • Page 21: Device Overview

    Device Overview The C2-7000 series provides a means for the user to select sources from the inputs and present them to the two outputs in various ways. The imagery on the outputs is comprised of the video layers of live (moving) video plus static video sources such as internally stored logos and testcards.

    PERATION ANUAL Models available There are different models in the C2-7000 series – either incorporating a number of SDI inputs / output or not, or using a 10-way programmable button panel or 48-key non-programmable front panel.

    Should layer “A” be made fully transparent, then it would seem to disappear completely. The powerful Keyer function of the C2-7000 series takes advantage of this feature to superimpose portions of one window over another. Portions of a layer are made semi-transparent or invisible.

  • Page 26: Independent Mode

    C2-7000 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL 7000 series allows the movement of the image from Output 2 to Output 1 to be either instantaneous or the new Output 1 image can gradually replace the previous image on Output 1 via a cross fade or a wipe. The time available for the cross-fade or wipe can be up to 5 seconds, controlled in .1-second increments.
  • Page 27 C2-7000 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL From a practical standpoint, this means that there is only one lock source available and both outputs will contain the same lock source imagery. The Keyers can adjust the components of each Window independently so as to make a portion of the underlying Window pierce the overlaying Window and the logos can be used as desired in the Output imagery.

S-curves, when properly overlapping, will add together to result in full brightness. 12.2 Edge-blending requirements To obtain the best edge-blending results, you will need: 1. A perfectly flat projection screen. This is vital, or it will not be possible to perfectly align your two projected images with each other.

    PERATION ANUAL For use with dual-channel scalers such as the C2-7000 series, connect your video source (e.g. a DVD player or computer) to an input on the C2-7000 unit. It is not necessary to feed two signals – the C2-7000 unit can use the same signal for both outputs.

    2. Go into the ‘Adjust outputs’ menu and ensure that both scaling engines are outputting the same resolutions. (Hint: use Toggle 1 / 2 (Shift-1) to switch between 1A and 2B on the C2-7000 series.) 3. Go into the ‘Adjust windows’ menu and ensure that both scalers are set to the same ‘Source’, which needs to be your original video signal (e.g.
