1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL DEVICE SUMMARY Device Capabilities ® The 1T-C2 series uses the proprietary CORIO 2 Engine to perform its functions, ® ® being the second generation of the successful CORIO products. The CORIO technology is a powerful toolset for any application requiring high quality video signal conversion or image manipulation.
1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL PC/HD Scaler This unit allows computer / high-definition video scaling from one resolution to another – for example, 720p to 1080i, or VGA to XGA, etc. This unit does not have any overlay abilities. Device Features General Topography 4:4:4 RGB / YUV sampling provides full bandwidth color which allows precise keying where included in the units capabilities.
1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL PRODUCT IMAGES Your 1T-C2 product should look like one of the units below. Each unit has a different main function (Down Converter or Video Scaler) and a subsequently different ability to process video signals.
1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The range of buttons on the front of the unit provides the user with quick access for selecting a variety of inputs and features. Since all the units in the 1T-C2 series are different, not all of the descriptions below will be applicable to the unit in question.
1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL MENU and buttons The on-screen display (OSD) is controlled from the front panel by using these buttons.

The command F0400410082000001C8 has the checksum of 04+00+41+00+82+00+00+01=C8, so the complete command to send is F0400410082000001C8. A short-cut for debugging allows the checksum to be replaced by 2 question marks, so in the previous example you could send F0400410082000001?? Instead.

1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT If problems are experienced, please read through the symptom topics below in order to resolve the problem. After doing so, if you still need to, contact Technical Support at http://www.tvone.com/support. Please have the following details of the problem handy: Whether the problem happens only at specific times or has only just started occurring (and what other things have changed at the same time).
1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL 12.4 There is excessive flicker on the Output. Try using a different Flicker reduction mode. Turning the contrast down and the brightness up on the output device can have a large effect on flicker. Or try adjusting the brightness and contrast of the source input by selecting the Input adjust menu.
1T-C2 S ERIES PERATION ANUAL 12.11 The RGB input is selected but the image is rolling or pink. Check the Adjust sources menu and confirm that the input type and sync method is set correctly. (Having YUV input selected, instead of RGBHV often causes this problem).
