EDGE BLENDING ADDED TO TV ONE’S C2-7000 SERIES PRODUCTS
Feature offered standard with new C2-7000 units, downloadable
upgrades for existing models available free
ERLANGER, KY, May 8, 2006—TV One will add edge blending to its entire C2-7000 line of multi-format scaling seamless switchers by early July. Existing owners can also benefit from this great feature since all C2-7000 models are firmware based thanks to TV One’s award-winning CORIO2 technology. All it takes is a simple visit to the TV One tech support website found at http://tvone.crmdesk.com for the free download. All registered customers will receive an email once this download is available on the site.
Edge blending is an easy task for the C2-7000 series since it is a dual-channel product. The images to be blended may be strategically aligned side by side or stacked vertically for seamless display, or multiple C2-7000 units can be added for more dramatic expansion: For example, four images can be blended into one just by using two C2-7000 units. Because of the C2-7000 Series’ ability to ‘feather’ any or all of the edges, images can also be aligned vertically, horizontally, or both to create unusual displays.
TV One products are based on flexibility, which is why edge blending is not limited to high resolution RGB computer images, but includes composite video, S-Video, YUV or YPbPr component video, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, DVI or any of the multiple formats supported by the various C2-7000 models. Gamma correction is employed to compensate for many of the problems faced when doing edge blending between projectors. For example, an instance where a linear ramp in brightness sent to a projector may not correspond to linear brightness in the display can be corrected, resulting in a seamless, uniform image.
Blending standard video images is simple since special advance preparations are not needed. A single video image can be sent to the unit and internally processed, divided in half with proper overlaps, and fed to two separate projectors from the two independent outputs of the C2-7000 Series unit. For interesting results, two separate images can be fed into the unit and processed for blending to create one seamless image. PIP is available for each side of the blended images and the amount of overlap is adjustable, making the final aspect ratio variable.
The edge blending feature can also be used for other effects, such as adding a soft edge to single or dual picture-in-picture (PIP) windows on each output from the C2-7000 products.
TV One will debut these edge blending capabilities using the C2-7000 series at InfoComm in booth #2049. For more information, contact Amy Fraley at TV One.
