About tvONE C2-8120

The tvONE C2-8120 Universal Input Seamless Switcher is a high-performance device engineered to facilitate seamless switching between 8 DVI-U sources across 2 DVI-U ports, complete with audio support. Leveraging the power of advanced CORIO2 technology, this switcher is capable of bi-directional 2-channel conversion, accommodating a broad spectrum of analog and digital video formats.

This versatile system is equipped with 8 DVI-U inputs, compatible with HDMI, CV, YC, RGB, and YPbPr, and 2 DVI-U outputs. It offers the flexibility to select high-resolution DVI output in any PC or HDTV resolution. The AutoSet feature simplifies the setup process by automatically adjusting the computer image to match the native resolution of the connected display.

The C2-8120 Switcher also features a Genlock input, compatible with both SD and HD, providing a wide subcarrier lock range with subcarrier phase adjust. This ensures precise synchronization of incoming signals for a smooth, uninterrupted viewing experience.

With the integration of motion compensation technology and 3:2 pull-down, this switcher maximizes bandwidth usage for efficient video signal transfer. Its diagonal interpolation and noise reduction capabilities guarantee high-quality de-interlacing of PAL, NTSC, and 1080i signals.

The switcher's digital flicker elimination circuitry, coupled with a high sampling rate, delivers clear, crisp digital images. It also supports Chroma and Luma keying, allowing one input to be keyed over another for creative image transitions. The Mix Mode feature further enhances its functionality by enabling wipe, push, and cut transitions.

The C2-8120 Switcher also offers Variable Image Shrink and Zoom, allowing users to resize the image for detailed signal analysis or a broader image overview. It features a non-volatile memory for storing settings, ensuring they are retained even when power is off. User-defined presets are also available for customizing the switcher's settings to suit various applications.

This switcher supports audio embedding and de-embedding for SDI and DVI formats, as well as closed-caption for CV and SDI video formats. It comes with Windows Control Panel Software and is compatible with most third-party control systems, making it a reliable and versatile addition to any professional video setup.
