About tvONE C2-8260

Take your video switching to the next level with the advanced tvONE C2-8260 Universal Input Seamless Switcher. This high-tech device is expertly designed to seamlessly switch between six DVI-U sources across two DVI-U ports, complete with audio. Utilizing the sophisticated CORIO2 technology, this switcher supports bi-directional 2-channel conversion between a wide range of analog and digital video formats.

The innovative system boasts six DVI-U (HDMI/CV/YC/RGB/YPbPr) inputs and two DVI-U outputs, offering the flexibility to select high-resolution DVI output as any PC or HDTV resolution. The state-of-the-art AutoSet feature simplifies your setup by automatically positioning and resizing the computer image to match the native resolution of the connected display.

Experience precise synchronization of incoming signals with the Genlock input, compatible with both SD and HD. This feature provides a broad subcarrier lock range with subcarrier phase adjust. The switcher employs motion compensation technology and 3:2 pull-down to maximize bandwidth usage for efficient video signal transfer.

Enjoy high-quality de-interlacing of PAL, NTSC, and 1080i signals, thanks to diagonal interpolation and noise reduction. The digital flicker elimination circuitry, combined with a high sampling rate, delivers clear and crisp digital images. The switcher also features Chroma and Luma keying, allowing one input to be keyed over another and enabling you to fade the keyed image in or out.

The C2-8260 Universal Input Seamless Switcher also offers a Mix Mode, which allows you to apply wipe, push, and cut transitions. With the Variable Image Shrink and Zoom feature, you can resize the image for detailed signal analysis or a comprehensive image overview. The switcher's settings are stored in a non-volatile memory, ensuring they are retained even when the power is off.

Customize the switcher's settings for various applications with user-defined presets. The switcher supports embedding and de-embedding of audio for SDI and DVI formats and closed-caption for CV and SDI video formats. The switcher comes with Windows Control Panel Software, and the control interface is compatible with most third-party control systems, making this device a versatile addition to any video setup.
