3.5 Input Sources
The C2-7000 series accepts a very wide range of input types. Adaptors are
provided to allow configuration of the device to accept and process virtually
any image source. The device will automatically identify the signal type or
image resolution for virtually any input and manual intervention is possible for
many non-standard inputs.
Valid processor inputs also include sources not associated with the input
connectors. Firstly there are multiple test cards which are stored within the
device’s non-volatile memory for later recall. Secondly it is even possible to
internally cascade one output using it as the Input Source for the second
processor.
3.6 Outputs
Two Outputs are provided on the C2-7000 series. The user can select the
type of output signal desired for each Output and each Output can be
adjusted independently of the other. The exact function of the Output depends
on the mode as explained previously.
3.7 Windows
Windows can be thought of as containers for imagery. Input selections from
the various connectors as well as integration of internal sources such as
Logos are all part of the Windowing capabilities of the C2-7000 series.
There are two scalable windows available for use, ‘A’ and ‘B’––one for each
processor in the C2-7000 series–– and each is part of the layering hierarchy
used in the C2-7000 series. Images can be zoomed, shrunk, keyed,
positioned and scaled within the Window or as a part of the Window. There is
also a Lock Source Window ‘Z’, plus Logo ‘a’ and Logo ‘b’ none of which are
re-sizeable.
The Window itself can be thought of as a hole cut into the overall output
image. The edges of the cut out can be hard or soft and the nature of the
Window itself can be opaque, semi-transparent or invisible depending on how
the various Layers, Fade levels and Keyers are set up.
Within the nomenclature that follows, the Windows will be associated with one
or both of the two Outputs as explained in the section detailing Modes of
Operation.
Windows are an integral part of the C2-7000 series and play a central part in
understanding how to operate the device.
