Scan Converters with Overlay
Models CS-450 Eclipse, CS-460 Eclipse Internal
Key Features of the CS-450 and CS-460
• Auto Detect - Automatically recognizes and configures for incoming resolutions up to 1600x1200.
• AutoSet - Exclusive CORIO feature automatically sizes the incoming signal to exactly fit the video screen.
• Configuration Memory - Automatic recognition of previously used computer types and resolutions.
• Computer Loop-thru - Allows normal use of the local computer monitor while scan converter is operating.
• Genlock with Overlay – Superimpose (Key) computer graphics over incoming Composite or S-Video.
• Full Bandwidth Color Sampling - 24-bit sampling provides 8 bits per color for 16.8 million colors.
• Scalable Overscan/Underscan - User determined image size in both Overscan and Underscan modes.
• RS-232 Interface - Facilitates control of all scan converter functions by external devices.
• Infrared Remote Control - Use the full-function IR Remote to control all functions (Option on CS-460).
• Remote Mouse Emulation - Use the IR Remote as a Mouse to control the source PC (Option on CS-460).
• Flicker Elimination - Proprietary digital flicker reduction eliminates interlace flicker without resolution loss.
• Multi-standard Outputs - Menu selectable NTSC or PAL video output standard.
• Simultaneous Video Outputs - Composite, S-Video (Y/C) and RGBS are standard.
• Universal Power Supply - Compact worldwide AC Adapter for CS-450. CS-460 uses internal PC power.
CS-450 Eclipse provides the same high quality
computer-to-video scan conversion as the CS-400
Select, while adding a Genlock and Overlay feature. It
converts computer graphics to standard NTSC or PAL
video and its integral digital luminance keyer allows
those graphics to be keyed over an external Composite
or S-Video signal. All black areas of the image from the
computer can be replaced with the external video.
Choose between Hard (Solid) or Soft (Transparent) Keys
with five levels of transparency. Also, the Mix Mode
permits glitch-free dissolving between the computer
image and external video. The dissolve rate is adjustable
for both the Key and Mix Modes. Like all CORIO
products, the CS-450 has our exclusive AutoSet feature,
which automatically sizes and positions the image to fit
exactly onto the video screen. The CS-450 Eclipse has a
non-volatile memory that retains the unit's settings, even
when power to the unit is turned off. So, the next time
you use it, no setup is required.
CS-450 Eclipse handles both PC and Mac computers
and can be controlled from the front panel, via an
Infrared Remote Unit or by the RS-232 port. Its 2X Zoom
feature allows you to enlarge a quarter of the computer
screen to fill the entire video screen and the Pan feature
allows you to move around to any area you choose. The
advanced 4-Line Digital Flicker Elimination circuitry
provides crisp, clear images up to 1024x768, without line
dropping, at any vertical refresh rate. It is capable of
handling even higher resolutions. Video outputs are
switchable between NTSC and PAL and are
simultaneously provided in Composite, S-Video and
RGBS formats, as well as a computer monitor loop-thru.
The OSD (On-Screen Display) provides ease of setup
and status monitoring. A wide Subcarrier lock range and
Subcarrier phase adjustment provides the flexibility
needed to lock to incoming signals.
CS-450 Eclipse
CS-400
The internal version was designed specifically for system
integration, so the card removes the need for external
power supplies and greatly reduces the length of cables
usually required from the PC to the unit. The PCI or ISA
slots in the computer are used solely for holding the unit
in place and no data or power connections are made to
either of them via the bus. This prevents bus signal or
timing compatibility issues, and means that the unit can
even be mounted in other types of enclosures. The
internal version takes power from a spare hard disk drive
connector. It is supplied with video breakout cables, so
you still have the same range of signals as the external
version. Standard control is via RS232 (a 9-Pin D serial
cable is included to connect to the PC), using either your
own software or our CORIO Control Panel software. An
IR Remote Control is available as an option and requires
the optional Infrared Receiver Module to work.
CS-460 Eclipse Internal
is a PCI version of the
product. It also fits into an
ISA slot by removing the
end-bracket, turning the
card through 180°, then
replacing the end bracket.
