TV One is pleased to announces a permanent price reduction on the C2-2375A Universal 3G-SDI Converter. The C2-2375A, which was launched in March of 2010, will receive a new price of $4,900 USD, effective immediately. This is a 29% price decrease from the old price of $6,900 USD. The C2-2375A provides bi-directional up/down/cross conversion between a variety of analog and digital video formats, as well as advanced features such as seamless switching, picture-in-picture windowing, chroma/luma keying, integral audio switching and SD/HD compatible Genlock. The standard C2-2375A’s inputs and outputs are SD/HD/3G-SDI, DVI, Composite Video, S-Video, YUV, YPbPr or RGB. Additional options include a 3G/HD/SD input and output card, an audio interface module with various optional breakout units that allow 8 audio channels In and Out, with the simplicity of adding the cards into the back available module slots. Once power is turned the optional cards are automatically recognized by the firmware and immediately available for use. A redundant power supply is also an option with or without an additional AC inlet.

The included key features allow an image to be keyed over another and faded in and out and due to the 4:4:4 sampling format, precise keying at pixel level can be achieved. The mix mode permits seamless cut, fade or wipe transitions between input sources while the picture-in-picture function allows for one input to be inset into a window (of any size and position) on top of another full-screen video input source. The Genlock feature is SD and HD compatible and ensures precise synchronization of the incoming signals by providing a wide Subcarrier lock range with Subcarrier phase adjust. The C2-2375A also provides integral audio switching to route audio from the (HDMI-compatible) DVI or SDI input to the DVI and SDI outputs.

The unit can be controlled via front-panel push buttons, RS-232/422/485, IP connection, Windows Control Panel software and most third party control systems. Ten user defined presets are also available to customize settings for various applications and the non-volatile memory ensures that these settings are stored and retained even when power is switched off.
