Vine Micros' CORIO 2 Universal Scalers September 2003 by Kyla Sackett

After much research, we are proud to present our high-end CORIO 2 (C2) Technology! Utilising many years of experience in the video conversion field, this development is the first in our range of 'high-end' products using our latest C2 technology. Following on from our successful generation of CORIOscan Scan Convertors and CORIOgen Genlock Adaptors, the features of this C2-5000 Series of Universal Scalers focus on high performance and competitive pricing.

The C2-5000 Series of Universal Scalers so far consists of two Universal Scalers which are named the C2-5100 and the C2-5200. The only difference between the two is that the latter has an SDI input, output and genlock facility and consequently a more expensive price tag!


Designed for numerous display applications within the Live Events, Conferencing, Post-Production and Broadcast Industries, they offer multiple products in one unit at a quality and price that are, so far, unparalleled by others in the same class. Having a wide variety of inputs and outputs and the facility to input any resolution and output almost any resolution, these durable, 19" Rackmount units have a multitude of features that make them indispensible products to the Production Professional.



Not only are they a high performance Video Scaler, Up-convertor, Down-convertor and Multi-Format Seamless Switcher, they go far beyond that. They are also a Standards Convertor, Aspect Ratio Convertor, Chromakeyer, Lumakeyer, Picture-in-Picture Device, HDTV Convertor, Frame Synchroniser, Time Base Corrector, Universal Image Genlock and Logo Insertor.

By offering so much versatility, the C2-5100 or the C2-5200 enable Production Professionals on even the smallest of budgets to own a device of unparalled flexibility. Even those with access to larger budgets who use the C2-5200 can rest assured of a high performance and know that funds they might otherwise have spent on this type of product, can be used to improve other areas in the Broadcasting process. Offering multiple products in one unit and performance that outshines others in the same class, both the C2-5100 and the C2-5200 offer superb value for money!

Also developed alongside the C2-5000 Series is our brand new A2-2000 Stereo Audio Switcher which has been designed to offer Audio Follow Video or Audio Breakaway capabilities to either of the Universal Scalers.
