|
|
Ok I just got some info on whats going on. june should be the start of the new and improved C2-2000 series, these will do 1080p is all i got but this was from a sales man not an engineer. He said they will have anew chip and will all be HD SDI I/O capable !!!!So fromt he new chip it sounds like that was the 1080p60 we were all new would come he didnt answer my 72hz question but Andy (MadMrH) says the engineers say it could be possible with timing settings adjusted(like in the lumagen and VP50).
Now for the C2-7000 series,that wount be upgraded till late this year or january 2009 hopefully. key word he used was hopefully. good news is no price changes
Regarding the C2-2000A i am not sure what that is it might be new model or a rebadged older unit. I hope its a newer lower priced model. I asked if the legacy models will be able to be sent in for the upgrades , the answer was no. so we have to wait. and if you were looking at the lower priced discount places i think they would ned to get rid of their older stock first so i personaly might not order my units till august just to make sure the older units are gone unless they keep the A suffix at the end of the units.
these are the units he mentioned:
2200A, 2250A, 2155A 2100A adds 1080P
so this is what I know or don't know so far

Let me add some details to your information on the new TVOne units.
1 - All new products will be physically identical to their existing lineup.
2 - If a product had an SDI input before, it will now be an HD-SDI input.
3 - If a product did not have an SDI input, the new one won't.
4 - All DVI inputs will be HDCP compliant (obviously video only)
5 - The DVI input can accept up to 1920X1200 @ 60Hz. (obviously can do 1080P@ 60Hz.)
6 - The sampling rate has been increased to 162MHz.
8 - Of the C2-2000A series, only the C2-2250A and C2-2255A can do edge blending.
9 - The C2-2250A has an MSRP of $2,495
10-The C2-2255A has an MSRP of $2,995 as it adds an HD-SDI input.
11-There is a rack mount kit available that can hold two C2 series as an option.
12-The IR remote is also available as an option.
13-If you order any of these, you will get the "A" model, not the old series.
I have been told that if an order is placed soon, you can be assured that you will take delivery in June. If you wait until after the first production run, there is a possibility you might have to wait for availability.
When I get back in town, I will be ordering a pair of the C2-2250A's, and since I am already set up with everything else in place, I should be watching some blended movies within a day or two after delivery.
I will certainly share my results as best I can. I Will initially set up for 1080P@60, and then when any bugs are worked out, I'll try for 72Hz, and also some other resolutions. It should be able to do it based on specs, but there is only one way to know for sure!
BTW, I am not getting the 2255 because I will be feeding these with a VP50Pro which has dual HD-SDI inputs.
Thanks,
Bob

Price update, B&H Photo i think has the cheapest prices I have found so far 1945.95 fort he C2-2250, I am unsure if they will raise that price for the new unit or if orderd it will be the new unit.
Bob,
Are you sure that they will no longer ship the older units? I would not want to order the units then have the older ones sent by one of their retailers like B&H.

I was told that if you use model # C2-2250A, you will get the right one.

Some news from the TvOneEngineer over on avs
Quote: | Hi Guys,
Ok im back, we have been in discussions for the last few weeks on the new range of products that will appear in 2008/09/10 and a whole load of OEM's following NAB so have been pretty well out of touch since then.
The new products will be new versions of the current C2-2000 series, so this will be the C2-2100A, C2-2105A, C2-2150A, C2-2155A, C2-2200A, C2-2205A, C2-2250A, C2-2255A, C2-2350A, C2-2355A. These units are totally new hardware using the very latest HDMI/DVI receivers & Transmitters on the market, and have a new revision of the CORIO core scaling Engine. The new engine give us way beyond the old 108Mhz sampling rates and hence will allow the input on DVI up to the limit of single link DVI. We have also made these HDMI compatible and HDCP compatible. At long last !
The core also provides temporal interpolation and diagonal interpolation, so frame rate conversion is now much better and so is the de-interlacing.
I think I have now managed to enable notifications for this list so ishould now know when I need to reply
Send me your questions !
Best regards
Rob |

I already Ordered two C2-2250's after talking with Steve Tullo at Tv-One. So what will the maximum scan rate output now be for 1080p? Will it be able to handle that at 72Mhz ? Also I splitter will be needed will the Tv-)ne splitter be u8pgraded to also have a higher clock rate or the ones in use now capable,.... After just thinking about this we will most likely be outputting 1080p24 from the source so i guess the answer will be Yes.
Can you tell us what types of color contls and gamma controls these will have? Also if the gamma is just for the blend zone. It be nice if they also have an 11 point gamma for the entire image from 0-100 ire steps, for both the blend and entire image . I am not sure how this will be done, maybe onece the blend zone is set up a global gammma can be introduced?

Quote: | Well the max output is the limit of single link DVI, so 162Mhz. However we got our new wizzy display port monitor this week which will do insane resolutions, so we tested the output to see how far we could over clock the DVI transmitter and we managed about 200Mhz before it fell over this could be the point at which the screens DVI decoder couldn't handle the over clocking. So in summary the offical max output will be any resolution up to 162Mhz, but I managed to get 1080P85 - but that may have been luck !
Initially the control are the same as on the current 2000 series but we are looking at making the S Curve custom and the individual R & G & B gamma curves custom too, but that will be a later free firmware update.

WOW he overcloked it at 200mhz 1080p@85!!!!! Awesome!!!! If we do the scope at say 817p we might be able to hit 96 easy and not sure about 120mhz!!!!

For the love of god, make sure this can be turned off!!!! I've seen the 120 Hz flat panels with temporal interpolation and call me a Luddite, but I want my film material left at 24 fps--just do frame rate conversion, don't interpolate frames!!!!

I agree.
Besides Temopral interpolation might lead to temporal anomalies, then rifts in the space/time continuum.... next thing you know you've got William Shatner in your kitchen looking for some Tholian eggs...... Try getting him out of your house

So how do these things get hooked up to produce your blend?
Sorry if i'm a bit behind the curve

I have two C2-2250's so you need a splitter to get the source to both blend units, I geffen geffen dvi spitter and Moomes HD-MUX which has a dvi and an HDMI(both outputs mirror each other)incase i want to go RGBHV to my Marquees instead of the Moome card. I am going to experiment once its all set up. For now i onlty have one PJ ready the other needs some mods done to it.
I just hooked it up to one PJ just to mess around with it to get the feel of the menu.
Chain is:: LG BH100>1080p24>Lumagen HDQ>1080p24>Moome HD-MUX>TV-One C2-2250>1080p60>Moome VIM-HD.
So far it looks nice and sharp i took the lumie out to see if it looks any better and it may be a bit sharper due to one less thing in the chain but i need the lumie as a switcher for now since it has sdi and i I love my panny SDI player. IF i can get the control and adjustment value and the gamma factor is not to bad using the moome card I will do away with the Lumagen and get a SDI to DVI/HDMI converter for the Panny to the HD-MUX(4 HDMI inputs).
Lots of work before an actual blend image is up.

Ok, sorry if i'm asking dumb questions....
Why is the lumagen in the chain? What does it do that the tv-one doesnt??? I re-read the post above...is it just for switching???

for now yes, Also it has gret controls for image adjustments, size, timings,position, and most important the gamma at 11 points of adjustment.
Were trying to have TV-One implement that into their units. they have Gamma for the blend zone as it is neede there or else you couldnt blend, but we are asking ofr a final global gamma once the blend Zone's gamma is set. Also when you have to split the signal to two Units there would be alot more equipment in the rack for each source units splitter, plus all the money for another set of cables!!!

LG BH100>1080p24>Lumagen HDQ>1080p24>Moome HD-MUX>TV-One C2-2250>1080p60>Moome VIM-HD.
>TV-One C2-2250>1080p60>Moome VIM-HD
With a splitter between the HD-mux and the pair of tv one units???
