tvONE C2-2x55 Scaler Setup Instructions

The purpose of this guide is to configure a tvONE Corio C2-2x55 Scaler.  The typical scenario will be to set the Corio to accept a 720p HD-SDI source, scale it down to sign size, and output it DVI to a VIP-5160.  The CORI Control software can be installed from the included USB drive or from the tvONE website.  This software can be used to import existing configurations.  There are also instructions to manually configure the device.
