Cobalt Digital At IBC2017
M

aking its debut at IBC2017 is a
Cobalt system that combines
frame-accurate SCTE 104 trigger (FAST)
insertion with enhanced HLS SCTE 35
streaming on a single platform.
Built for the openGear terminal gear
platform, the FAST-Stream system is a
comprehensive solution for providing
baseband SDI signals and HLS streams
with frame-accurate boundary points,
complete with the SCTE 35 metadata
contained in the associated manifest
file. Applications range from URL
address insertion for targeted ad
replacement to embedded DRM for
distributing protected content. The
FAST-STREAM OTT system interfaces
with automation and uses timestamps
to insert metadata frame-accurately
into baseband SDI, before encoding
the stream in high-quality H.264 for
meeting sophisticated digital
program
insertion
(DPI)
delivery requirements in real
time.
Cobalt's latest broadcastaudio processor, the AUDPRO represents the ultimate

in integrated audio processing and
encoding and is built on Cobalt's
award-winning and widely deployed
3G/HD/SD-SDI Analog and AES
Audio
Embedder/De-embedder.
The hardware supports multiple
accelerated DSP features that can be
added in the field, including Linear
Acoustic UPMAX upmixing and Dolby
E, AC-3, and E-AC-3 decoding and
encoding. Adding Dolby Real-Time
Loudness Levelling (RTLL) makes the
AUD-PRO a complete broadcast-audio
processing solution.
Cobalt's 9902-UDX-DSP-CI Channel
Integrator, a 3G/HD/SD-SDI/CVBS
up/down/cross-converter
provides
the signal conversion and processing
tool set required to conform input
analogue and digital audio and video
signals and their associated metadata

to meet sophisticated content and
channel
delivery
requirements.
Enhanced video processing includes
broadcast-quality
up/down/crossconversion with noise reduction and
detail enhancement, and standards
conversion between 50 hertz and
59.94/60 hertz video. Audio features
include analogue and AES audio
embedding and de-embedding with
multiple mixers and per-channel delay.
Optional Linear Acoustic upmixing,
Dolby decoding and encoding (E,
AC-3, E-AC-3), and Dolby Real-Time
Loudness Levelling (RTLL) make the
Channel Integrator a single point of
command and control.
Also on display will be Cobalt's
new
9971-MV-4K
Series
UHD
multiviewers with 12G-SDI support. The
multiviewers' UHD 3840 x 2160 output

is available via 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0
concurrently.
Visitors to Cobalt's stand will see the
new 9904-UDX-4K 12G/6G/3G/HD/
SD-SDI UHD up/down/cross-converter
and frame synchroniser designed
for openGear frames. The 9904 can
up-convert 3G/HD to UHD1 3840 x
2160, providing either quad 3G-SDIbased square division or two-sample
interleave formats, as well as singlewire ST 2082 12G-SDI.
Cobalt will introduce the new BBGDA-12G-1X6 brick form-factor UHD
distribution amplifier. With its superb
cable-length performance of 100
metres over Belden 1694 cable at
12G-SDI, the unit is a problem-solving
tool.
Cobalt's
compression
products
division has developed useful new
features for the company's popular
line of MPEG encoders and decoders.
Enhancements include the +RTP/
ARQ license option that enables ARQ,
which greatly enhances
performance
when
streaming over the
Internet or otherwise
unstable networks.
