solutions at NAB 2022 in Booth #
N3713 including the industry's first
license-based
12G-SDI bridge to
Dante audio, the +UDX-Dante-16x16.
The software-based
embedding
and de-embedding solution will be
highlighted along with the company's
new Indigo SMPTE ST-2110 solution,
its line of compression products
including a multi-link demo of
RIST, new Technicolor features for
reversible inverse tone mapping
SDR to HDR incorporated into Cobalt

12G mini
converters.
Dante is Audinate's combination
of software, hardware and network
protocols that deliver uncompressed,
multi-channel, low-latency
digital
audio over a standard
connections

Cobalt has made Dante's IP-based
audio networking solution available
to users on a license-basis, which is
field upgradable, by incorporating
the functionality into the Company's
9904-UDX processing card. +UDXDante-16x16
supports embedding
and de-embedding all the way to 12G
with full audio routing capabilities
between SDI, MADI, and Dante, both
input and output, adding up to 32
channels to existing 9904 cards for
a high-density solution without the
need for any new hardware. Users
will be able to ingest and process
up to 16 audio channels from the
network and will be able to output up
to 16 channels back into the
network using Dante and the
Ethernet port.
In addition to accessing Dante
on Cobalt's 9904 cards, users will
also have access
to the card's
other functions such as UDX, color
correction, 3D-LUT, frame-sync, audio
mixing which are still available while
embedding and de-embedding to/
from SDI.
+UDX-Dante-16x16 users can also
benefit
compact
from Cobalt's
and
BBG-1300
portable frame by
inserting a licensed 9904 card into a
frame, converting it to a standalone
chassis.
At NAB Cobalt will also show Indigo
2110-DC-01, its new openGear-based
SMPTE ST-2110 solution with dual
25G interfaces and 4K support. This
highly integrated factory option offers
best-of-class native ST 2110 audio/
video processing to the Company's
9904-UDX-4K and 9905-MPx audio/
video processor cards.
On the compression side, the 9992ENC/DEC
line has been enhanced
with support for decoding Dolby AC-4
and Dolby E, as well as
transport protocols such as
SRT and soon, Zixi.
Cobalt will be conducting
multiple demonstrations
including ST 2110
processing, multi-link RIST
in

boxes turn Cobalt openGear cards
into portable solutions, ideal
for
remote production applications.
The company will introduce five 12G
versions that include single and dual
coax-to-fiber, single and dual fiberto-coax,
and a coax/fiber transceiver
to offer solutions that go further than
previous 3G capabilities.
Super easy to use, all the units
ST2082, ST2081,
support
SMPTE
424M, 292M and 259M as well
as ASI and MADI audio. Error-free
pathological pattern operation is fully
compatible with other professional
fiber video interfaces, and SFP-based
EO and OE converters provide stateof-the-art
consumption,
and compactness. All
BBG modules receive their operating
power via a USB connection or by
using an AC adapter connection.
These power sources
simultaneously
can be
used
to provide
redundant power sourcing.
