Dual-Channel De-interlacing Up-Down-Cross-Converter

The Cobalt® BBG-1002-2UDX-DI  3G/HD/SD-SDI Standalone Dual-Channel De-interlacing Up-Down-Cross-Converter / Frame Sync offers two independent signal paths of up/down/cross conversion (including independent per-path de-interlacing) and frame sync in a single unit.

The BBG-1002-2UDX-DI provides high-density that offers unprecedented multi-input support and flexibility. Dual independent up/down/cross convert scalers are specifically designed for broadcast video formats, with full ARC control suitable for conversions to or from 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. AFD processing can detect an incoming AFD code and correspondingly set scaling and ARC to track with AFD. This processor also allows independent custom ARC to be applied for each incoming AFD code, and set the desired AFD code to be inserted on the output, even if there is no code detected on the input. Bulk and per-channel audio delay controls easily address lip-sync issues.

A convenient input crosspoint can select from up to four SDI inputs to be applied to either of the unit’s two processing paths. The input crosspoint allows manual or failover to alternate inputs on loss of input conditions. With option +ANC, the BBG-1002-2UDX-DI offers full VANC/HANC ancillary data packet de-embedding and embedding.

Preset save/load allows saving custom settings while allowing one-button revert to factory settings. Layered presets allow invoking changes related only to a specific area of concern (audio routing, for example) while not changing any other processing settings or aspects. The BBG-1002-2UDX-DI can be remote-controlled using DashBoard™. GPIO allows direct input routing control and status monitoring. The compact standalone form factor allows desktop usage, as well as the 1/3-rack size of the BBG-1002-2UDX-DI allowing 3 units to be installed in a 1RU space (an optional mounting tray is available that provides secure mounting of the units to a standard 19” frame).

Key Features

Supports all popular formats: 480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i, 1080pSF, 1080p

Independent Up/Down/Cross Conversion with independent de-interlacing for each path

Multi-input RP168 clean switch, with manual selection or GPI controlled input selection. Path inputs can also be sourced from opposite path output with no external patching.

Auto-Changeover can be set to invoke failover for basic input loss.

Frame Sync with full H/V offset and manual/LOS video pattern generator. Pattern generator for each channel can provide raster/test pattern and patterns for LOS failover.

Timecode processing can prioritize, filter for, and convert between specific SMPTE embedded-video or audio LTC, with output/burn-in timecode using selected format

Advanced audio processing allows routing, gain, delay, and flexible mixing as standard features

Full audio crosspoint with delay control and 5.1-to-stereo downmix available for all audio outputs

Video options include color correction

Low-power/high-density design – less than 18 Watts

Compact footprint – up to 3 units in a 1RU space. Optional tray provides secure captive-fastener mounting of 3 units in a 1RU tray.

Remote control/monitoring via DashBoard™ software, OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel, or Web Browser User Interface

Five-year warranty
