NEP Studios Selects Cobalt 9000 Series

Achieves a "holy grail of system design" with common control scheme

(NEP Studios, New York) – NEP Broadcasting has selected the Cobalt family of modular equipment for the complex signal processing and conversion needs of two New York shows.

“We are frame syncing, color correcting, embedding and de-embedding dozens of signals throughout the plant. By using Cobalt products with the DashBoard™ control and monitoring software and OGCP-9000 remote control panels, we achieved one of the holy grails of system design: all video and audio processing under a common control scheme. The OGCP-9000 control panels are at key quality control points along the production work flow.
 
“Nothing like total rebuilds for HD in two weeks, for two shows, simultaneously, to test your fear factor. The Cobalt products are one less thing to worry about,” said George Hoover, Chief Technology Officer, NEP Broadcasting.

For more information on the line of Cobalt 9000 series cards for openGear™ and OGCP-9000 remote control panels, please contact Cobalt toll-free at 1-800-669-1691 or by email at sales@cobaltdigital.com.

Cobalt Digital products will be on display for demonstration in the coming months at IBC, HD World, and SMPTE 2009.
