The Cobalt® BBG-1034-AUD-PRO-DSP 3G/HD/SD-SDI Standalone Advanced Audio Processor with DSP Audio Options Support and Full Embed/De-Embed provides a DSP-based platform that supports multiple audio DSP options. When optioned with various diverse audio processing options, the DSP-based processing core (which supports numerous simultaneous processing engines) uses license “credits” which allows flexible tailoring of multiple proc function instances. In this manner, the BBG-1034-AUD-PRO-DSP provides much more flexibility than other audio processors that used fixed processing assets (for example, this flexibility allows “trading” credits for more Dolby encoders while backing out of loudness processors or other engine assets).
Audio proc options include Dolby® Real-Time Loudness Leveling automatic loudness processing, Dolby® encode/decode, and Linear Acoustic® UPMAX™ automatic upmixing. DSP options can be ordered with new-device purchase, or field-installed as software option upgrades. Included as standard features are downmixing, flex mixing, and full AES and balanced analog audio embed/de-embed.
Also included standard is bulk and per-channel audio delay controls that easily address lip-sync issues. Option +TTS provides high-quality Text-To-Speech synthesis, directly converting EAS text to digital audio speech with no baseband signal breakouts or add-ons. The BBG-1034-AUD-PRO-DSP is available with numerous options that expand its function well beyond audio DSP and embed/de-embed to maximize processing density and system economy.
Quality Check option +QC allows failover to alternate inputs or other actions based on user-configurable criteria such as black/frozen frame, audio silence or CC absence. The BBG-1034-AUD-PRO-DSP also provides analog CVBS video inputs and outputs, and analog audio embedding and de-embedding.
Preset save/load allows saving custom card 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-1034-AUD-PRO-DSP can be remote-controlled using DashBoard™.
The compact standalone form factor allows desktop usage, as well as the 1/3-rack size of the BBG-1034-AUD-PRO-DSP 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).
