Overview

The Cobalt® BBG-1080-2CSC-3G 3G/HD/SD-SDI Dual-Channel Standalone RGB Color Space Corrector / Frame Sync with Integrated Test Signal Generator and OGCP-9000/CC Control Panel Support offers two independent signal paths of color correction/frame sync in a standalone unit.

The BBG-1080-2CSC-3G offers dual independent RGB-space color correction channels with YCbCr proc features with RGB processing controls providing full offset, gain and gamma adjustments. The YCbCr proc controls provide lift, gain, saturation, phase, white clip (hard and soft), black clip, and color saturation clip.

Two independent built-in pattern generators (which provide calibrated 75% or 100% color bars among other patterns) preceding the color correction blocks allow setting custom calibration offsets to compensate for on-set monitor/camera colorimetry, with the custom settings saved to a preset, resulting in one-button recall of monitor/camera calibration settings. Any custom settings can be saved to user presets for instant recall via web GUI, DashBoard or our intuitive OGCP-9000/CC Color Correction Remote Control Panel.

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-1080-2CSC-3G 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-1080-2CSC 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).
