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).
