openGear® CardsColor Correction
A high-density solution that includes advanced frame sync/pattern generator and full-featured SD/HD/3G color corrector.

The Cobalt® 9980-CSC-3G 3G/HD/SD-SDI RGB Color Space Corrector / Frame Sync with Integrated Test Signal Generator and OGCP-9000/CC Control Panel Support provides a high-density card-based solution that includes an advanced frame sync/pattern generator in addition to a full-featured SD/HD/3G color corrector. The 9980-CSC-3G offers RGB-space color correction 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.

The built-in pattern generator (which provides calibrated 75% or 100% color bars among other patterns) preceding the color correction block allows 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 DashBoard or our intuitive OGCP-9000/CC Color Correction Remote Control Panel.

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 while not changing any other processing settings or aspects. Full user DashBoard™ or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network. GPIO allows direct input routing control and status monitoring.

The 9980-CSC-3G is also available in stand-alone form factor BBG-1080-CSC-3G.

Rear I/O Modules

Some Rear I/O Modules shown below may also be used for other Cobalt card models. This allows you to re-use rear modules from one card model to another. The Manufacturing Part Number (MPN) shown in the images below is the common code that is used to identify multi-use rear modules. Cross-compatibility can be checked using this number and About Cobalt Rear I/O Modules and Rear Module Cross-Reference at Reference and Help Documents.
