The Cobalt® BBG-1002-UDX-DSP 3G/HD/SD-SDI Standalone Up-Down-Cross Converter / Frame Sync / Audio Embed/De-Embed with DSP Audio Options Support provides a high-density standalone solution that offers unprecedented multi-input support and flexibility. The BBG-1002-UDX-DSP offers a DSP-based platform that supports multiple +DSP audio options. When optioned with various 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. The BBG-1002-UDX-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 +DSP 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-card purchase, or field-installed as software option upgrades without disconnecting the unit. 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. Quality Check option +QC checks for and acts upon user-configurable criteria such as black/frozen frame, audio silence or CC absence.
The up/down/cross convert scaler is specifically designed for broadcast video progressive and interlaced formats, with full ARC control suitable for conversions to or from 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. 3:2 pulldown optimization allows A-frame to use alignment correlated to received timecode or 6 Hz external input over GPI. AFD processing can detect an incoming AFD code and correspondingly set scaling to track with AFD. The BBG-1002-UDX-DSP also provides analog CVBS video inputs and outputs, and AES/analog audio embedding and de-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-UDX-DSP 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-UDX-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).
