The Cobalt® BBG-1003-UDX-ADDA 3G/HD/SD-SDI Standalone Universal Format Converter with CVBS/YPbPr Video I/O, Up/Down/Cross Conversion, Frame Sync, AES and Analog Audio Embedding / De-Embedding provides a high-density standalone solution that offers unprecedented multi-input support, flexibility, and ease of use and integration for SDI and analog video and discrete audio. Frame sync provides glitch-free audio upon frame sync events, with video/audio offsets user configurable. Audio embed adaptive SRC allows asynchronous 48 kHz AES audio to automatically sync with program video 48 kHz timing for glitch-free embedding. Individual, per-pair SRC auto-detects and disables SRC when a Dolby pair is detected on an input pair.
With option +ANC, the BBG-1003-UDX-ADDA offers full VANC/HANC ancillary data packet de-embedding and embedding for 3G/HD/SD-SDI streams. The easy to use interface allows direct access to DID and SDID locations to extract or insert user data such as camera PTZ, SCTE 104, closed-captioning read/insert, GPI/GPO via ANC, or other specialized user payloads. Data can be extracted and inserted within the unit, bypassing the scaler (Bridge mode), or inserted and/or extracted to and from external interface via serial or IP interfaces.
Multiple SDI input ports allow selection from multiple input sources with failover. Both CVBS and component analog video is supported both as inputs and outputs.
The up/down/cross convert scaler is specifically designed for broadcast video formats, with full ARC control suitable for conversions to or from 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. Timecode can be received and prioritized among any standard SMPTE embedded or audio LTC timecode.
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-1003-UDX-ADDA 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-1003-UDX-ADDA 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).
