The COBALT SAPPHIRE BIDI-2H2S is a dual channel bidirectional HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI Converter. Each channel can be independently configured to have either SDI or HDMI inputs and each channel has simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs. This provides input and output options with independent paths of true 12G/3G and HD conversions to and from all the SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI formats and HDMI. With both SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs (2 each), each path is equipped with frame sync as well as full input and output audio cross-points and optional per-path color correction. Input and output SDI and HDMI cross-points allow bidirectional program sourcing and distribution across the both sets of inputs and outputs.
In existing openGear® installations, the bidirectional capacity can save space and lend to installation integrity over using throwdown devices. Preset save/load allows saving custom card settings and instant 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. Full user DashBoard™ or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.
