Our latest +DSP suite of DSP-based audio processing features represents our greatest single-device audio proc capacity. The DSP-based platform supports multiple audio DSP options using a processing core (which supports numerous simultaneous processing engines) that uses license “credits” which allows flexible tailoring of multiple proc function instances.

Option +FRC provides comprehensive high-quality standards conversion utilizing Cobalt’s linear frame rate conversion to convert between virtually any SD/HD/3G format – 25/50, 29.97/30/59.94/60, and 23.98/24 (both film and PsF) from 525/625i to 1080p and anything in-between – with conversion to and from NTSC and PAL available for all input and output formats (see Diagrams for full conversion matrix).

Option +QC allows failover to alternate inputs based on user-definable criteria such as black/frozen frame or audio silence. Two discrete character burn strings can be inserted on output video, with each string inserted as static text and/or insert only upon LOS. Import of user trouble slate graphics is also supported in addition to standard test pattern insert as an input LOS marker.

Option +TTS provides a complete 21CVAA text-to-speech generation / audio insertion solution for embedded or discrete audio systems, offering an integrated solution for 21CVAA Text-to-Speech Generation and audio insertion.

Option +EAS – available on a range of Cobalt Digital products – is the ideal solution for keying Emergency Alert System (EAS) text crawls in the active video and inserting station identification logos.

Expanded Frame Sync Delay Option +DLY allows frame sync frame delay of >800 msec / >1580 msec / >9000 msec (3G/HD/SD).

Provides full RGB color corrector (offset, gain, gamma) with extended YCbCr proc controls with white hard clip, white soft clip, black hard clip, and saturation clip.

Option +T-SLATE allows uploading of up to three different user trouble slate graphic file to the card or device. When loaded, any of the graphics can be loaded using automated insertion controlled by GPI or other user-definable events (such as loss of closed captioning, frozen video or other detectable events) offering fully automated insertion for numerous conditions when used in conjunction with +QC Quality Check Option.

Option +LOGO allows uploading of up a user graphics file (such as an ID bug) to the card or device. When loaded, the graphic can be loaded using automated insertion controlled by GPI or other events (such as a GPI insertion signal for periodic station ID).

Option +ANC 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.
