The Cobalt® Multi-Path TOPAZ 9905-MPx 3G/HD/SD Quad-Path Up/Down/Cross Converter/Frame Sync/Embed/De-Embed Audio Processor is a Cobalt® next-generation advanced scaler/frame synchronizer for the openGear® platform. The TOPAZ 9905-MPx provides four independent signal paths of UDX / frame sync / audio embedding and de-embedding on a single open-Gear® card. Using our high-powered 20-slot frames, this provides up to 24 channels (6 cards) of processing in a single frame. The TOPAZ 9905-MPx represents a new level of openGear packaging density!
The TOPAZ 9905-MPx provides high-density that offers unprecedented multi-input support and flexibility. Independent up/down/cross convert scalers are specifically designed for broadcast video formats, with full ARC control suitable for conversions to or from 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. Discrete AES and MADI audio embedding/routing/mixing/de-embedding to any of four processing paths is supported. Standard 3D LUT feature and available color correction provide accommodation of SDR and HDR processing for downstream HDR systems.
Card control/monitoring is available via DashBoard user interface or Cobalt’s RESTful-based Reflex protocol. The TOPAZ 9905-MPx can be software-converted to a 4K Quad-Link Input SDM/2SI 4K UDX/Frame Sync card with an option software license.
