9904-UDX-4K

The award-winning Cobalt® 9904-UDX-4K 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD UHD Up/Down/Cross Converter/Frame Sync/Embed/De-Embed Audio Processor is Cobalt’s next generation of advanced scaler/frame synchronizers for the openGear® platform.

The 9904-UDX-4K upconverts 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD to either UHD1 3840×2160 Square DIvision Multiplex (SDM) or Two-Sample Interleave (2SI) quad 3G-SDI based formats, or can output ST 2082 12G-SDI for single-wire 4K transport. With both 12G-SDI and quad 3G-SDI inputs, the 9904-UDX-4K can downconvert 12G and quad UHD. The 9904-UDX-4K provides an HDMI 2.0 output for economical 4K video monitoring. The 9904-UDX-4K offers numerous options, including SDR-to-HDR conversion and color correction.

The 9904-UDX-4K-IP model offers the same functionality as the 9904-UDX-4K SDI-based model, but also provides dual 10GigE ports providing support for the emerging uncompressed video/audio/data over IP standards.

The 9904-UDX-4K-DSP model provides the same functionality as the 9904-UDX-4K model, and additionally also offers a DSP-based platform that supports multiple audio DSP options, including Dolby® Real-Time Loudness Leveling automatic loudness processing, Dolby® E/D/D+ encode/decode, and Linear Acoustic® UPMAX™ automatic upmixing. Embedded audio and metadata are properly delayed and re-embedded to match any video processing delay, with full adjustment available for audio/video offset.

The high-density openGear® design allows for up to five 9904-UDX-4K to be installed in one 2RU openGear® frame. Card control/monitoring is available via DashBoard user interface, integrated HTML5 web interface, SNMP, or Cobalt’s RESTful-based Reflex protocol.

Note:


• • MADI I/O is available on rev C (or later) hardware with firmware supporting MADI I/O. When enabled ‘MADI In and MADI Out acquire SDI In 6 and SDI Out 5 (respectively) on rear modules that support ‘these I/O. Rear modules that support MADI I/O (“MADI Compatible”) show the MADI port locations ‘that are SDI IN 6 and/or SDI OUT 5 alternatives (as shown in rear module illustrations).
  • Rear modules with SFP access do not come standard with any SFP functionality. Appropriate SFP option must be provisioned for rear module SFP functionality.

ADD Native SMPTE ST 2110 Support

The COBALT INDIGO 2110-DC-01 is a factory add-on option to Cobalt 9904-UDX-4K and 9905-MPx models. This option adds native SMPTE ST 2110 support for these cards, with multiple 25G Ethernet interfaces.

The INDIGO 2110-DC-01 circumvents the cumbersome, error-prone, and expensive prior solutions of multiple devices in the data path. Adding native ST 2110 interfaces to the audio/video processing elements, Cobalt is providing a cost-effective, easily manageable, integrated solution to this problem. Multiple boxes or processing elements are no longer needed in the data path, going back and forth between IP and SDI. By natively doing all the processing directly over IP, unnecessary complexity and cost is avoided.

With this option, all the advanced processing in these cards is now available with IP inputs and outputs, without the need for an external gateway. INDIGO 2110-DC-01 includes support for ST 2022-7 seamless redundancy switching, as well as IS-04/IS-05 NMOS for automatic discovery and configuration. Mated with the host card, this creates a powerful and processing-dense product that is capable of natively processing HD, 3G and 4K IP streams with no quality compromises. No other solution currently in the market can achieve the density provided by the combination of functionality offered by the INDIGO 2110-DC-01 and the 9904-UDX-4K/9905-MPx combination.
