9905-MPx

The Multi-Path 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 9905-MPx provides four independent signal paths of UDX / frame sync / audio embedding and de-embedding on a single open-Gear® card. Using our HPF-9000 20-slot frame, this provides up to 24 channels (6 cards) of processing in a single frame. The 9905-MPx represents a new level of openGear packaging density!

The 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 9905-MPx can be software-converted to a 4K Quad-Link Input SDM/2SI 4K UDX/Frame Sync card with an optional software license.

• Multi-Path design offers four independent UDX / frame sync paths (channels) per card
• Flexible AES and MADI embed/de-embed for each path
• Multi-input RP168 clean switch, with manual selection or GPI controlled input selection
• Up/Down/Cross Conversion with user ARC control. 3D-LUT is a standard feature for all paths.
• Supports all popular formats: 480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i, 1080pSF, 1080p
• Independent four-path ANC bridging, including timecode and closed-captioning processing
• Noise Reduction and Detail Enhancement provide image quality optimization
• Remote control/monitoring via Dashboard™ software, OGCP-9000 remote control panels, or Cobalt’s RESTful-based Reflex protocol
• Five-year warranty

Note:

  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.
