Down-Converter/DA with 3G/HD/SD-SDI Input, Reclocking, SD-SDI and Analog Video/Audio Outputs
Product by: Cobalt Digital
The 9501-DCDA-3G provides 3G/HD-to-SD down-conversion with ARC and has versatility in providing up to four SD-SDI and/or analog composite outputs as well as up to four reclocked SDI input copies. The space-saving design of the 9501-DCDA-3G provides for high density, allowing two cards to be collocated in adjacent slots and served by a single, standard width “split” rear module. Up to 20 of the 9501-DCDA cards can be installed in a 20-slot frame.
The card can pass SD signals with re-aspect, if needed. AFD processing can detect an incoming AFD code and correspondingly set scaling to track with AFD. This processor also allows independent custom ARC to be applied for each incoming AFD code, and set the desired AFD code to be inserted on the output, even if there is no code detected on the input. Analog audio outputs can be de-embedded from selected embedded audio channels. The 9501-DCDA can rate-convert 23.98 frame video to 59.94 fields, move progressive to interlace and is equipped with extensive user programmable reticule overlays.
Two discrete character burn strings can be inserted on output video, with each string inserted as static text and/or insert only upon LOS. The data path is 10-bit with 12-bit analog encoding. Full proc control allows adjustment of luma gain, luma lift, color gain, and color phase. Preset save/load allows saving custom card settings while allowing one-button revert to factory settings.
Preset save/load allows saving custom card settings while allowing one-button 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 over a standard Ethernet network.

Features
Low power/high-density design allows up to 20 cards per frame; less than 18 Watts per card
Built-in x4 DAs for both reclocked and processed outputs
Dual SDI inputs with manual GUI select and basic failover function
Economical solution for 3G/HD down-conversion to legacy SD monitoring systems. HD version further economizes for environments requiring only HD/SD support (field upgradeable to 3G with software license upload if later desired).
Auto-format detect/down-conversion of SMPTE 424M/292/259M formats
Down-conversion scaling includes user-configurable ARC and AFD-controlled ARC
Color framing preserved on CVBS outputs for all conversions
User DashBoard output selection flexibly allows SDI or CVBS outputs on four processed-output BNCs
Dual independent text/character burn-in insertion allows condition-based insertion (such as basic ID text for valid input and different text message for failover/LOS conditions)
Full embedded audio control with selectable downmix and analog audio de-embed
Full timecode and CEA 708 / CEA 608 conversion to SD VITC timecode and closed-captioning. Option +LTC allows bidirectional transfer between embedded video timecode formats and audio LTC.
Remote control/monitoring via Dashboard™ software or OGCP-9000 remote control panels
Five year warranty
