9940-ACO

The Cobalt® 9940-ACO 3G/HD/SD-SDI Multi-Input Intelligent Auto-Changeover Switch with Optional Trouble Slate Inserter allows manual selection of input, or failover to alternate inputs (Auto-Changeover) on loss of input conditions as well as user-configurable Video Quality Event intelligent assessments such as black/frozen frame or audio silence. Also included standard is closed captioning absence/presence detection for CEA 608/708 and line 21 SD closed captioning. Video Quality or Closed-Captioning event status can independently be propagated for each event type as GPO, automated alert email, input routing changes, or card user presets you can configure to provide any number of special actions such as routing changes or burn-in text alert messages. A user trouble slate graphic file can be uploaded to the card, which in turn can be automatically inserted in active video if any Video Quality Event triggered errors occur.

Two discrete character burn strings can be inserted on output video, with each string inserted as static text and/or insert only upon LOS. Any of several standard test patterns can be inserted as an input LOS marker. A moving-box insertion can serve as a dynamic raster confidence check even when the input video image is static. Timecode can be received and prioritized among any standard SMPTE embedded or audio LTC timecode, and in turn outputted and burned-in on the output video.
  
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 locally or across a standard Ethernet network. GPIO allows direct input routing control and status monitoring.

Features

• Multi-input, with manual selection or Intelligent Auto-Changeover failover. Latching relay bypass retains manual or failover input-to-output routing even in the event of power failure.

• Intelligent Auto-Changeover can be set to invoke failover or alerts for basic input loss as well as intelligent failover/alert based on black/frozen frame or audio silence. Threshold and hold-off are user configurable.

• Video Quality and Closed-Captioning Absence detection and flagging with GPO, automated alert email, input auto-changeover, or engage custom user preset actions

• Moving-box/motion insertion enable serves as a dynamic raster confidence check even in cases where the input video image is static

• Optional user trouble slate graphic import allows trouble slate to be displayed upon user-selectable input error conditions (such as CC or audio loss, or frozen frame)

• Dual independent burn-in text string insertion allows condition-based insertion (such as basic ID text for valid input and different text message for failover conditions)

• Timecode processing can prioritize, filter for, and convert between specific SMPTE embedded-video or audio LTC, with output/burn-in timecode using selected format

• Frame sync with full H/V offset and manual/LOS video pattern generator. Frame sync can also convert raster format between 29.97/59.94 and 30/60 formats.

• Full audio crosspoint with delay control available for all audio outputs

• Remote control/monitoring via Dashboard™ software or OGCP-9000 remote control panels

• Five year warranty
