SAPPHIRE BIDI-2H2S

The COBALT SAPPHIRE BIDI-2H2S is a dual-channel bidirectional HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI Converter. Each channel can be independently configured to have either SDI or HDMI inputs and each channel has simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs. This provides input and output options with independent paths of true 12G/3G and HD conversions to and from all the SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI formats and HDMI. With both SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs (2 each), each path is equipped with frame sync as well as full input and output audio cross-points and optional per-path color correction. Input and output SDI and HDMI cross-points allow bidirectional program sourcing and distribution across both sets of inputs and outputs.

In existing openGear® installations, the bidirectional capacity can save space and lend to installation integrity over using throwdown devices. Preset save/load allows saving custom card settings and instant 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.

FEATURES

SPECIFICATIONS

Note: All specifications are preliminary and subject to change.

• 49 Watts

HDMI Inputs

• (2) HDMI 2.0; Type A (standard) connectors

HDMI Outputs

• (2) HDMI 2.0; Type A (standard) connectors

Frame Sync Audio/Video Delay

• Max offset: 20 frames Latency (min): 1 frame

Standards Supported

• SMPTE 259M, 292M, 424M

SDI Inputs

• 3G/HD/SD-SDI Inputs
• (2) 75Ω inputs

SDI Outputs

• (2) 75Ω outputs
• Output Signal Level: 800 mV ±10%
• DC Offset: 0 V ± 50 mV
• Alignment Jitter (3G/HD/SD): < 0.3/0.2/0.2 UI

User Audio Delay Offset from Video

• Bulk delay control: -33 msec to +3000 msec.
• Per-channel delay controls: -800 msec to +800 msec

Frame Reference Input

• (2) reference from frame bus. SMPTE 170M/318M “Black Burst”, SMPTE 274M/296M “Tri-Level”

Note: Per-path frame reference offers independent per-path controls (such as video delay offset). However, all paths must be locked to the same selected reference selection (e.g., frame REF 2 used for each path).

REAR MODULES

RM20-BIDI-2H2S-B-HDBNC

• 20 Slot Frame Rear I/O Module (Standard Width)
• (2) HDMI Inputs
• (2) HDMI outputs
• (2) SDI Inputs
• (2) SDI Outputs.

Note: Due to the alignment of the card and this rear module, the combination of the card and rear module will consume the adjacent even frame slot in addition to the odd slot occupied by the card.

Note: Mates to card in odd slot.
