The Cobalt 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.
