Cobalt Digital 9992-ENC HEVC Upgradeable AVC / MPEG2 Software Defined Broadcast Encoder

9992-ENC - Overview

• Features:

  • Future-Proof - The 9992-ENC software-defined architecture supports MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265) with an optional license, so it can be deployed today and upgraded as your needs change.
  • Industry Standard Form-Factor - The 9992-ENC is offered in the industry-standard openGear format, and is compatible with existing deployed openGear frames.
  • High Density - The 9992-ENC can be licensed to support up to four independent 1080p60 input signals, or a single UHD 4Kp60 input signal. One openGear frame can support up to 10 cards, for a total of 40 HD or 10 UHD 4K channels.
  • Full Audio Support - The 9992-ENC supports MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, LPCM (SMPTE-302M) and Dolby AC-3/EAC-3 (optional license). Flexible "credits-based" audio processing allows flexible audio resource allocation.

• Specifications:

  • Inputs
  • (2) Ω SDI inputs each supporting 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI
  • (2) Ω SDI inputs each supporting 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI
  • Support for all standard frame rates (interlaced and progressive): 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, 60
  • Optional support for SMPTE-2110 baseband video over IP inputs (Future release availability)
    Note: Although two 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs are present, only one input can be used at a time to route to the maximum-available single UHD encoder engine.
    Note: UHD encode (single UHD/HD encoder) available only on 9992-ENC license-upgraded to +4K. In UHD mode, the other three HD encoder channels are not available.
