The all-new Cobalt BBG-1070-QS 3G/HD/SD-SDI/CVBS Standalone Expandable Multiviewer with Advanced On-Screen Graphics integrates five discrete 3G/HD/SD-SDI or CVBS inputs onto a single 3G/HD/SD-SDI quint-split output, with each input image being flexibly inserted into the output image area.
Any template layout or custom layout changes can be done "on-the-fly" in real time, without tedious setup compiler or layout programs like many other split/multiviewer products. While the BBG-1070-QS offers unprecedented flexibility, it also offers an unprecedented ease of use. Fully-flexible layouts using any of several one-button template presets or fully customizable layouts using easy to use sizing/positioning custom controls. Custom layouts can be saved to user presets.
Multiple BBG-1070-QS units can be cascaded to provide splits greater than the base quint-split. The PIP5 input can be used in a cascaded chain of BBG-1070-QS units that provides multiviewer layouts of up to 8x8 (64:1). The QuickSet grid definer precisely and easily sets up a multiviewer grid where columns and rows of each of the cards PIPs are arranged to work together in a cascaded aggregate arrangement. Low-latency processing allows multiple BBG-1070-QS units to be cascaded without significant accumulated delays within the chain.
Advanced graphics such as user identify text, PiP input video format, audio meter bars, tally/UMD, reticules, and timecode can be burned into any PiP with full user attributes control. CEA 608 Ch1 text strings can serve as user text overlays, allowing direct closed captioning presence/quality compliance checks for up to 5 simultaneous video streams per unit. User-configurable Quality Check allows subjective criteria such as black/frozen frame or audio silence events to propagate an on-screen alarm/alert to the output image (such as alert text burn-in or border alert highlighting). Asynchronous inputs can be directly accommodated – each PiP input is provided its own independent timing alignment controls with lock to reference. An HDMI output (with audio embedding) allows direct feed to a wall monitor. GPIO allows direct input routing control and status monitoring. DashBoard remote control allows easy centralized control and monitoring access.
The compact standalone form factor allows desktop usage, as well as the 1/3-rack size of the BBG-1070-QS allowing 3 units to be installed in a 1RU space (an optional mounting tray is available that provides secure mounting of the units to a standard 19” frame).
