Ross Gator Toolbox is your easy-to-use and comprehensive UHD signal conversion problem solver in a modular openGear form factor. The Gator Toolbox delivers peace of mind, by addressing your signal conversion needs in broadcast, production, and live event workflows where low latency and quality UHD, HDR, & WCG are required. At its core, GATOR-TOOLBOX provides a high-quality motion-adaptive format converter with optional frame-rate standards conversion.
The Gator Toolbox is meant for the discerning audio/video production professional looking for quality, reliability and the confidence to be able to easily adapt any incoming signal to the needs of their broadcast, production, or live event UHD workflow. Intuitively control multiple Gator UHD Toolbox cards with a single Ultritouch system control and monitoring touch panel, available in a rackmount 2RU form factor.
Gator Toolbox provides a single conversion path when processing UHD input and/or output, while processing abilities increase to two separate conversion paths when processing up to 3G inputs and/or outputs. This represents exceptional value and density, with up to 10x UHD or 20x 3G conversion paths per 2RU oGX frame.
Applications:
- In mobile applications, confidently handle any signal with ease - Gator Toolbox welcomes the unexpected!
- In ingest applications, a feed may come in as 720p50, SDR/BT.709, but the production is 2160p59.94, HDR/WCG
- In transmission applications, down-convert from UHD to any format
- For international feeds, easily provide format and standards conversion!
- Intuitive control and monitoring via Dashboard and Ultritouch Smart Panel
The R4-GATOR rear module occupies two slots and accommodates one card.The following connections are available:
- 4x SDI inputs on HD-BNCs
- 4x SDI outputs on HD-BNCs
- 4x GPIO connections
- 1x independent reference input signal
Please Note: Installing the R4-GATOR in a frame other than the OGX-FR could damage the card, the rear module, or both.
