Cobalt Digital 9904-UDX-4K 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD UHD Up/Down/Cross Converter/Frame Sync openGear Card

The Cobalt Digital 9904-UDX-4K UHD Up/Down/Cross Converter/Frame Sync/Embed/De-Embed Audio Processor is Cobalt's next generation of advanced scaler/frame synchronizers for the openGear platform.

The 9904-UDX-4K upconverts 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD to either UHD1 3840x2160 Square Division Multiplex (SDM) or Two-Sample Interleave (2SI) quad 3G-SDI based formats, or can output ST 2082 12G-SDI for single-wire 4K transport. With both 12G-SDI and quad 3G-SDI inputs, the 9904-UDX-4K can down convert 12G and quad UHD. The 9904-UDX-4K provides an HDMI 2.0 output for economical 4K video monitoring. The 9904-UDX-4K offers numerous options, including SDR-to-HDR conversion and color correction.

The 9904-UDX-4K-IP model offers the same functionality as the Cobalt Digital 9904-UDX-4K SDI-based model, but also provides dual 10GigE ports providing support for the emerging uncompressed video/audio/data over IP standards.

The Cobalt Digital 9904-UDX-4K-DSP model provides the same functionality as the 9904-UDX-4K model, and additionally also offers a DSP-based platform that supports multiple audio DSP options, including Dolby Real-Time Loudness Leveling automatic loudness processing, Dolby E/D/D+ encode/decode, and Linear Acoustic UPMAX automatic upmixing. Embedded audio and metadata are properly delayed and re-embedded to match any video processing delay, with full adjustment available for audio/video offset.

The high-density openGear design allows for up to five 9904-UDX-4K to be installed in one 2RU openGear frame. Card control/monitoring is available via DashBoard user interface, integrated HTML5 web interface, SNMP, or Cobalt's RESTful-based Reflex protocol.
