HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
UltraBlue IP-MV Multiviewers
Cobalt is expanding its line of multiviewers with the addition of the UltraBlue IP-MV series of IP multiviewers, a series that can grow with the customer's needs. UltraBlue IP-MV is being offered as both a software package and a cloud instance with a WebRTC output. These software-based multiviewers can handle a variety of compressed and uncompressed inputs and an arbitrary number of outputs (including individual rotation to portrait), with very flexible audio routing, and an intuitive web interface. UltraBlue also offers support for a comprehensive set of protocols (UDP, RTP, RTSP, RTMP, RIST, SRT).
UltraBlue incorporates all the features of Cobalt's trusted card-based multiviewers, including:
Arbitrary PIP sizing and positioning
Graphical Overlays
Text Overlays
Audio Bars
Built in Router
Flexible Inputs
Tally Support
WAVE RTR-64x64 Router
Cobalt's WAVE RTR-64x64 Router features a 64x64 crosspoint with support for signals up to 12G-SDI, all packed into a thin 3.75-inch deep 4U frame, with full-size BNC connectors. This router offers high-density with unprecedented flexibility, ease-of-use, and integration. The frame includes an Ethernet port for IP-based controls such as Cobalt's Reflex, PESA PNET and General Remote protocol SW-P-08. Cobalt is also announcing the WAVE Control Panel Series and is showcasing the WAVE CP-84L product which features 84 back-lit LCD dot matrix display buttons. All buttons are illuminated by Red, Green and Blue LEDs providing a wide array of background colors to choose from. The unit also incorporates RS-422 & RS-232 9-pin serial communication ports. Web-based controls allow full setup, salvos, monitoring, and preset management. This compact design is specifically optimized for 12G SDI operation but handles lower SDI rates with ease, as well as ASI and MADI.
PACIFIC Ultra Low-Latency Decoder:
Cobalt will also present a new decoder at IBC. The PACIFIC ULL-DEC is an openGear card capable of decoding H.262 (MPEG-2), H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) with less than 10 milliseconds of latency (for properly encoded streams). The card can either decode one stream up to 4K, or two streams up to 3G. It supports an extensive set of audio CODECs and network protocols, including RIST. When combined with the Cobalt 9992-ENC, this solution can achieve an end-to-end latency of less than one frame.
HPF-MAX Frame
The HPF-MAX is a new 20-slot frame compatible with all openGear cards. It has 700W of available power, a built-in Gigabit Ethernet backplane, and intelligent power supplies.
Sapphire Converter Series
Cobalt is also showcasing the following units from its growing Sapphire Converter Series.
Sapphire BBG-2110-H/S & Sapphire BBG-2110-2H - ST 2110 JPEG-XS to HDMI Converter Appliance
The Sapphire BBG-2110-H/S & Sapphire BBG-2110-2H mini converters are part of Cobalt's Blue Box Group (BBG) series developed to offer high-quality design, function, and reliability in a small package. The units are intended to be mounted behind the monitor and include single or dual 25Gb/s ports (for ST 2022-7 redundancy). The BBG models are available as a single channel (one HDMI port) - Sapphire BBG-2110-H/S, and as a dual-channel unit (two HDMI ports) - Sapphire BBG-2110-2H,. The mini converters also include full NMOS support for ease of configuration.
