The Cobalt® 9902-UDX 3G/HD/SD-SDI up-down-cross converter/frame sync/audio embed/de-embed with DSP audio options support provides a high-density card-based solution that offers unprecedented multi-input support and flexibility. The 9902-UDX-DSP offers a DSP-based platform that supports multiple audio DSP options. When optioned with various audio processing options, the DSP-based processing core (which supports numerous simultaneous processing engines) uses license “credits” which allows flexible tailoring of multiple proc function instances. The 9902-UDX-DSP provides much more flexibility than other audio processors that used fixed processing assets (for example, this flexibility allows “trading” credits for more Dolby encoders while backing out of loudness processors or other engine assets).
The up/down/cross convert scaler is specifically designed for broadcast video progressive and interlaced formats, with full ARC control suitable for conversions to or from 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. 3:2 pulldown optimization allows A-frame to use alignment correlated to received timecode or 6 Hz external input over GPI. AFD processing can detect an incoming AFD code and correspondingly set scaling to track with AFD. The 9902-UDX-DSP also provides analog CVBS video inputs and outputs, and AES/analog audio embedding and de-embedding.
Audio proc options include Dolby® Real-Time Loudness Leveling automatic loudness processing, Dolby® E/D/D+ encode/decode, and Linear Acoustic® UPMAX™ automatic upmixing. DSP options can be ordered with new-card purchase, or field-installed as software option upgrades without removing the card from its frame. Included as standard features are downmixing, flex mixing, and full AES and balanced analog audio embed/de-embed. The 9902-UDX-DSP can directly interface with our award-winning OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel to provide real-time pre- and post-proc loudness measurement and logging. Also included standard is bulk and per-channel audio delay controls that easily address lip-sync issues. Option +TTS provides high-quality Text-To-Speech synthesis, directly converting EAS text to digital audio speech with no baseband signal breakouts or add-ons.
