The 8003 is an HD/SD/ASI multi-rate distribution amplifier that features HD/SD status LEDs for quick identification of the input bit rate. The 8003 is fully automatic and supports 424 (3 Gbit), 292 and 259M signals. The unit is equipped with 1 input and 6 reclocked SDI outputs. (Reclocking on 424M, 292 and 259M-C inputs, all other bit rates are non-reclocking.) The unit supports 1x3 ASI distribution using its non-inverting outputs.

The 8020 is a HD/SD dual-rate digital to analog converter. The 8020 supports SMPTE-292 1080i, 720p and SMPTE 259M-C 525/625 SD signals. HD signals are converted to HD YPbPr or RGB wide band HD analog signals with H/V or embedded tri-level sync. SD signals are converted to SD analog component, composite and Y/C with embedded sync. User programmable overlay reticules are available on both HD 
and SD outputs. All conversions are 12-bit encoded from 10-bit input video resolution.

The 8021 accepts dual rate HD/SD SMPTE-292/259M-C digital inputs and can up or down convert incoming signals and re-aspect to 4x3 or 16x9. In addition, the 8021 can cross convert HD signals between 1080 and 720. Both digital and analog HD/SD and XGA outputs are available. The 8021 can rate convert 24 frame video to 60 frames and move interlace to progressive and back. The unit also has user configurable reticle overlays. The 8021 has full 10-bit video processing with 12-bit analog encoding. The 8021 allows you to pick your monitor or scope, HD or SD (analog or digital) or XGA analog and view HD-SDI or SDI. User setups are by external switch controls or a serial PC interface. The unit can be controlled remotely for monitoring wall applications.

The 8024 is an HD/SD converter featuring advanced 10-bit format conversion. The 8024 accepts HD/SD SMPTE-292/259M SDI inputs and can up or down convert incoming signals and re-aspect to 4x3, 16x9 or user programmable aspect ratios. In addition, the 8024 can cross-convert HD signals between 1080 and 720.

The 8090 is a HD/SD universal input 12-bit analog-to-10-bit SDI converter. The 8090 accepts HD component and SD component, composite and Y/C. Differential analog inputs are used for common mode noise rejection. A 5-line adaptive comb or notch filter is used for Y/C separation in composite SD mode. SD inputs are oversampled to 54 MHz and the output circuitry includes a VCXO filter to reduce jitter. The unit offers full user proc control with user memory that provides adjustment of white level, black level, color gain, and color phase.

Cobalt introduces Blue Box – our all-new line of interface converter boxes that not only offer excellent performance, but also excel to a new level of ease of use and installation practicality.

The Blue Box Coax-To-Fiber throw-down converter unit is a new part of the BlueBox™ group of compact, rugged, and portable converter boxes. Super-easy to use, Blue Box Coax-To-Fiber supports SMPTE 425, 292M, and 259M as well as DVB, ASI, and MADI audio. Auto-mode EQ/reclocking automatically sets to the signal type being received (unrecognized formats are safely passed without reclocking). Its wide operating range (from 5Mbps to 3Gbps) flexibly supports most professional digital serial communications. Fully error-free pathological pattern operation is fully compatible with professional fiber video interfaces.
