9985 Loudness Processor with Frame Sync
- Details
- Click to view
The Fusion3G™ 9985 base model is an HD/SD-SDI loudness processor and frame sync with full embedded audio support. Linear Acoustic AEROMAX™ loudness processing uses a sophisticated multiband approach, in which multifaceted loudness correction is specifically targeted to various frequency ranges and other characteristics within the program material, resulting in audio free from abrupt loudness or image shifts while preserving more of the original content than previously possible. Because the card processes audio loudness locally and in sync with the video, loudness is processed without the accumulated latency delay found in other loudness processors. Remote control is quick and easy with the free DashBoard™ remote control software, or Cobalt's OGCP-9000 remote control panels.

Options Information
The 9985's powerful dual DSPs uniquely support optional bundling of multiple loudness and upmixing processing. You can select from options to add concurrent loudness processing and upmixing, as well as 3G I/O, fiber I/O, analog video I/O, AES and analog audio I/O embed/de-embed — all on the same card. This level of integration reduces module count and simplifies the signal chain, as well as providing flexibility for ever-changing system requirements, including 3-D TV compliant 1080p. Options also include functions beyond the loudness processing/frame sync function, allowing tailoring of the 9985 to meet specific needs. Wing insertion, general purpose keying, color correction, Dolby® E/AC-3 encoding and decoding, and ITU BS.1770 loudness metering are all available individually or in combinations as options.
Optional Features
I/O Options |
- |
|
16 Channel Audio Embedding/De-Embedding (+AES) Provides eight (total) AES pair BNC connections that can be software-configured as inputs or outputs. Independent SRC for all AES inputs, with auto and manual bypass for non-PCM data. |

Video Options |
- |
|
Wings Insertion (+WINGS) Provides wings insertion using an independent SDI input provided for wings signal. Provides programmable insertion width. |
Keying (+KEYER) Provides keying using independent SDI inputs for key and fill signals. Chroma key region can be defined using manual controls or an Auto-Detect function. A separate preview SDI output is provided for observing key results before applying to program video |
|
Color Correction (+COLOR) Provides independent RGB channel controls for luma, black, and gamma. Ultra-fast response time. The color correction feature is perfectly suited for use with Cobalt OGCP-9000/CC Remote Control Panel. |

Software Loudness Meter (+LM) Cobalt's audio loudness metering option (in conjunction with a Cobalt OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel) provides a flexible solution for ingest or on-air loudness metering and assessment, in compliance with ATSC A/85 and ITU BS.1770. With LKFS measurement, true peak level detection, error tracking and logging, and intuitive interface with touch screen control, this feature provides easy to use and thorough audio level and LKFS assessment information. |
|
Linear Acoustic Software Upmixer (+UM) Featuring Linear Acoustic UPMAX™ technology, upmixing allows legacy stereo program content to be converted to full 5.1-channel audio. UPMAX™ mode detects 2.0 content and automatically applies upmix mode (with configurable switchover fade-in/fade-out) depending on absence or presence of 5.1 source audio. |
Dolby® E/AC-3 Decoding (+DEC) Decodes AC-3 and Dolby® E signals from AES or embedded sources. Full metadata support; both SMPTE 2020 and serial. |
|
AC-3 (Dolby® Digital) Encoding (+ENCD) Provides AC-3 encoding from any combination of audio sources supported by the card (including mixed and loudness controlled signals). Full metadata support using internally generated or external metadata via SMPTE 2020 or serial. Metadata can be embedded and/or outputted on a serial port. |
Dolby® E Encoding (+ENCE) Provides AC-3 encoding from any combination of audio sources supported by the card (including mixed and loudness controlled signals). Full metadata support using internally generated or external metadata via SMPTE 2020 or serial. Metadata can be embedded and/or outputted on a serial port. |
