See how CSP is using the new 9970-QS 3G/HD-SD-SDI/CVBS Quint-Split Multi-Image Display Processor and color correction synergies (including color correction cards, +COLOR option for UDX scaler cards, and purpose-designed color corrector remote control panels) for its production truck fleet.
"One of the reasons we were so attracted to Cobalt's cards is that they incorporate the award-wining Linear Acoustic Aeromax algorithm in a space-saving modular card that integrates with our terminal gear. The cards offer the same functionality that traditionally required gear occupying up to five RUs."
Cobalt Digital was awarded “Best of Show” at IBC 2014 for the 9970-QS Quint Split openGear® card. The 9970-QS is a five screen video processor/multi-viewer, with UMD, Tally, Source ID, Timecode, Scaling and up to 16 channels of audio metering. At IBC, Cobalt displayed the ability to cascade several cards therefore providing multiple PiP muxing. Possible to install up to twenty cards in a single HPF-9000 openGear® frame.
