The COBALT Sapphire BBG-2110-H/S mini‑converter addresses the need to display received JPEG‑XS content on HDMI monitors in a simple and cost‑effective way. The mini‑converter is designed to be mounted behind the monitor. The BBG‑2110‑H/S is a single‑channel unit with simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs.
The converter includes dual SFP cages with support for 10G and 25G Ethernet ports, additional 1Gb copper Ethernet port for out of band management, support for SMPTE ST 2022‑7 Seamless Switching up to Class C operation for WAN environments, support for NMOS IS‑04/IS‑05 control and management (both in‑band and out‑of‑band), and in‑band PTP support. Also available is a passive fan‑less design option for quiet environments. A recent update added support for uncompressed ST 2110‑20 video.
The Sapphire BBG units are the ideal choice for directly displaying incoming JPEG‑XS content on HDMI monitors, including content originating from a WAN connection. The units can be mounted directly behind the monitor and will not take up any rack space, and are incredibly quiet, which makes them ideal for control rooms.
