The Cobalt Sapphire BBG-2110-2H mini-converter addresses the need to display received JPEG-XS content on HDMI monitors in a simple and cost-effective way. The dual channel mini-converter is designed to be mounted behind the monitor. The BBG-2110-2H is a dual-channel unit with independent 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 included is a fan-less option for quiet environments and higher reliability. A future update will add 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, will not take up any rack space, and are incredibly quiet, which makes them ideal for control rooms.
A Word About JPEG XS !
JPEG XS (ISO/IEC 21122) is an interoperable, visually lossless, low-latency and lightweight image and video coding system used in professional applications.Applications of the standard include streaming high quality content for virtual reality, drones, autonomous vehicles using cameras, gaming, and broadcasting (SMPTE ST 2022 and ST 2110). In this respect, JPEG XS is unique, being the first ISO codec ever designed for this specific purpose. JPEG XS, built on core technology from both intoPIX and Fraunhofer IIS, is formally standardized as ISO/IEC 21122 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group with the first edition published in 2019. Although not official, the XS acronym was chosen to highlight the eXtra Small and eXtra Speed characteristics of the codec.
