BLUECORE-5 - Overview

blueCORE processors provide the same quality and functionality as the Cobalt openGear processing cards in a self-contained standalone device!

The Cobalt blueCORE-5 hardware conversion technology ensures the highest image quality for any demanding project. The signal processor meets the needs of hybrid workflows that require SDI, ST 2110 and Fiber. It has flexible conversion and frame synchronization in a standalone, 1RU rack space.

This processor provides simultaneous audio and video processing with four independent signals (one path of 4K or four paths up to 1080p) with HDR support as 10-bit broadcast quality video and independent groups of multi-channel embedded audio or AES audio. Options enable SDI, MADI audio, DANTE, Dolby, and other features. The Cobalt blueCORE-5 is licensable to Cobalt blueCORE-4 for additional features.

All Cobalt blueCORE models can be network connected, with web-based remote control. Each one is fully configurable through a 7" front panel touchscreen and four rotary knobs. The interface makes status monitoring and connecting to a network simple and easy.

Additionally, it offers looping reference input for black burst or tri-level timing.
