If you require high density and low latency production options, you’ll want to check out Cobalt’s additions to the openGear family released at NAB.
Suzana Brady speaks with Simon Tillyer from KITPLUS at NAB 2024 about Cobalt Digital’s new award-winning openGear cards, including the 12G Dante embedder/de-embedder with frame sync and super high density, that supports up to 200 audio channels.
You’ll also hear about the new Indigo 2110 that is bi-directional, supports up to 4 channels, and is native 2110 to SDI, so you can transmit and receive simultaneously in the same card. If you stack up all the cards, you can have up to 40 conversion channels in one openGear frame.
Suzana also talks about the new Pacific 9992 encoder that now has the option to have 2110 inputs. It is an extremely rich, very high-quality broadcasting encoder that supports all the protocols, including RIST and SRT, and can be used for low latency video transport over the internet or even for traditional ASI workflows.
