Have it Your Way with the Right Router
IP support is only one of the many desirable features
of Cobalt's new routers by Christopher Shaw,
Cobalt Digital EVP Sales & Marketing...
9942-RTR series
Cobalt
Digital's
new-to-market
scalable
9942-RTR
12G/3G/HD/
SD-SDI/ASI/MADI routers provide
a high-density, card-based solution
with a design specifically optimized
for 12G support. The series is ideal
for use in production trucks or live
event flight packs receiving multiple
sources, varying signals, and requiring
routing to varying destinations.
Unprecedented flexibility, ease-of-use
and seamless integration make these
cards exclusive within the openGear®
platform with a compact form-factor
fit for a 2RU frame.

9942-RTR 24x24

The 9942-RTR series offers a built-in
Ethernet port for IP-based protocols
such as Cobalt's easy-to-use JSONbased ReFLEX and SW-P-08, as well
as serial and GPIO control interfaces.
Third-party router protocols are
also supported that allow for easy
integration with A/V control and
automation systems such as DNF,
PESA, PNET, and LAWO SNAP panels
(and other panels conforming with
supported protocols).
Routing setups can be saved
as presets, allowing one-button
engagement
with
openGear®
DashBoard™ or Cobalt's own OGCP9000 Remote Control Panel allowing
users the most intuitive remote control
and monitoring interfaces possible.
Software upgrades are fully supported
allowing
expanded
functionality
without removing cards and minimal
disruption. The 9942-RTR series is
available in 24x24 and 12x12 sizes.

9990-RTR-MPEG-IP
Cobalt also offers the 9990-RTRMPEG-IP, a flexible and scalable
openGear®
card-based
solution
for providing distribution copies
of unicast or multicast IP streams.
Unicast streams, by design, have
only one destination and cannot be
easily monitored by test equipment.
To overcome this challenge, the
9990-RTR-MPEG-IP provides copies
that can easily be sent to multiple
destinations for monitoring or other
purposes. With the 9990-RTR-MPEGIP, the originating UDP/RTP stream
can be replicated to reach its intended
destination, as well as provide ample
copies for monitoring or other
purposes.
Using its two 1GigE RJ-45 ports,
the
9990-RTR-MPEG-IP
supports
up to 16 inputs and outputs. Each
input can be replicated up to eight
times. The 9990-RTR-MPEG-IP also

includes
advanced
redundancy
protection features, allowing for
automatic failover if the primary signal
disappears. De-jittering and reclocking
features help ensure reliable operation
in all conditions and actually " cleans
up " inputs with jittery IPGs. Utilizing
the openGear® open-architecture
control/monitoring platform, the
9990-RTR-MPEG-IP can be remotely
controlled and monitored with the
easy-to-use DashBoard™ setup and
control operator interface.
The
9990-RTR-MPEG-IP
cardbased design is hot-swappable,
allows scalability of up to 10 cards
per frame, and is also available in a
stand-alone form factor as Cobalt's
BBG-1090-RTR-MPEG-IP.
Both the 9942-RTR and 9990-RTRMPEG-IP come with a Cobalt five-year
warranty.
