Colbalt 6040 Converter (SD to SDI/Digital to Analog)

The Cobalt Digital 6040 is a high quality full 10- bit digital encoder for converting 525/625 4:2:2 component serial digital (SMPTE 259M-C compliant) to analog NTSC/PAL composite with Y/C or analog component video. The user can select component RGB, YPbPr in BetaCamTM, MIITM, or SMPTE/N10 levels.

The 6040 is rich with features such as automatic NTSC/PAL detect and configuration, 7.5 IRE pedestal control, color or monochrome select, VBI Blanking (on/off) and color bar generator. It is simple to use and is designed to default to auto-detect and display color NTSC/PAL analog composite video, once a 4:2:2 serial digital video source is supplied. An externally accessible dip switch adds flexibility for non-standard configurations. Additional features include:

• Broadcast Quality 10-bit digital to analog converter
• User selectable analog output formats composite, Y/C, YPbPr or RGB
• BetaCam, MII, SMPTE/N10 output levels
