The Cobalt® BBG-1002-UDX-DSP 3G/HD/SD-SDI Standalone Up-Down-Cross Converter / Frame Sync / Audio Embed/De-Embed with DSP Audio Options Support provides a high-density standalone solution that offers unprecedented multi-input support and flexibility. The BBG-1002-UDX-DSP offers a DSP-based platform that supports multiple audio DSP options. When optioned with various audio processing options, the DSP-based processing core (which supports numerous simultaneous processing engines) uses license “credits” which allows flexible tailoring of multiple proc function instances. The BBG-1002-UDX-DSP provides much more flexibility than other audio processors that used fixed processing assets (for example, this flexibility allows “trading” credits for more Dolby encoders while backing out of loudness processors or other engine assets).
