Cobalt Networks 9034 owner manual Switchable Input/Outputs

Audio rates are always 48kHz nominally but discrete AES inputs pass through sample rate converters to align them with the output timing. The sample rate converters can be disabled if necessary. Output AES is always precisely locked in time with the output video. Analog audio is differential input and sampled at 48 kHz with 0 dbFS digital equivalent to a +24 dBu analog.

There are several advanced features available for the AES inputs. These include input sample rate converter bypass, low-latency embedding of AES inputs, and AES input to output pass through. These are covered in more detail in the section: AES Audio Input Advanced Features.

The product also provides full color processing control of the output video, with separate controls for Luma Gain, Luma Lift, Chroma Saturation and Color Phase.

All card configuration is done with a simple front panel menu. There is a four character text display to view and control parameters, and a toggle switch and two buttons to navigate the menu. Card configuration can also be done over Dashboard remote control software.

The input and outputs of the 9034 are the following:

Input:
