The Cobalt Digital 9915DA-4x16-XPT-12G is a powerful device that supports four input channels. These can be routed to up to 16 DA outputs through its x4 Output Crosspoint. As 4K demand grows, distributing 12G-SDI signals in a rackspace is crucial. This unit allows copper runs up to 45 meters, reaching most rack room or truck equipment. For longer distances, optional optical inputs and outputs are available. Its flexible crosspoint, configurable via DashBoardTM GUI remote control, offers various routing options like quad 1x4, dual 1x8, and single 1x16. It can distribute or duplicate any of the four input channels across four groups of 1x4 DAs, providing a one-card solution for 8K quad - link content over 12G - SDI interfaces. There's also a failover function for backup. Up to 10 cards can be installed in a frame for 40 input channels and up to 160 outputs. Full remote control via DashBoard™ or Remote - Control Panel is available. Key features include flexible output crosspoint, full support of 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD - SDI and ASI/DVB, input data rate auto - detection, optional fiber inputs/outputs, 4K/8K content distribution, failover, status indicators, hot - swappability, and a five - year warranty. Technical specs cover power, SDI interfaces, fiber transmit/receive, and more.

Using the Cobalt Digital 9915DA-4x16-XPT-12G is easy. First, connect your input sources to the appropriate 75Ω HDBNC connectors. You can connect up to four input channels. Then, decide on your output routing. You can use the DashBoardTM GUI remote control to configure the crosspoint for different routing options like quad 1x4, dual 1x8, or single 1x16. If you need to reach longer distances, you can install the optional SFPs for fiber inputs and outputs. Just make sure to connect them properly to the LC connectors. When it comes to power, the device uses less than 10 Watts, so it's energy - efficient. For maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry environment. Since it's hot - swappable, you can replace it easily if needed. The failover function is there to ensure continuity. If the primary input loses lock, it will switch to the secondary backup inputs. Check the card display and DashBoard status input lock indicators regularly to monitor the device's performance. Remember, the device comes with a five - year warranty, so if you run into any issues, you're covered.
