The Cobalt Digital 9904-UDX-4K is a next-generation advanced scaler/frame synchronizer for the openGear platform. It can upconvert 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD to UHD1 3840x2160 SDM or 2SI quad 3G-SDI formats, or output ST 2082 12G-SDI for single-wire 4K transport. With 12G-SDI and quad 3G-SDI inputs, it can downconvert 12G and quad UHD. It offers an HDMI 2.0 output for cost-effective 4K video monitoring. The 9904-UDX-4K-IP model adds dual 10GigE ports for IP standards support, while the 9904-UDX-4K-DSP model provides a DSP-based platform with multiple audio DSP options. The high-density openGear design allows up to five cards in one 2RU frame. Card control and monitoring are available via various interfaces. Key features include comprehensive UHD conversion, frame sync, audio processing, image quality optimization, and a five-year warranty. Technical specifications cover SDI inputs/outputs, supported formats, return loss, cable length, and more.

Using the Cobalt Digital 9904-UDX-4K is straightforward. First, connect your input sources to the appropriate SDI inputs. You can choose from different SDI formats like 12G, 6G, 3G, HD, or SD. Then, select the desired output format, whether it's UHD1 in SDM or 2SI quad 3G-SDI, or ST 2082 12G-SDI for single-wire 4K. For video monitoring, you can use the HDMI 2.0 output. If you're using the 9904-UDX-4K-IP model, connect to the dual 10GigE ports for IP-based functionality. The 9904-UDX-4K-DSP model offers advanced audio processing, so adjust the audio settings as needed. When it comes to control and monitoring, you can use the DashBoard software, the integrated HTML5 web interface, SNMP, or Cobalt's Reflex protocol. Make sure to follow the recommended frame loading guidelines for different frame models. Always leave a 1RU gap above the frame and set the frame Network Controller Card to run the cooling fans at full speed. For maintenance, keep the card clean and free from dust. If you encounter any issues, refer to the technical specifications and try to troubleshoot based on the provided data. The card comes with a five-year warranty, so you can have peace of mind.
