9502 Card Software Versions and this Manual
When applicable, Cobalt Digital Inc. provides for continual product
enhancements through software updates. As such, functions described in this
manual may pertain specifically to cards loaded with a particular software
build.
The Software Version of your card can be checked by viewing the Ca r d I n fo
menu in DashBoard™. See Checking 9502-DCDA Card Information (p. 3-7)
in Chapter 3, “Operating Instructions” for more information. You can then
check our website for th e latest soft ware version currently released for the
card as described below.
Note: Not all functionality described in this manual may appear on cards with initial
software versions.
Check our website and proceed as follows if your card’s software does not
match the latest versi on:
Card Software earlier than
latest version
Card Software newer than
version in manual
Card is not loaded with the latest software. Not all
functions and/or specified performance described in
this manual may be available.
You can update your card with new Update software by
going to the Support>Firmware Do wnloads link at
www.cobaltdigital.com. Download “Firmware Update
Guide”, which provides simple instructions for
downloading the latest firmware for your card onto your
computer, and then uploading it to your card through
DashBoard™.
Software updates are field-installed without any
need to remove the card from its frame.
A new manual is expediently released whenever a
card’s software is updated and specifications
and/or functionality have changed as compared to
an earlier version (a new manual is not necessarily
released if specifications and/or functionality have not
changed). A manual earlier than a card’s softw a re
version may not completely or accurately describe all
functions available for your card.
If your card shows features not described in this
manual, you can check for the latest manual (if
applicable) and download it by going to the card’s web
page on www.cobaltdigital.com.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This device is intended for environmentally controlled use only in appropriate video
terminal equipment operating environments.
This product is intended to be a component product of an openGear® frame. Refer to the
openGear® frame Owner's Manual for important safety instructions regarding the proper
installation and safe operation of the frame as well as its component products.
Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot
placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should be ar ranged to
avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using only convection cooling.
The 9502-DCDA has a moderate power dissipation (<18 W). As such, avoiding placing the
card adjacent to other cards with similar dissipation values if possible.
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the 9502-DCDA
into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if module
installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.
If card resists fully engaging in r ear I/O module mating connector, check for alignment and
proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O module may occur if
improper card insertion is attempted.
CAUTION
1-4 9502-DCDA PRODUCT MANUAL 9502DCDA-OM (V1.3)
The 9502 FPGA is designed for a normal-range operating temperature around 85° C core
temperature. Operation in severe conditions exceeding this limit for non-sustained usage
are within device operating safe parameters, and can be allowed by setting this control to
Disable. However, the disable (override) setting should be avoided under normal
conditions to ensure maximum card protection.
Introduction 9502-DCDA Functional Description
9502-DCDA Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functi onal block diagram of the 9502-DCDA. The
9502-DCDA downconverter also includes embedded audio support and
de-embedding to AES outputs. 4x distribution amplifiers (DAs) are provided
for the card down-converted HD/SD-SDI output.
The 9502-DCDA also provides ARC processing and timecode/
closed-captioning conversion from packet-based timecode formats and
CEA608/708 HD formats to HD ATC, SD_ATC, and SD VITC-based
(waveform) timecode. Closed captioning from CEA708 to HD formats and
line 21 SD closed captioning are available on the processed HD-SD-SDI
outputs.
9502-DCDA Input/Output Formats
The 9502-DCDA provides the following inputs and outputs:
• Inputs:
• 3G/HD/SD SDI IN A / SDI IN B – two dual-rate HD/SD-SDI inputs
(GUI-selectable or basic failover)
• Outputs:
• HD/SD-SDI OUT (1-4) – four dual-rate HD/SD-SDI buffered video
outputs
• RCK OUT (1-4) – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI reclocked buffered video
outputs
• AES OUT (1-8) – eight AES-3id (coaxial 75Ω) outputs (16 AES
channels)

Video Processor Description
The 9502-DCDA features a downconverting scaler, video proc, and
user-adjusta ble aspect ratio cont rol and zo om control. The 9502-DCDA vide o
subsystem also provides the functions described below.
Video Processor
The 9502-DCDA provides full color processing control (luma gain and lift,
chroma saturation, and color phase) of the output video.
Scaler Function
The scaler function provides down-conversion to HD/SD from multiple
standard SD and 3G/HD video formats and multiple frame rates, and
cross-conversion between interlaced and progressive formats, with
auto-format detect/down-conversion of SMPTE 424M/292M/259M formats.
The scaler function also provides aspect ratio conversion that provides a
choice from several st andard aspect ratios. User-defined settings allow
custom user-def ined H and V aspect ratio control. Reticul e i ns ert i on pr ovi des

Timecode Processor
(See Figure 1-2.) This fun ct ion provi de s for ext rac ti on of time code data fro m
the input video, and in turn re-insertion of timecode data into the output SDI.
In this manner, timecode data can be preserved, e ven aft er fo rmat conv ersi on.
The function can monitor the SDI video input of the card for supported
timecode formats and convert the timecode to either or both ATC_LTC or
ATC_VITC for down-conversions to HD, and ATC_VITC or VITC

This function provides support for closed captioning setup. The function
allows the selection of the ancillary data line number where the ancillary
closed caption data is outputted when the output is HD. When receiving
HD-SDI, both CEA 608 and CEA 708 are supported, with CEA 608 and
CEA 708 (containing CEA 608 packets) converted to line 21 closed

Introduction 9502-DCDA Functional Description
Audio Processor Description
The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. This function
chooses from the following inputs:
• 16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video input (1-to-1
routing to SDI output)
The router function provides the following audio outputs:
• 16 channels of embedded audio on SDI processed outputs
• 16 channels of AES de-embedding on eight AES outputs pairs
Note: Although card de-embedding supports de-embedding to AES pairs 1 thru 8,
current rear module options support output only to pairs 1 thru 4.
The processor function provides group enable/disable and de-embedding of
the 16-channel embedded audio SDI input.
Audio Down Mix Function
(See Figure 1-3.) The Audio Down Mixer function provides for the selection
of any five embedded c hannel s serv ing as Left (
Surround (
into stereo pair Down Mix Left (
resulting stereo pair
Ls), and Right Surround (Rs) individual signals to be multiplexed
DM-L) and Down Mix Right (DM-R). The
DM-L and DM-R can in turn be routed to any embedded
