9071 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 ch eck ed by vi ewi ng the Card Inf o
menu in DashBoard™. You can then check our websi te fo r the late st software
version currently released for the card as described below.
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 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 software 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

CAUTION
CAUTION
T o redu ce risk of electr ic shock do not remove line voltage service barrier cover on frame
equipment containing an AC power supply. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
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 arranged to
avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using only convection cooling.
The 9071 has a moderate power dissipation (12 W max.). As such, avoiding placing the
card adjacent to other cards with similar dissipation values if possible.
CAUTION
CAUTION
1-4 9071 PRODUCT MANUAL 9071-OM (V4.0)
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the 9071 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.
Introduction 9071 Functional Description
9071 Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9071. The AFD inserter
function provides for assignment and insertion of AFD codes into the SDI
output video. Using this f unction, AFD codes in accordance with the standa rd
4-bit AFD code designations can be applied to the output video.
This function checks for any existing AFD code within the received video
input. If a code is present, the code is displayed. When used in conjunction
with a separate downstream card capable of providing AFD-directed scaling,
the image can in turn b e scaled in accord ance with th e AFD coding embedd ed
by this card.
The function also allows the selection/changing of the AFD code ancillary
data line number for the outputted AFD code.
9071 Input/Output Formats
The 9071 provides the following inputs and outputs:
• Inputs:
• HD/SD SDI IN – dual-rate HD/SD-SDI input

• Outputs:
• SDI OUT – four HD/SD-SDI buffered video outputs

Timecode Processor
(See Figure 1-2.) This func ti on provides for extracti on of t imec ode da ta from
the input video, and in turn re-insertion of timecode data into the output SDI.
The function can monitor the SDI video input of the card for supported
timecode formats, an d then select and priori tize among SDI VITC,
SDI A TC VITC, and SDI ATC LTC ti mecode sour ces. If the prefe rred form at
is detected, the preferred format is used by the card; if the preferred format is
not detected, the card uses other formats (where available) as desired.

Note: • To communicate with DashBoard™ or a Remote Control Panel, the frame must have the optional
MFC-8320-N network controller card installed.
• DashBoard™ and the Remote Control Panels provide network control of the 9071 as shown. The
value displayed at any time on the card, or via DashBoard™ or a Control Panel is the actual value
as set on the card, with the current value displayed being the actual value as effected by the card.
Parameter changes made by any of these means are universally accepted by the card (for
example, a change made using the card edge controls will change the setting displayed on
DashBoard™ and a Control Panel; a change made using DashBoard™ will similarly change the
setting displayed on a Control Panel and the card itself).

monitor.
DashBoard™ allows users to view all frames on a network with
control and monitoring for all populated slots inside a frame. This
simplifies the setup and use of numerous modules in a large
installation and offers the ability to centralize monitoring. Cards
define their controllable parameters to DashBoard™, so the control
interface is always up to date.
The DashBoard™ software can be downloaded from the Cobalt
Digital Inc. website: www.cobaltdigital.com
(enter “DashBoard” in

Introduction 9071 Functional Description
9071 Rear I/O Modules
The 9071 physically interfaces to system video connections at the rear of its
frame using a Rear I/O Module.
All inputs and outputs shown in the 9071 Functional Block Diagram (Figure
1-1) enter and exit the card via the card edge backplane connector. The
Rear I/O Module breaks out the 9071 card edge connections to BNC
connectors that interface with other components and systems in the signal
chain.
These required BNC connections are provided by either an 8310-BNC or
8310-C-BNC frame (which both have a built-in BNC connector backplane
module), or by using an optional 9071 Rear I/O Module.
Video Formats Supported by the 9071
The 9071 supports all current SMPTE standard SD and HD video formats.
