9082 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 ecked by viewing the Card I n fo
menu in DashBoard™. See Checking 9082 Card Information (p. 3-7) in
Chapter 3, “Operating Instructio ns” for more infor mation. You can then check
our website for the lates t 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
Downloads 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

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
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.
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the 9082 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.
CAUTION
1-4 9082 PRODUCT MANUAL 9082-OM (V4.4)
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.

The 9082 provides the following inputs and outputs:
• Inputs:
• HD/SD SDI IN – dual-rate HD/SD-SDI input
• Outputs:
• SDI OUT – four dual-rate HD/SD-SDI buffered video outputs
• RCK OUT – four reclocked HD/SD-SDI input copies
of the 9082. The practical input/output complement is determined by the particular Rear I/O Module used with the 9082. Refer to 9082 Rear I/O Modules

Introduction 9082 Functional Description
Video Processor Description
Video Processor
The 9082 provides full color processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma
saturation, and color phase) of the output video.
Frame Sync Function
This function p rovide s for fra me s ync co ntrol usin g e ither one of t wo ext ern al
EXT REF IN (1,2) reference sign als di stri buted wit h the ca rd fra me, or the inpu t
video as a frame sync reference.
This function allows horiz ontal and/or ver tica l of fset to be added bet ween the
output video and the frame sync reference. A video delay offset function
allows adding or reducing video delay. This function is useful for correcting
lip sync problems when video and audio paths in the chain experience
differing overall delays. A Reset Framesync function resets the frame sync
following any horizontal or vertical offset changes, clearing any buffered
video and re-establishing the frame sync. The 9082 re-establishes video sync
following framesync changes by applying an offset in small, progressive
amounts to provide a seamless, glitch-free retiming.
In the event of input video loss of signal, this function provides for disabling
the video, going to a des ired color raster, or freezing to the last intact frame
(frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).
Note: Although the 9082 passes all four groups of embedded audio, the 9082 frame
sync function is not ideally suited for streams carrying audio because the
9082 does not have tracking embedded audio delay found on our cards specifically designed for video/audio framesync (such as the Compass
9083 models). If the 9082 is used to carry audio, noticeable audio glitches
may occur when processing asynchronous inputs.
®
9081 or
AFD Inserter
This function provides for assignment and insertion of AFD codes into the
SDI output video. Using this function, AFD codes in accordance with the
standard 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 and
ancillary data line number for the outputted AFD code.

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 mecod e sources. If the pre ferred for mat
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.
The function provides conversion between various timecode formats and
provides independent insertion and line number controls for each SDI
timecode output format.

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).

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

(enter “DashBoard” in
the search window). The DashBoard™ user interface is described in
Chapter 3,“Operating Instructions”.
Note: If network remote control is to be used for the frame and the frame has not yet
been set up for remote control, Cobalt

Introduction 9082 Functional Description
9082 Rear I/O Modules
The 9082 physically interfaces to system video connections using a Rear I/O
Module. Figure 1-4 shows a typical 9082 Rear I/O Module.
All inputs and outputs shown in the 9082 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 9082 card edge connections to industry
standard connecti ons that interface wit h ot her components and sys te ms in th e
signal chain.
In this manner, the particular inputs and outputs required for a particular
application can be acc ommodat ed using a Rear I/O Module tha t b est sui ts the
requirements. The required input and outputs are broken out to the industry
standard connectors on the Rear I/O Module; the unused inputs and outputs
remain unterminated and not available for use.
The full assortment of 9082 Rear I/O Modules is shown and described in
9082 Rear I/O Modules (p. 2-4) in Chapter 2, “Installation and Setup”.
Viewed from rear, the right column
of BNC connectors accommodates
the right-most card, with the left
column accommodating the
adjacent card to the left.
In this example with two 9082 cards
in slots 1 and 2, the right column
serves 9082, slot 1 and the left
column serves 9082, slot 2.
Where a maximum of five BNC connections can suit
particular I/O requirements, a “split” Rear I/O Module offers
maximum card density within the frame by accommodating
two cards using a module occupying no more area than a
standard module. The RM20-9082-A/S shown here
accommodates the signal complement shown for two
adjacent 9082 cards. (Split modules are identified by “/S” in
the part number.)
