Introduction BBG-1002-UDX-FS Functional Description
BBG-1002-UDX-FS Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a function al block dia gram of the BBG-100 2-UDX-FS. The
BBG-1002-UDX-FS dual-channel uni t provides two i ndependent sig nal paths
(
Path 1 and Path 2) of UDX conversion, frame sync , and audio embedd ing and
de-embedding on a single unit. The two paths share an input and output SDI
crosspoint to receive and send two discrete SDI inputs and outputs. The
BBG-1002-UDX-FS also includes AES/analog audio support and CVBS
video I/O. In addition to a basic signal presence input failover function, a
Quality Check option allows failover to alternate inputs based on
user-configurable subjective criteria such as black or frozen frame. A
moving-box insertion can be enabled to serve as a dynamic raster confidence
check even in cases whe re the input video image is static or lost.
The BBG-1002-UDX-FS also provides timecode/closed-captioning
conversion from packet-based timecode formats and CEA608/708 HD
formats to HD ATC, SD_ATC, and SD VITC waveform-based timecode.
BBG-1002-UDX-FS Input/Output Formats
The BBG-1002-UDX-FS provides the following inputs and outputs (which
can be independently used for Path 1 and/or Path 2:
• Inputs:
• 3G/HD/SD SDI IN A thru SDI IN D – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs.
SDI IN A or SDI IN B can be set to failover to A or B in absence of
opposite channel of this pair.
• CVBS IN – CVBS coaxial analog video input.
• AES IN – BN C (AES-3id, 75Ω) ports as AES input (number of
ports dependent on rear I/O module used).
• AN-AUD IN – Four balanced analog audio embed inputs.
• Outputs:
• 3G/HD/SD-SDI OUT (1-4) – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI buffer ed video
outputs. Each output can be independently set as processed output
video or selected input video reclocked.
• AES OUT – BNC (AES-3id, 75Ω) ports as AES ou tp uts (number of
ports dependent on rear I/O module used).
• AN-AUD OUT – Four balanced analog audio de-embed outputs.
• CVBS OUT – CVBS coaxial analog video usable with SD video
streams.
Note: Input select also allows internal connection from one processing path output
to the opposite processing path input. This allows “serial” processing
connections without requiring external jumpering on the unit rear panel.

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX-FS Functional Description
Video Processor Description
Note: Unless otherwise noted, the following functions are independently available
for Path 1 and Path 2 processing paths.
The BBG-1002-UDX-FS video subsystem provides the functions described
below.
Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions
Used in common as a routing source for both Path 1/Path 2 is a GUI-bas ed
control that allows sel ecting from up t o four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inp uts, and a SD
CVBS analog video input. This function also allows processed outputs from
one path to be routed to the alternate path input. For analog inputs,
waveform-based ancillary data is preserved for extraction and usage later in
the processing chain.
The input can be selected using DashBoard manual control, set to failover to
an alternate input upon loss of the target input, and can be exte rna ll y sel ect ed
via a GPIO interface. An input
allows inputs to be filtered (screened) for only user-allowed raster sizes and
frame rates, with unallowed raster/rates being rejected as an input (input
unlock). Reclocked copies of any SDI input c an be out putted b y the uni t when
selected as a choice on the output crosspoint.
Allowed Rasters and Allowed Frame Rates filter
(Option +QC). Quality Check allows criteria such as black/
frozen frame events to propagate an event alert. This alert can be used by the
Presets function to invoke input video routing changes, GPO, and other
actions.
Timecode Processor
(See Figure 1-2.) This fun ct ion provi de s for ext rac ti on of time code data fro m
input video source, and in turn allow individual timecode strings to be
embedded into the output video. The function can monitor any of the video
inputs for supported timecode formats such as ATC_LTC or ATC_VITC for
down-conversions to HD, and ATC_VITC or VITC waveform (with
selectable odd/even field line number control) for SD SDI or CVBS inputs.
Waveform VITC timecode can also be extracted from a reference input and
used as the output timecode value. If the preferred format is detected, the
preferred format is used by t he uni t; if th e preferred format is not det ected, th e
unit uses other formats (where available) as desired. An internally-generated
free-run timecode can be also be embedded on output video if desired.
The function also provi des con ver sion be tween va rious timecod e fo rmats a nd

Frame Sync Function
This function provides for frame sync control using an external reference
signal, selected input video, or internal timing as a frame sync reference.
This function also allows horizontal and/or vertical offset to be added
between the output video and the frame sync reference.
Frame sync can select from exter nal ref er ence sour ce, or free-run input video
sync. Selectable fai lover all ows altern ate refer ence se lection should the in itial
reference source become unavailable or invalid. In the event of input video
loss of signal, the output can be set to disable video, go to black, go to an
internal test signal generator pattern, or freeze to the last intact frame (last
frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).
An internal test signal generator provides a selection of various standard
patterns such as color bars, sweep patterns, and other technical patterns. The
test patterns can be ap pli ed to t he outpu t video upon loss of inpu t or manuall y
inserted at any time.

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX-FS Functional Description
Wings Insertion
Wings insertion allows a symmetrical L-R wings insertion to be integrated
into the card program video output. Wings video is accommodated using a
separate wings SDI input. The wings user interface displays wings timing
relative to the card output video, allowing wings timing offset to be adjusted
such that wings can be properly framed. (This function does not provide
timing offset c ontrol of the wings v ideo; of fset must be prov ided by a ext ernal
frame sync card or device controlling the wings video feed.)
The wings L/R insert ion wi dth c an se t to a utomati call y tra ck wit h sca ler ARC

Scaler Function (Path 1 Only)
The scaler function provides Path 1 up/down/cross-conversion to 3G/HD/SD
from multiple 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 rati o c ont rol . Re ti cul e i nsertion provides
safe action area marking as well as other reticule functions and patterns.
The scaler provides spec ia l modes that allow de-interl aci ng t o be bypassed in
certain cases to reduce processing latency. Also provided are selections to
optimize 3:2 pulldo wn conversion where timecode or other timing reference s
can be relied upon to indicate frame transitions.
Note: Option +UDX-FS-TO-2UDX upgrades Path 2 to full UDX/FS function. When this
option is installed, the card functions as BBG-1002-2UDX. Refer to product
manual BBG-1002-2UDX-OM for card with this option.
AFD ARC Processor
The AFD ARC Processor allows extracted Aspect Ratio Control (ARC) data
from the input video (in AFD format) and provides:
• H/V cross-conversion mat ri x in which a rece ived code directs a same
or other user-selectable alternate H/V ratio on the output for any of
several H/V ratios.
• Directs scaler automatic active ARC in response to received and/or
converted ARC code (Scaler Follows ARC).
The input video is checked for ARC formats and can be set to provide a
trigger upon when a selected ARC format is received, the code associated
with the received format can be applied to the output. Received H/V codes
can also be applied through an H/V conversion matrix that allows alternate
H/V ratios for a given receive d inpu t cod e. The se lected output H/V ratio can
be set to automatically apply this aspect ratio to the program video.

audio. The card’s 16 channels of AES embed/de-embed can be allocated
individually to any or either path’s embed or de-embed nodes. Similarly,
four-channel analog audio can be individually allocated across any or either
path’s embed or de-embed nod es .
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 (default
1-to-1 routing to SDI output)
• Up to 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES input
• Up to 4 channels of balanced analog audio input
(See Figure 1-3.) The audio processing subsection is built around a card
internal 16-channel audio bus. This 16-channel bus receives inputs from an
input routing crosspoint that routes de-embedded, and discrete AES and
analog audio inputs, over the 16-channel card bus. Correspondingly, at the
output end of the 16-channel bus is an output routing crosspoint that in turn
distributes the 16-channel bus signals to embedded, and discrete AES and
analog audio outputs.

An Input Audio Status display shows the presence and peak level of each
input audio channel received by the card. In addition to SDI embedded audio
channel sources, analog and coaxial AES inputs are available as input audio
choices. For AES audio inputs, payload is identified (PCM or data such as
®
Dolby
Digital or E). Each AES input pair has independent sample rate
converters to align each input pair with video timing to accommodate cases
where AES audio is not synchronous with input video (SRC automatically
bypassed for non-PCM payloads). As such, the audio subsection provides a
full crosspoint bet ween all suppor ted audio in puts and output types. The audi o
output crosspoint for each path’s embedded output allows embedded channel
selection from the respective path’s own channels, or channels from the
alternate processing path.

input switches. The cross-fade is queued for the next available RP168 switch
line following the switch command.
Note: • Clean audio switching is assured only for intentional, controlled switches via
user control. Clean audio switching cannot be assured for failover switches.
• Clean switching requires that both SDI signals (switch from and switch to)
be stable and present.
• Clean audio switching function is designed for PCM audio. This function
does not assure clean decoded audio when switching from/to Dolby or other
non-PCM audio.

received SDI video.
• Input Video Source/Status Selects the input video source to be applied to the device Path 1 and
Path 2 program video inputs.
Note: • SDI inputs selected must be present on rear panel (varies by
model).
• Some choices shown are a function of device options.
• Input select also allows internal connection from one
processing path output to the opposite processing path input.
This allows “serial” or cascaded processing connections
without requiring external jumpering on the device rear panel.
Serial jumpering can, in addition to other functions, provide
identical program video output streams with a delay offset
between the two streams.
• Care should be taken to make certain an output from a video
path is not applied as an input for the same path. Also, if
framesync Lock to Input else Free Run is selected, the initial
“upstream” path must be selected using Lock to Input Path
control (for example, if Path 1 cascades to Path 2, this control
must be set for Path 1 as lock source).

Input Format Disabled by User indicates raster size and/or frame rate
has been rejected from being passed by device (as described below in
Input SDI Raster Size / Frame Rate Filtering).
Note: Status display shows maximum device input complement. Input
complement is determined by rear panel layout (varies by model).
Input SDI Raster Size / Frame Rate Filtering
The controls shown below allow user filtering to exclude selected raster or rate formats from being received by an input.
Default settings have all raster sizes and frame rates “checked”, thereby providing no filtering (exclusion.)
In the example below, only 720p and 29.97 are checked, filtering allowed input to only be 720p 29.97 (“720p half-rate”).
Note: Rates shown in selector are frame rates and not field rates.

Output Flex Mix – Provides a 16-channel mixer in which each of the
inputs can be mixed onto up to 16 independent output summing
nodes. The input sources include audio bus channels from the two
embedded audio paths. Each input channel has independent gain
and mute controls.
Output Flex Mix
In this example, audio bus channels 1 thru 8 from each path are summed with the like-channel of the other path. These summed
outputs can then be outputted on any of the device audio outputs. The output flex bus allows cross-sourcing from both Path 1 and
Path 2 embedded internal Audio Bus sources to the Path 1 and Path 2 discrete output audio crosspoints.

Separate control groups for 4x3 and 16x9 coded input frames allow custom ARC (as well as pan/tilt) for various coded frames.
• By default, each row is set for its companion re-aspected output, along with output AFD code for the companion output (i.e.,
4x3 frames get re-aspected to a companion 16x9 re-aspecting and AFD code, and similarly 16x9 frames get re-aspected to a
companion 4x3 re-aspecting and AFD code).
In this example, default settings provide the scaling and tilt factors to convert a 16x9-coded 0010 frame to its
companion 4x3 0010 Letterbox 16x9 Top frame.

Provides event-based loading allowing a defined action
to be automatically engaged upon various received
signal status. Actions can be “canned” control
commands or user-defined by going to a user preset.
Event Setup Controls
• E vent based preset loading is not passive and can result in very significant and unexpected control and signal
processing changes if not properly used. If event based presets are not to be used, make certain the Event Based
Loading button is set to Disabled.
• Because event based preset loading can apply control changes by invoking presets, loading conditions cannot be
nested within a called preset (event-based loading settings performed here cannot be saved to presets, although the
settings are persistent across power cycles).
Event triggers allow a variety of event screening criteria, and in turn provide an Event Action “go to” in response to the detect ed
event(s). For each screened criteria, categories can be set as “Don’t Care” or set to specific criteria to broaden or concentrate on
various areas of concern.
• The Event-Based Loading button serves as a master enable/disable for the function.
• Go-to Event Action: can be user-defined presets, “canned” (hard-coded) selections (such as GPO triggers or routing changes),
or automated E-mail alert to a respondent (see Email Alerts (p. 3-63) for setting up e-mail alerts).
• Each Event (Event 1 thr u Event 32) can be set to screen for any or several Definer criteria as shown in the example below. Up
to 32 separate events can be defined. In addition to events screened for and triggered here, each Event can be set to trigger from
Alarms detected on the Alarms page (see Alarms Setup Controls (p. 3-66)). Engage Mode (True/False) allows triggering on an
inverse of a condition.
• Event 1 thru Event 32 are arranged with Event 1 having the highest priority, descending down to Event 32. Where multiple event
screening is enabled, lower-priority events are serviced first, with the highest-priority event being the final event serviced and last
action taken as well as last item logged in the Event History (see below). This helps ensure that a lower-priority event does not
mask detection of higher-priority event(s).
• The Status indicator and message shows the activation status of each Event. Green indicator means event is currently engaged.
• Some columns in the DashBoard Event Setup table are present only when certain options are installed (for example, Video Quality
column appears only with option +QC).
Event Definers
Each event can be uniquely set up for any of the condition types in these columns. Unless set to Don’t
Care, all defined conditions will need to be true in order for the Event to be considered active
•
•
•
Note: Event criteria settings in any row comprise an AND function. Where multiple criteria are selected, a true (trigger) condition
is not propagated unless all specified criteria are true. To independently screen for multiple criteria, rows should be set up
where each criteria is screened in its own Event row. Examples of this are shown on the following pages.
The Event History log shows any triggered
events in groups of five most recent events
(newest at the top).
In the example here, log shows Event 2 as the
most recent event, and its user-selected action of
GPO 1 Close.
Pressing the Force Event Refresh button
updates the list.

In the example here for Event 1, the Video Quality Events tab is set to screen for frozen video on Input A. When detected, this
status can be used here (Video Quality set to “Input A Event Engaged” indicating black or frozen video detected). Using the Event
Action selector, go-to action of “go to B” can be invoked (which in this example is a user preset that changes device routing to
use an alternate input source).
Conversely, to go back to the original source, an event could be set up with Video Quality here looking for “Input A Event
Disengaged” and in turn invoke an event action returning routing to the original video source (in this example, user preset
“normal path A”).
In the example here, Event 1 and Event 3 are respectively set for frozen video and closed captioning absence detection. Using
separate Event rows for Video Quality and ANC Data (closed-captioning absence) screening allows these conditions to be
independently detected and acted upon with user actions tailored to the event (when either of the conditions are detected,
different actions can be taken as selected).
In this example, frozen video calls a preset using an input video routing change, while loss of closed captioning invokes a GPO
event. Both Events 1 and 3 have corresponding go-to actions to resume normal operation when the event ceases.
Note: • Sc reened conditions are triggered upon start of event. Any event-based setup must be done in advance of the
BBG-1002-UDX-FS-OM (V1.0) BBG-1002-UDX-FS PRODUCT MANUAL 3-61
triggering event in order for event to be detected.
• If a desired user preset does not appear in the Event A ction drop-down, press the DashBoard Refresh button
at the bottom of the page to update the list in the drop-down.
• Loss of true conditions does not disengage an event-based triggering. A new set of true conditions must be
defined and then occur to transition from one event-based trigger to another.
• Time required to engage an event-based trigger depends upon complexity of the called preset. (For example,
a preset that invokes a video change will take longer to engage than a preset involving only an audio routing
change.)
• Make certain all definable event conditions that the device might be expected to “see” are defined in any of the
Event 1 thru Event 32 rows. This makes certain that the device will always have a defined “go-to” action if a
particular event occurs. For example, if the device is expected to “see” a 720p5994 stream or as an alternate,
a 525i5994 stream, make certain both of these conditions are defined (with your desired go-to presets) in any
two of the Event 1 thru Event 32 condition definition rows.
• Event Actions defined using user presets must be used with care to prevent conditions that could cause looping
or the removal or “override” of de sired expected s ettings. When using presets, the P reset Layer s election
should be used such that only required aspects are touched.
• Where multiple event scr eening is set up, the e vent you cons ider to be the highest p riority should be s et as
higher priority than lesser events (as shown in the exam ple above where Video Quality scre ening trumps CC
absence). Also, this prioritization helps ensure that all desired ev ents are screened for before a significant
change (such as input video source change) is effected.

User States is a special column which allows a logic state to be set (similar to a register or latch) whenever a defined condition
is first triggered. A user state (which is latched until cleared by some other definable action) can be sucessively used with other
user states, thereby allowing a final action to be invoked only when subordinate user states have been sequentially satisfied as
true.
In the example here, two independent units are used for an EAS alert input (one box supplies alert key video, and the other
supplies automated alert audio). Both communicate their ready signal each using edge-trigger GPO’s which are fed to the
respective GPI 1 and GPI 2 on the device. Because these two boxes are independent and cannot be relied upon to provide
coinciding triggers, a chain of user state definers are used here to engage a preset routing key video and EAS audio routing
when both states from both boxes are true in the order of GPI 1 first and then GPI 2 second for this example.

When either GPI 1 or GPI 2 has a rising-edge trigger
(cease EAS), user states 1 or 2 are cleared, there by
clearing user state 3. Either state change calls a
preset to revert to normal operation.

Provides three general-purpose timers that can be
triggered to start, pause, reset, or stop upon event
actions. The state of each timer, in turn, can also be
used to invoke other actions.
Email Alerts
Event Timers 1 thru 3 (Timer 1 shown) can be set with count-down values. The Pause/
Reset/Start control here are manual controls. The timers are typically used with
automated cues to start and stop the timer(s), as shown below.
in the example here, Event Timer 1 is used to set a logo insertion disable after a specific amount of elapsed time. A GPI inserts
the logo, along with a time started at that time. Upon the timer timeout, a separate action sets logo insertion to Disabled.
Provides setup for automated Email alerts when an
event has occurred.
Email Alerts
As an Event Action choice on the Events Triggers sub-tab, an Email alert can be sent as a response. Set up email fields as
shown in the example below.
Note: Network hosting the device must be accessible to email recipient’s network. It is recommended to set up and generate
a test event to test the email send.
When fields are filled-in to specify recipient and sender, and

• Firmware Upgrade Controls
Firmware upgrade controls allow a selected firmware version (where
multiple versions can be uploaded to the device’s internal memory) to
invoke an upgrade to a selected version either instantly, or set to install
on the next device reboot (thereby allowing device upgrade downtime to
be controlled at a scheduled point in time).
Note: • The web interface allows for much faster file uploads than using the DashBoard interface described below. See
Uploading Firmware Using Web Interface and GUI (p. 3-70) for details and instructions.
• The page/tab here allows managing multiple firmware versions saved on the device. New upgrade firmware from our
web site can always be directly uploaded to the device without using this page. Instructions for firmware downloading
to your computer and uploading to the device can be found at the Support>Firmware Downloads link at
www.cobaltdigital.com.
1. Access a firmware upgrade file from a network computer by clicking Upload at the
bottom of DashBoard.
2. Browse to the location of the firmware upgrade file (in this example, My

Provides controls for setting up controls which screen
for and propagate input program video alarms for
video, audio, and ancillary data defect conditions.
Alarms Setup Controls
The Alarms tab has several sub-tabs which allow setting up detection and alarm severity/propagation for input program video
alarms for video, audio, and ancillary data defect conditions (as described and shown below)
Video Alarm Setup sub-tab allows setting up screening engagement and disengagement holdoff
for frozen and/or black video detection on the device’s four SDI inputs (independent for each SDI
input). In the default example settings shown here, engagement and disengagement of alarm
generation occurs 3000 msec after event detect.
Factory default holdoff settings shown here are recommended for at least initial settings. If holdoff
periods are too brief, nuisance alarms may be generated during transitions to and from programs
and interstitials.
Conditions and alarm status can be propagated as
DashBoard tree-view frame alarms, downloadable .txt
files and/or Syslog IP-based alarms.
Audio Alarm Setup sub-tab allows setting up screening trigger threshold,
engagement and disengagement holdoff for low or missing audio levels on
the device’s embedded audio input channels.
• Levels above the Failover Threshold are considered normal.
• Levels below the Failover Threshold (and exceeding the holdoff) are
considered below normal.
Note: Audio channels screened are from the device SDI that is selected for
the program video/audio path (for example, if SDI A is selected as the
input source on the Input Video tab, the 16 embedded channels
comprising this video/audio input are screened).
Factory default holdoff and threshold settings shown here are
recommended for at least initial settings. If holdoff periods are too
brief (or threshold set too high), nuisance alarms may be generated
during transitions to and from programs and interstitials, as well as
during certain content.

3 Uploading Firmware Using Web Interface and GUI
Front Panel User Menus
Some of the mode and parametric controls available using the web UI (as
described in BBG-1002-UDX-FS Function Menu List and Descriptions) are
available using the front panel display and arrow navigating buttons.
The front panel menus offers a true standalone means to configure the
BBG-1002-UDX-FS with no connection to a network required, and is useful
where changes need to be done immediately (or in emergency situations)
without the benefit of network access. However, the web GUI provides
greatly simplified user interfaces as compared to using this menu and the
arrow controls. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that the web
GUI or DashBoard remote control be used for all applications other than the
most basic cases.
Uploading Firmware Using Web Interface and GUI
Firmware (such as upgrades, option keys, and presets .bin files) can be
uploaded to BBG-1002-UDX-FS directl y via the web html5 in terface without
going through DashBoard (see Figure 3-8). In addition to allowing uploads
without needing a DashBoard connecti on, this method t ransfers f iles t ypically
much faster than using DashBoard.
