CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, Ill.—Cobalt Digital will feature its newly released Cobalt Aria OG-Aud4-Dante cards, UltraBlue IP multviewer and SMPTE ST 2110 support in its encoders, decoders and converters during the 2024 NAB Show New York, Oct. 9-10 at the Javits Center in New York.

Well-suited for applications ranging from broadcast to Pro AV, the Cobalt Aria OG-Aud4-Dante cards are available in openGear form factor. Available as dual and quad-channel cards, they support up to 12G Dante/AES/MADI/embed and de-embed functions with frame-sync capabilities. The cards feature two gigabit Ethernet ports, a 32x32 or 64x64 configuration and a full audio router mixer.  Cobalt also offers the Dante capability on its 9904-UDX/9905-MPx processing cards for maximum functionality and flexibility, the company said. 

The new Cobalt UltraBlue IP-MV multiviewer can be provided as a turnkey solution with four HDMI heads or as a software package to run on customer-supplied dedicated hardware.
