Overview of Cobalt Digital at NAB 2026
\nCobalt Digital returns to the NAB Show with a suite of products that bridge traditional SDI workflows and emerging IP standards. The company highlights its commitment to IPMX certification, the integration of ST 2110 transport, and the introduction of the versatile blueCORE processor line. Attendees can expect demonstrations that illustrate how these technologies interoperate, providing broadcasters with flexible routing and monitoring capabilities across both legacy and next‑generation infrastructures.
\nblueCORE Multi‑Function Processor
\nThe new blueCORE family arrives as a compact 1RU chassis delivering full‑featured processing without the need for external racks. Designed as a standalone unit, it supports audio leveling, video scaling, and waveform analysis within a single enclosure. Its modular firmware enables users to add signal processing blocks on demand, reducing hardware footprint while maintaining high performance.
\nPacific Line Enhancements
\nCobalts Pacific line now includes an optional ST 2110/IPMX output module that converts decoded streams for simultaneous SDI and IP distribution. The upgrade introduces a built‑in frame sync that generates a PTP‑locked timing reference, ensuring frame‑accurate alignment across networks. Additionally, a factory‑installed DVB‑S2 demodulator expands satellite reception capabilities, supporting both ASI and IP transport paths.
