Enter to Win a BBG S-to-H Converter

This Blue Box Group SDI-to-HDMI converter box provides direct conversion from SMPTE 259M, 292M, and 424M SDI to HDMI 1.4 or DVI interfaces, and in addition to the included DC power supply it can be powered via USB from video monitors or other equipment. An easy-to-use DIP switch sets YPbPr or RGB color space and HDMI or DVI output modes. The unit also maps up to eight channels of SDI embedded audio to the HDMI output and can de-embed two channels to drive unbalanced analog audio outputs.

This option supports the onboard storage of up to three user uploaded full screen slates/slides that can be instantly inserted in place of the normal output picture when a user defined error condition is detected.

9415DA-SFP-X: First openGear Card With Externally Accessed SFP Cage

This flexible SFP card module is the first in the openGear platform to host the SFP on the back plane of the card.

Users can pick from a range of Cobalt-supported Embrionix emSFPs in addition to the single, dual, and transceiver optical SFPs.
