Owner’s Manual
Cobalt Digital Inc. 2003

The COBALT 5590 is a high quality full 10-bit analog to digital decoder for
converting 525 and 625 line, analog composite, Y/C and component signals (YPbPr)
to 270 Mb 4:2:2 SDI (SMPTE 259M compliant) output with SMPTE EDH. The
user can select four different Y-C separation modes (4-line adaptive, 4-line non-
adaptive, 3-line adaptive and notch filter) for composite input and three different
YPbPr inputs (BetaCam™, MII™, or SMPTE/N10) for component inputs.
Features include differential inputs, user configurable 75-ohm input termination, user
Proc. gain controls, de-jitter filter on/off, Color Bars on/off and Pedestal on/off.
User Proc adjustments can be saved and factory defaults can be restored. The
configuration controls are mounted on the card edge for in-frame adjustments.
