Champaign, IL - March 16, 2026 Cobalt Digital, the leading designer and manufacturer of award-winning signal processing products, and a founding partner in the openGear initiative has announced its NAB 2026 lineup which includes numerous additions to its end-to-end IPMX and ST 2110 ecosystem. From new standalone processors to IPMX-native audio monitoring, multiviewers, gateways, and mini converters, Cobalt is building the bridges that support SDI and IP with unmatched flexibility.
Coming to NAB COBALT blueCORE Multi-Function Standalone Signal Processing in 1RU
Making its debut at NAB, COBALT blueCORE is a family of 1RU fully featured standalone signal processors. Stay tuned for more details to be released before showtime, but put blueCORE on your NAB radar. You'll want to see the endless possibilities blueCORE will offer for yourself.
COBALT PACIFIC Adds ST 2110/IPMX Output and Demodulator Options, Satellite/Internet Support
The COBALT PACIFIC compression line will be presented with an ST 2110/IPMX output option for the COBALT PACIFIC ULL-DEC upgradeable software defined broadcast decoder. The enhancement allows decoded content to be available simultaneously over SDI and over ST 2110/IPMX. For ST 2110 operation, a built-in frame sync will emit a PTP-locked signal.
Additionally, as FCC regulations require the remainder of C-Band spectrum to be auctioned, Cobalt has responded by adding support for hybrid Satellite-Internet operation to the COBALT PACIFIC compression line, compliant with VSR TR-06-4 Part 7. Cobalt is introducing a DVB-S/S2 factory-installed demodulator option that allows decoding and pass-through of satellite signals, on ASI and over IP. In this mode, satellite is used for bulk distribution, and the Internet is used to recover any lost packets, allowing the use of Ku and Ka bands for distribution.
New Cost-Effective Fixed-Function openGear Cards for Reinforced Growth
Cobalt is also introducing fixed-function openGear cards designed as cost-effective entry points with license-based expansion for scalability as workflows evolve.
The new 9925-FSx Frame Sync openGear card is an entry level one path frame sync card that supports license upgrades up to four paths per card, and an audio processing license upgrade for AES, MADI, and DANTE 64 support.
The new 9981-LUTx Color Processor openGear card is an entry level color processing card that supports license upgrades up to four paths per card along with options including: SCALER, BBC LUT, COLOR, 4K, LOGO and ANC.
Cobalt is also highlighting its portfolio of products that support end-to-end IPMX and ST 2110 workflows
COBALT ARIA Audio Line
The COBALT ARIA Audio series includes the only fully IPMX-compliant audio monitor on the market. Built for any environment migrating toward IP-based operations, the ARIA Audio Monitors feature best-in-class sound monitoring and 16 SDI or 64 MADI metering from a compact rack-mount form-factor. Sound is produced by an efficient Class-D amplifier with DSP and specially selected speaker components. The easy-to-use and customizable touch display front panel is designed for simple and intuitive operation with eight individual volume controls for mixing. Control can also be achieved through a web interface.
Cobalt will also highlight the 9935-AUD4-DANTE, a quad-channel with up to 12G DANTE/AES/MADI/embed and de-embed functions with frame sync capabilities. The card features two gigabit Ethernet ports, a 64 64 configuration, and a full audio router mixer.
COBALT UltraBlue MV-SW Multiviewer - Best of both, ST 2110 and IPMX
The COBALT UltraBlue MV-SW multiviewers are available as both a turnkey solution with four HDMI heads, or as a software package that runs on customer-supplied dedicated hardware. COBALT UltraBlue can receive compressed and baseband audio/video content over IP across a variety of protocols and formats with very flexible audio routing, bringing a multitude of options to suit every application, and now feature IPMX support for transitioning to either ST 2110 or IPMX workflows. The multiviewer also supports SDI inputs and outputs.
COBALT SAPPHIRE ST 2110 Mini Converters - Space-saving IPMX capable converters
Multiple models in the COBALT SAPPHIRE mini converter family of IPMX-capable standalone mini-converters will also be featured. Available in a variety of configurations including single, dual, and quad channel, with some models capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving, these SAPPHIRE units convert between IPMX compatible (and SMPTE ST 2110 compatible) signals and SDI/HDMI, with support for baseband video and JPEG-XS.
COBALT INDIGO - Gateways for Hybrid IP Infrastructures
The COBALT INDIGO gateway solutions provide a powerful on and off ramp between IP and SDI with support for IPMX as well as ST 2110. These versatile, high-performance solutions bridge the gap between traditional SDI workflows and modern IP-based infrastructures by simplifying interop, routing, and format translations while preserving image quality and latency performance-critical for transitioning to IP.
