New Sapphire Series is a Winner all around, from its Mini Converter to its ST 2110 JPEG-XS Bulk Gateway
Cobalt Digital, Inc. has announced that two products in its new Sapphire converter series took home 2023 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards. Cobalt's Sapphire BBG-2110 JPEG-XS mini converter was a winner in the Remote Production category, and the Company's Sapphire 8JXS-8S bulk converter received the nod in the Hardware Infrastructure category. This official awards program recognizes some of the most significant and promising new products and technologies showcased by exhibitors at NAB Show.
NAB Show Product of the Year Award winners were selected by a panel of industry experts in 15 categories and announced in a live awards ceremony at NAB Show on April 18. To be eligible for an award, nominated products had to come from companies exhibiting at the 2023 NAB Show and be delivered within the 2023 calendar year.
REMOTE PRODUCTION CATEGORY
Sapphire BBG-2110-H/S & Sapphire BBG-2110-2H - ST 2110 JPEG-XS to HDMI Converter Appliance
Cobalt's Sapphire BBG-2110-H/S & Sapphire BBG-2110-2H mini converters are perfect for remote production with their high-quality design, function, and reliability packaged in a compact, portable form factor. The units are intended to be mounted behind the monitor and include single or dual 25Gb/s ports (for ST 2022-7 redundancy). Two models provide convenience for those needing only a single channel with one HDMI port, or for those requiring a dual-channel appliance with two HDMI ports. The mini converters also include full NMOS support for ease of configuration.
HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE CATEGORY
Sapphire 8JXS-8S ST 2110 JPEG-XS to SDI Bulk Gateway
Cobalt's Sapphire 8JXS-8S is a ST 2110 JPEG-XS to SDI bulk gateway openGear card that occupies four slots, allowing for up to five cards and 40 signal conversions in a standard openGear chassis. Sapphire 8JXS-8S includes dual 25Gb/s Ethernet ports for SMPTE ST 2022-7 seamless switching and supports up to 8 SDI signals, up to 1920x1080p60. Like all Sapphire converters, the card includes full NMOS support for ease of configuration in addition to the standard openGear DashBoard.
We are honored to receive, not one, but two 2023 NAB Show Product of the Year awards for our Sapphire Converters", said Suzana Brady, Cobalt's SVP of worldwide sales and marketing. "At Cobalt, we are constantly developing solutions that keep our customers at the forefront of a very competitive and crowded market. It's reassuring to have these products recognized by the prestigious NAB as technological advancements in a rapidly evolving industry.
During our centennial year, NAB continues to recognize the products that are transforming how content is being created, connected and capitalized throughout the broadcast, media and entertainment industry, said NAB SVP and Chief Customer Success Officer Eric Trabb. Congratulations to Cobalt for winning two 2023 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards in recognition of its Sapphire BBG-2110 and Sapphire 8JXS-8S, two products that have demonstrated ability to help storytellers face the challenges of the present and future by revolutionizing a critical stage of the content lifecycle.
