Cobalt Digital's success at IBC 2025 was amplified by winning two more Best of Show awards from TV Tech and TVB Europe. The company's SAPPHIRE BBG-2110 Mini Converters earned recognition from TV Tech, while its ARIA Audio Monitor was honoured by TVB Europe.
Judged by a panel of engineers and industry experts, these prestigious awards spotlight innovation, feature set, perceived value and application in serving the industry.
The products nominated for the Best of Show program, provide an outstanding overview of new technology at the show and recognise the very best broadcast and AV products and solutions on display at IBC - shining a spotlight on the very best, said the awards editorial team.
Cobalt's SAPPHIRE BBG-2110-4Hi/4Sio and SAPPHIRE BBG-2110-2Hi2Ho/4Sio, the newest additions to the highly popular SAPPHIRE converter series, exemplify Cobalt's commitment to superior design, functionality, and reliability in a compact footprint. Both IPMX compliant models feature HDMI inputs, the second model also features two bidirectional signal paths. These whisper-quiet devices deliver low-latency IP conversion with support for 10G/25G Ethernet, audio sample rate conversion, and asynchronous audio mixing all within a space-saving chassis.
The ARIA AUD-MON Audio Monitor was recognized for flexibility and ultra-simple operation. Input options supported include: 2 SDI up to 12G or MADI, SMPTE ST 2110, 2 SFP for SDI over fiber, AES, balanced analog audio, and GPI for automation. Key features include a single-button interface, live video thumbnail, SDI monitoring output, individual channel volume controls for mixing, and configuration via front panel touch display or web interface.
The recognition from TV Tech and TVB Europe underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, practical solutions that address real-world challenges for our customers, said Suzana Brady, SVP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at Cobalt Digital. We're proud to see both our SAPPHIRE mini converters and ARIA audio monitor acknowledged by industry experts, bringing the total number of awards Cobalt has received in our 27 year history close to 60.
