Cobalt Digital BLUE BOX GROUP SDI-To-Analog HD_SD-SDI-to-HD_SD Analog Component_Composite - Manual

The BlueBox™ SDI-To-Analog Converter (hereinafter “BlueBox™ SDI>Analog”) provides a
small “throwdown” package that offers HD/SD-SDI to analog video-audio conversion.
Component and composite conversions are available, with support for NTSC/PAL CVBS, and
PAL-M CVBS outputs. The supported SDI input formats are listed below.
Note: BlueBox™ SDI>Analog does not perform format cross, up, or down-conversions.
Selected video output mode must be set to be compatible with input (e.g., CVBS modes are
compatible only with SD-SDI input). The unit receives its DC power from either connecting its
USB port to associated equipment, or by the supplied AC adapter.
Connecting BlueBox™ SDI>Analog
1 Connect BlueBox™ Analog>SDI to DC power using either or both the USB port or the
supplied AC adapter. Dual source (simultaneous) use provides power redundancy.
Note: USB connection derives only DC operating power from USB port. This connection
does not provide remote control or monitoring.
2. Connect SDI input and analog output. This provides the basic conversion connections.
Other connections do not require termination if unused.
Video Output Modes
BlueBox™ SDI>Analog provides highly flexible output mode selection using DIP switch
positions SW1 thru SW4, offering the modes listed below. Refer to diagram on rear page or
label on unit for switch positions. Connector port functions depend on mode selection (see unit
label).
