International production company NEP Group’s Supershooter 6 – an IP-powered, 4K-ready next-gen OB vehicle – has hit the road to support the demanding and evolving requirements of live sports and entertainment content creators.
Supershooter 6 is equipped with a wide range of solutions from Cobalt Digital, including 12 HPF-9000 20 slot, high-power frames packed with openGear form factor cards and Cobalt’s OGCP-9000 ethernet remote control panel optimised for live colour correction applications.
The configuration comprises 4K and HDR capable cards and supports up/down/cross conversion, audio processing and colour correction. The system maximises space by enabling multiple capabilities such as multi-rate distribution, 3G/HD to SDI and analogue down conversion, high-density coax to fibre conversion, and multi-path up, down, cross conversion to be leveraged from a compact footprint.
Over 100 Cobalt openGear Distribution Amplifiers, including the 9910, 9501, 9502, and 9410, give Supershooter 6 a full scope of 3G/HD/SD/ASI capabilities in a compact footprint. Functionality includes dual and multi-rate re-clocking, analogue video looping distribution with EQ, and extensive down-converting and output cross-point features.
Also installed in the OB vehicle are numerous Cobalt 9905-MPx software-defined audio/video processing cards, which provide quad path 3G/SD/HD UHD up/down/cross conversion, frame sync, flexible AES and MADI embed/de-emb, 3D-LUT-PRO, advanced colour correction and branding capabilities. Supershooter 6 also has the 9902-UDX 3G/HD/SD-SDI up/down/cross converter, frame sync, audio embedder/de-embedder with four analogue audio and composite analogue CVBS video input/output.
