NEP Supershooters has selected Cobalt equipment for the new WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) mobile production vehicle. Products chosen include the 9062 up/down/cross converter, the award-winning 9035 analog-to-digital audio embedder with frame sync and A/V processing controls, and the award-winning 8090 HD/SD 12-bit standalone analog-to-digital converter.

"We have found Cobalt Digital to be extremely responsive to meeting our needs for innovative products. The Down Converting DAs, Embedders and De-Embedders have been designed to meet our requirements for format agnostic equipment with a web enable user interface. The Down Converting DAs offer broadcast quality outputs with field lock when converting progressive frames to interlaced," says George Hoover, NEP Senior VP of Engineering.

Hoover says "NEP has a long relationship with Cobalt Digital, leading back to when Cobalt was founded." In 1997, Cobalt started out by building digital-to-analog converters for the sports remote trucks of NEP.

"We are pleased to add the WWE vehicle to the growing number of mobile production trucks who are now using the 9000 COMPASS series products," says
Chris Shaw, Cobalt director of sales. " Cobalt engineering has proven more than capable in responding in a timely manner to provide specific solutions to customers' challenges—a vital asset in today's TV broadcast industry."
