Cobalt

Founded by Gene Zimmerman in 1997 and based in Champaign, Illinois, privately held Cobalt Digital designs and manufactures award-winning 3G/HD/SD conversion, throwdown, and multiviewer technology for the broadcast television environment.
To us, signal processing is about more than just powerful processing and system capabilities.
Just as important are scalable, cost-effective, real-world solutions that not only meet today’s demands but adapt to tomorrow’s challenges.
We believe that a scalable, space efficient and flexible approach to terminal equipment and systems offers the best value and choice without compromising ease of integration, features, or economy.
We call it Engineering Beyond the Signal™, and it’s that philosophy that guides everything we do.

At the same time, we keep an eye on the future to anticipate the next big need.
