Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP

BUILD 2110 IP VIDEO SYSTEMS FOR BROADCAST, LIVE PRODUCTION AND AV

Blackmagic Design has a wide range of SMPTE-2110 IP video products, including converters, video monitors, audio monitors and even cameras. Plus they support Ultra HD using low cost 10G Ethernet. Most converter models are bidirectional, so they're fantastic to use on cameras when you need an extra program return. The rack mount models have an elegant design with a colour LCD for monitoring, menus and diagnostics. All models conform to the SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, including PTP clocks and even NMOS support so you can make connections using a video router panel. The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G model even includes a reference video output, timed to the 2110 PTP clock.

BUILD PROFESSIONAL SMPTE‑2110 BROADCAST SYSTEMS

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters have been designed to integrate SDI equipment into 2110 IP broadcast systems. The rack mount models can be installed in equipment racks right next to the equipment you're converting. However with Blackmagic Studio Cameras, Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3 and the SmartView 4K G3, you can build most of your SMPTE-2110 system without converters. Plus most Blackmagic SMPTE-2110 IP video products can be remote powered. But adding converters means you get a low cost way to transform all your video equipment to SMPTE-2110. Simply add a Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter to live production switchers, disk recorders, streaming processors, cameras, TVs and more.

CONFORMS TO THE SMPTE‑2110 IP VIDEO STANDARD

Blackmagic 2110 IP products conform to the SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, which specifies the transport, synchronization and description of 10 bit video, audio and ancillary data over managed IP networks for broadcast. It can also re-sync SDI inputs to a common PTP clock or external gear can lock to the reference output that’s also generated from the PTP clock. Blackmagic 2110 IP products support SMPTE-2110-20 uncompressed video, SMPTE-2110-21 traffic shaping/timing, SMPTE-2110-30 audio and SMPTE-2110-40 for ancillary data. Plus Blackmagic 2110 IP products support multicast, which is an efficient way of distributing video, audio and data from a single source to multiple destinations.

USES SIMPLE 10G ETHERNET FOR LOW COST

Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters are available in models with RJ-45 connectors for simple Cat6 copper cables or SFP sockets for optical fiber modules and cables. Using simple Cat6 copper cables means you can build SMPTE-2110 systems at a dramatically lower cost. The cables are simple and Ethernet switches for 10G Ethernet are very common. In most cases, modern buildings already have 10G Ethernet cable installed, so you can use the cables you already have. Plus copper cables can remote power devices such as converters and cameras. There are also models for optical fiber Ethernet. Optical fiber at 10G speed is much lower cost than 25G or 40G Ethernet. You can even use 3G, 6G or 12G‑SDI modules.

INCREDIBLY EASY TO INSTALL

One of the biggest problems with SMPTE-2110 is needing an IT tech on standby to keep video systems running. Blackmagic 2110 IP converters solve this problem because they can connect point to point, so you don't need to use a complex Ethernet switch if you don't want to. That means you get the advantage of SMPTE-2110 IP video with simple Ethernet cables, remote power and bidirectional video. It’s just like an SDI workflow. You can plug cameras into rack converters and get all the camera control, program video, power and tally, with a single cable. Or connect an HDMI converter to a rack converter for remote monitors. Everything automatically configures and just works.
