Blackmagic Design 2110 IP UHD 4K UpDownCross 12G Converter with USB Port and LCD Display (Black)

The Blackmagic 2110 IP UpDownCross 12G Converter in Black is a professional standards converter that lets you convert between any equipment with SMPTE-2110 IP video, 12G‑SDI and HDMI video connections. You get the highest quality conversion between all SD, HD or Ultra HD video standards plus reference input for built in re-sync and redundant power supplies. The USB port on the front panel even works as an HD webcam. It conforms to the SMPTE-2110 standard for IP video, including PTP clocks and even NMOS support so you can make connections using a video router panel. The converter features built-in 2.2-inch LCD screen for monitoring video, audio and status plus menu settings.

Build Professional SMPTE‑2110 Broadcast Systems

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter has been designed to integrate SDI equipment into 2110 IP broadcast systems. 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 converter. Adding converter also 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

It conforms to the SMPTE-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 supports 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 converter support multicast, which is an efficient way of distributing video, audio and data from a single source to multiple destinations.

Multi-Rate 12G‑SDI for HD and Ultra HD

Blackmagic 2110 IP converter is designed for advanced television production. It also feature the latest 12G-SDI video connections. This means you can connect to traditional broadcast gear using SDI and new 2110 IP based broadcast systems with the same product. 12G-SDI is multi-rate, which means that a single video BNC cable can connect to any HD or Ultra HD equipment. You get support for 720p HD at both 720p50 and 59.94p. Plus 1080i HD interlaced standards in 1080i50 and 1080i59.94. 1080p support includes 1080p at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60p. The 12G-SDI also handles Ultra HD in all television standards including 2160p at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94 and 60p.

Uses Simple 10G Ethernet

Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter comes 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.

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 converter solves this problem because it 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.

Simple Point to Point

You can connect the converter point to point with a simple Ethernet cable between the converter.
