Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP (Black)

Bi-Directional 8 channel 12G-SDI 2110 IP converter with 8 10G Ethernet SFP modules for optical fiber. Includes control panel and LCD for status and supports HD and Ultra HD standards to 2160p60. This converter is designed to add SMPTE-2110 IP video to 12G-SDI broadcast equipment. The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter features a 1RU design with 8 independent bidirectional 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 IP video converters using SFP modules so it can use optical fiber Ethernet modules for long distances. Each channel has a 12G-SDI input, but there's even a 12G-SDI program return input that sends to all channels. This means you can send a single 12G-SDI input to all the connected devices from the single connection.

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 model can be installed in equipment racks right next to the equipment you're converting. 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 or 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 8x12G SFP 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 the 12G‑SDI module.
