Bridge Your Broadcast Workflow: 12G-SDI Meets SMPTE-2110 IP
Transitioning to an IP-based broadcast workflow can be complex, especially when integrating existing 12G-SDI equipment. The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR is the ultimate solution, engineered to seamlessly bridge the gap between traditional SDI and the future of broadcast, SMPTE-2110. This powerful 1RU unit is more than just a converter; it’s a quad-channel powerhouse designed for maximum efficiency and reliability in demanding professional environments.
It provides four independent, bidirectional 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 IP video converters in a single, space-saving chassis. This means you can simultaneously send and receive four different video streams, making it perfect for multi-camera shoots, complex routing, and dynamic live productions. Each channel supports all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to a stunning 2160p60, ensuring your signal integrity is maintained at the highest quality.
What truly sets this model apart is its innovative power delivery. The four 10G Ethernet RJ-45 connections not only handle high-bandwidth video data but also feature Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++). This allows the converter to directly power connected devices like Blackmagic Studio Cameras or other converters, dramatically simplifying your cabling infrastructure and reducing clutter on set or in your rack. Forget running separate power lines; a single Ethernet cable per device handles everything.
Built for professional IP environments, the converter adheres to open standards for maximum compatibility. It features a common PTP clock reference to re-sync all SDI inputs, ensuring perfect timing across your entire network. With support for the NMOS protocol, you can build a virtual router, allowing you to discover and route video sources with the ease of a traditional SDI router. Housed in a robust 1RU unit with a built-in control panel and LCD for easy monitoring, the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR is the reliable, efficient, and cost-effective heart of your modern IP video workflow.
