Bridge Your SDI Workflow to the Future of IP Broadcasting
Seamlessly integrate your existing 12G-SDI broadcast infrastructure into the future of production with the Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP. This powerful, high-density converter is the essential bridge for any professional facility transitioning to a flexible, scalable SMPTE-2110 IP video workflow. Housed in a compact 1RU chassis, this unit is an efficiency powerhouse, eliminating the need for multiple single-channel converters and saving valuable rack space and reducing system complexity. The use of a standard 10G Ethernet network significantly lowers installation costs compared to traditional SDI routing, providing a cost-effective path to IP.
Built on open standards, the converter ensures maximum compatibility and avoids vendor lock-in. Full conformance with the SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, audio, and ancillary data means it works with a vast range of broadcast equipment. It also includes support for the NMOS protocol, enabling you to build a sophisticated virtual router. All 2110 IP sources and destinations appear on a single screen, allowing you to manage connections with the ease of a traditional SDI router matrix, but with the limitless scale of an IP network.
At its core, the converter is designed for pristine quality and low-latency performance. Each SDI input is re-synced to a common PTP clock, ensuring all your video sources are perfectly frame-aligned for clean switching. Blackmagic's own open-standard IP10 codec delivers visually lossless video with minimal delay, crucial for live production environments. With eight SFP cages for optical fiber or copper modules, a front-panel LCD for monitoring, and support for all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to a stunning 2160p60, the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter is the strategic tool for building a modern, robust, and future-proof broadcast facility.
