Bridge Your SDI Workflow to the World of SMPTE 2110 IP
Seamlessly transition your broadcast operations into the future of media with the Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G converter. This compact yet powerful device is the essential bridge between your existing 12G-SDI equipment, like broadcast cameras, and modern SMPTE 2110 IP-based systems. Forget the complexities and high costs of traditional infrastructure; this converter leverages standard 10G Ethernet to create a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective production environment that's ready for today's demands and tomorrow's innovations.
Designed for maximum efficiency, the 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G simplifies your setup dramatically. It connects and powers itself directly from a 10G Ethernet switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for a separate power supply and reducing cable clutter. This single-cable solution for power, control, and video makes it perfect for remote camera placement, mobile production trucks, or any space where a clean and reliable installation is paramount. The bidirectional design is a game-changer, allowing you to send a camera feed to your network while simultaneously receiving a return program feed back to the camera's SDI monitor output.
Blackmagic Design ensures uncompromising quality and reliability. The converter fully conforms to the SMPTE ST-2110 standard, guaranteeing interoperability with a wide range of broadcast IP equipment. To maintain perfect synchronization across your entire network, all SDI inputs are re-synced to a common PTP (Precision Time Protocol) clock. Video is encoded using the high-quality, low-latency Blackmagic IP10 codec. This open-standard, visually lossless codec is engineered for pristine Ultra HD video over 10G Ethernet without introducing significant delay, a critical factor for live production.
Beyond simple conversion, this device is packed with professional features. The integrated 5-pin XLR connection provides full talkback support, enabling seamless communication between the control room and camera operators. Furthermore, it includes support for the NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) protocol. This allows all 2110 IP devices on your network to operate as a large virtual router. You can easily make connections between sources and destinations using dedicated hardware panels or software, just like a traditional SDI router, bringing familiar workflows into the IP domain. Supporting all SD, HD, and Ultra HD standards up to a stunning 2160p60, the Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G is the ultimate tool for future-proofing your studio.
