Blackmagic Design Ethernet Switch 820
The Blackmagic Design Ethernet Switch 820 is a high-performance, low-latency network switch engineered specifically for advanced broadcast and film production environments. Designed to be the core of a SMPTE-2110 IP video system, it provides the massive bandwidth required for demanding workflows. All connections are located on the rear panel, ensuring a clean and secure installation with hidden cabling, which is ideal for equipment racks and broadcast trucks. The unit features a professional front-to-back cooling system that operates quietly, making it suitable for noise-sensitive post-production suites. For simplified management in complex IP setups, the switch includes a front panel with a 2.2-inch LCD, allowing for direct monitoring and routing of 2110 video sources without needing a separate computer. It also offers dedicated ports for NMOS control, system management, and redundant PTP clock connections, providing the reliability and control needed for mission-critical broadcast operations.
